MIAMI, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Miami Health System is proud to announce that it will open a world-class medical center at SoLé Mia, the 184-acre, $4 billion mixed-use development in North Miami developed by the Soffer and LeFrak families.

The medical center will offer the communities of North Miami, Aventura, and the surrounding areas academic medicine in specialties dealing with cancer treatments from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, designated a Cancer Center of Excellence by the state of Florida; Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, ranked the number one eye care institute in the country; ambulatory care; cardiology; neurology; otolaryngology; urology; and orthopedics as well as a host of other specialties.

"As the sole academic health system in the region, and with internationally recognized clinical research programs, the University of Miami is leading the transformation of health care," said Dr. Julio Frenk, president of the University of Miami. "This new facility, with the high-quality, specialized care it will offer to the surrounding communities, builds upon the longstanding partnership that the University has with our South Florida neighbors."

SoLé Mia, South Florida's next great destination in North Miami, is being developed by two of the country's most successful real estate families, the Soffers of Miami and the LeFraks of New York. The developers anticipate the 184-acre mega-project will take 10-15 years to build out with plans for 12 residential towers, 500,000 square feet of retail and commercial space all anchored around Laguna SoLé, South Florida's first seven-acre swimmable Crystal Lagoon. SoLé Mia's first two amenity-rich residential towers, The Shoreline, are officially open, featuring studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom rentals.

"I'm bullish on North Miami and the impact SoLé Mia will have on the community, especially as we continue to add invaluable partners like UHealth to our master project that'll offer everyone who enters a city-within-a-city experience complete with state-of-the-art residences, scenery, restaurants, and now, healthcare," said Richard LeFrak, chairman and CEO of LeFrak.

Built on a nearly 10-acre site, the new UHealth Medical Center at SoLé Mia will have 225,000 square feet of space, with an additional 100,000 square feet available for future expansion. It will feature an adjoining parking garage, direct access from Biscayne Boulevard, open green space including a reflection garden, and views of the ocean and lagoons that will enhance the experience for patients receiving extended services in the infusion and chemotherapy unit. It is also anticipated to include a bridge to a new hotel that will be convenient for patients and families who travel to receive care.
