CLIENT NEWS: Adam Neumann received the stamp of approval from city officials to build bigger in Aventura.

At a June 2 meeting, Aventura commissioners unanimously greenlighted a larger version of the billionaire WeWork co-founder’s planned Flow-branded multifamily development, allowing Neumann and his partner, Israel-based Canada Global, to increase the project’s density and height at Aventura Corporate Center.

The developers filed amended plans for the 8.6-acre site at 20801, 20803 and 20807 Biscayne Boulevard, the South Florida Business Journal reported.

The revised plans call for 720 multifamily units in two 32-story towers rising 367 feet, up from the previously approved development of 675 apartments in three 29-story buildings. The developers are also seeking to reduce parking, proposing 1,556 spaces instead of the 2,505 spaces approved previously.

The project would include 20 units designated as “hero housing” for city employees, first responders and teachers. In exchange for the requested conditional use approval, the developers also pledged $5 million toward a city-run charter school, along with 25 community vehicles and 50 bicycles for residents.
