"Soleste Spring Gardens represents a significant investment in the historic Spring Garden District, an area where we have been extremely optimistic for a long time," said property manager Jeffrey Ardizon in a press release.
Spring Garden was designated a Historic District by the city in 1997 because of its archaeological and architectural importance to Miami. Germany-born Miami developer John Seybold was one of the early owners to develop the land in the early 1900s, according to Professor John Kneski who wrote the report on the historical designation.
The Spring Garden is bounded by the river, Northwest 11th Street Road and 12th Avenue east of Eighth Street Road and the Seybold Canal.

Amenities include a pool with a sundeck and private cabanas, an outdoor kitchen and bar, a dog park, a pet spa, a lawn for yoga, and charging stations for electric cars. The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

The Soleste Spring Gardens are located near the Culmer Metrorail Station. It's named after the neighborhood and Estate's Soleste multi-family brand, which extends to West Miami and Palmetto Bay.

“We have a strong track record of empowering neighborhoods by offering luxury rentals at affordable prices. Together with all our partners, I take my hat off to Bank OZK because they continue to be committed to and trust our business plan, ”said Ardizon.
