This property is a great purchase for both owner-occupants and investors. It can be delivered vacant or occupied, depending on the buyer's needs. The seller is open to all offers: sell and lease back, or the buyer can begin operations on Day 1. This is a sale of two units with two folios: 1000 & 1008 SW 8th Street. An inspection and appraisal were both completed and passed within the last 12 months, with a newer roof on the 1008 side. Both 1000 and 1008 have their own gated parking.
Situated in one of Miami’s most active, vibrant, and resilient submarkets: 1000–1008 SW 8th Street in Little Havana. This ±8,959 SF corner retail building sits on a 13,050 SF lot with 88 feet of frontage on world-famous Calle Ocho, offering exceptional visibility, strong daily traffic, and a highly recognizable location in a corridor that continues to attract capital, tenants, and redevelopment interest. There is a grandfathered permit for an additional exposure opportunity with a pylon (stick) sign on SW 8th Street, and an existing grease trap is already in place.
This property boasts a highly accessible and desirable location just one mile from Brickell/Downtown, one to two minutes from I-95, and minutes from Wynwood, the Design District, Midtown, Coral Gables, Miami International Airport, and the Port of Miami, placing it at the center of Miami’s strongest demand drivers. The broader trade area continues to expand, supported by population growth, new multifamily and mixed-use development, and an ever-growing customer base for retail, food and beverage, medical, and service uses.
Current zoning allows for high-density, mixed-use development, specifically up to eight stories with a 5.0 Floor Area Ratio (FAR), or higher limits under the Live Local Act. Suitable uses include retail, restaurant/bar/café, office, showroom, gallery, lodging, learning center, school, a variety of medical office uses, and entertainment and recreational businesses such as an indoor pickleball complex.
The area is experiencing a significant wave of primarily housing-led redevelopment, with several projects either recently completed or moving through approvals. The dominant themes are housing and the replacement of older low-rise buildings with denser communities. With new developments continuing to emerge, don’t wait until prices skyrocket after stabilization. Get in now and enjoy the versatility and visibility of this major corridor connecting the heartbeats of Miami.

These projects point to Little Havana becoming more vertical and transit-oriented, with new apartments concentrated near major corridors and downtown access.
A simple way to picture the trend: older 2- to 3-story walk-ups are being replaced by mid-rise and high-rise buildings that pack in more households while adding amenities and, in some cases, ground-floor retail. With the rising populations and popularity for families moving into Little Havana, there's an increase demand of retail and service businesses. Don't wait to own a piece of paradise with music, history and character in Calle Ocho, Little Havana.
