We are committed to fostering South Florida’s economic growth and investment.”

The developer, Rilea Group, is a multi-faceted real estate development and management company with over 8.5 million square feet of South Florida real estate under its belt, including One Broadway in Brickell, 1450 Brickell and The Monte Carlo in Miami Beach, among other marquee properties in South Florida.

The project will sit at the former Village Shoppes at Pine Plaza in Sunrise, Broward County. Amenities at Vista Verde at Sunrise will include a fitness center, a racquetball court, a swimming pool and sundeck, covered parking and a boardwalk connecting the apartment complex to Old Hammock Park.
