Transit Oriented Development (TOD) projects aim to increase use of public transportation and reduce automobile dependency. Based on its proximity to Miami-Dade Metrorail system’s Coconut Grove Station, The Grove Station Tower, at 2700 SW 27th Avenue, in Miami, is a TOD project. Studies indicate that walkable urban places are poised to become the most important cities of the future, which means that projects like this signal progress for Miami.
