And Why It Changes Everything

Last week, I went in for something simple — a heart calcium scan.

What I experienced was anything but ordinary.

From the moment I walked into UHealth – University of Miami Health System SoLé Mia, I had to pause. The scent — subtle, refined, almost like a boutique hotel. The hospitality — warm, elevated, intentional. And then… the art.

Did I say ART?

Curated. Impeccable. Museum-worthy installations that stop you mid-step. Fresh orchids everywhere. Natural light flooding the space. It didn’t feel clinical.

It felt visionary.

We are so blessed in South Florida.

More Than a Medical Center — A Regional Transformation

The newly opened UHealth SoLé Mia is a seven-story, 370,000-square-foot landmark — now the largest ambulatory center in UHealth’s network.

It joins UHealth Doral and The Lennar Foundation Medical Center as part of a powerful expansion strategy bringing academic medicine closer to where people live.

Inside, you’ll find nationally ranked institutions:

• Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center

• Bascom Palmer Eye Institute

• Desai Sethi Urology Institute

• A groundbreaking collaboration with Hospital for Special Surgery

AI-enabled physicians. Seamless scheduling. Digital integration. Healing-focused design.

This is not incremental growth.

This is infrastructure.

And infrastructure changes real estate.

When World-Class Healthcare Meets Walkable Living

Here is what many people overlook:

When a region attracts nationally ranked medical institutions, it creates long-term demand drivers.

Physicians. Specialists. Medical researchers. Traveling patients. Families seeking proximity. Investors looking for stable rental markets.

And this is where the conversation becomes very interesting.

Just minutes — and walkable — from SoLé Mia sits one of the most strategically positioned new developments in North Miami:

Nexo Residences

A fully furnished, design-forward condominium offering flexible daily rental capability — something increasingly rare in this market.

Why does this matter?

Because:

• Traveling medical professionals need short-term housing
• Patients’ families require flexible accommodations
• Investors seek properties near essential infrastructure
• Buyers want lifestyle + liquidity

Nexo delivers all four.

With interiors curated by Urban Robot, smart-home integration, and projected delivery approaching, it aligns perfectly with the new era of North Miami: wellness, mobility, flexibility, and global demand.

The Bigger Picture

As someone who studies market movement closely, I can tell you this:

Major healthcare expansion is one of the strongest indicators of long-term neighborhood appreciation and stability.

It signals permanence.

It attracts talent.

It elevates surrounding property values.

And when you combine that with a walkable residential product that allows daily rentals?

You create optionality — for both lifestyle buyers and investors.   

A Personal Reflection

When I left my appointment, I didn’t just feel reassured about my heart health.

I felt inspired by the direction our community is heading.

North Miami is no longer “emerging.”

It is maturing — intelligently and beautifully.

And opportunities positioned near transformational infrastructure do not remain undiscovered for long.

If You’re Considering North Miami…

If you would like a private briefing on:

• Investment opportunities near SoLé Mia
• Availability and pricing at Nexo Residences
• Daily rental projections and ROI analysis
• Or curated off-market opportunities in the area

I would be delighted to guide you personally.

Because where healthcare innovation meets walkable luxury — opportunity follows.
