Aventura

Shopping, high-rises, planned community

History

Developed starting in the 1970s by Don Soffer as a master-planned community anchored by Aventura Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the US, Aventura grew into a dense corridor of luxury condo towers and became its own incorporated city in 1995.

New construction

Aventura's Biscayne Boulevard corridor is adding Centtral Aventura, a 9-story, 145,000-sq-ft mixed-use project with the city's first multi-story digital billboard, plus Avenia Aventura by Fendi Casa completing in 2026 and two proposed 31-story towers at the Arium Lincoln Pointe site.

Fun facts

  • Aventura Mall is the third-largest mall in the U.S. by leasable retail space, drawing shoppers from across South Florida and abroad.
  • The city is built around the Turnberry golf course and marina, developed by the Soffer family starting in the 1970s.
  • Aventura is one of the most walkable cities in Miami-Dade, with a dedicated trolley system connecting residential towers to the mall and business district.

Good to know for families

Aventura draws families who want a resort-like, walkable lifestyle in condo towers — the city runs its own highly-rated charter school (Aventura City of Excellence School), a strong draw for families choosing between condo living and a traditional suburb.

Moving from outside Miami-Dade?

Aventura sits right on the Miami-Dade/Broward county line, so double check which county and school district a specific building or address falls into — it affects property tax rates and school zoning even for addresses just blocks apart.
