Aventura ParkSquare is a new mixed-use development that spans 7.4 acres in Aventura, Fla. The recently completed development’s design places a heavy emphasis on wellness.
This wellness-centric design approach includes extra-wide sidewalks for enhanced walkability, open staircases to support less use of elevators, and the elimination of elevated curbs for greater accessibility. These elements help residents and visitors feel more connected to the shopping, dining, living, and working experiences the development offers.
