Related's Urban-Village Bet on Aventura
In 2004 the Related Group bet that Aventura wanted city living, not just country-club living, and priced it from $139,900 to prove it to prove it. Arquitectonica's courtyard scheme, with two mid-rise towers joined by amenity decks over a retail podium, created a pedestrian pocket years before the town-center zoning caught up. The interiors, by Miami's MacDonald Design Associates, brought a contemporary edge the market hadn't seen. That Venture bet shaped everything built around it since.
Buying or Renting in the Town Center
The resale market here rewards condition: renovated units with quartz counters and updated baths command a clear premium over original-condition homes. Investors like the six-month-minimum rental policy and the built-in tenant pool of mall, medical, and transit commuters. See how it compares across the Aventura market.
Venture owns the town-center pitch: walkability is the amenity. Aventura Mall's restaurant row is the default dinner plan: Divieto for Italian, Motek for Mediterranean brunch, Pubbelly Sushi for Japanese-Latin, CVI.CHE 105 for ceviche. Groceries come from the Publix-anchored plazas nearby, and the Brightline station turns Miami and Fort Lauderdale into train rides instead of drives. For the big night, Bourbon Steak at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa is fifteen minutes west. Nearby comparisons for the newer town-center rental stock: Modera Aventura and Aventura ParkSquare.
Venture Frequently Asked Questions
❯ What's the difference between Venture East and Venture West?
The East tower (18800 NE 29th Ave) is the 11-story one; the West tower (2775 NE 187th St) rises 7 stories. Both share the courtyard amenity deck and retail podium. East units skew slightly larger on average, but floor plans overlap. Compare by exposure, floor height, and condition rather than tower name.
❯ Who developed and designed it?
The Related Group, the Miami developer behind New York's Hudson Yards, developed the project, with architecture by Arquitectonica, the firm behind Brickell City Centre. Related's Brickell legacy continues on our 500 Brickell page.
❯ What are the rental rules?
The association allows leasing with a six-month minimum term and up to two leases per year, genuinely investor-friendly by Aventura standards. Confirm current approval fees and any waiting periods with the association before buying for rental income.
❯ What amenities do residents get?
Three pools, Jacuzzi, private cabanas, a meditation lawn, state-of-the-art fitness center, spa with sauna and steam room, theatre-style screening room, club room with billiards, business center, wine storage, concierge and valet, plus the courtyard retail and dining at street level.
❯ What do units cost today?
Resales typically run from the mid-$300s for one-bedrooms to the $700s for three-bedrooms, still among Aventura's most accessible price points per square foot. Rentals lease steadily given the town-center location and transit access.
❯ Is it pet-friendly and walkable?
Yes to both. The community is pet-friendly, and the Walk Score is among Aventura's highest: the mall, houses of worship, Publix-adjacent plazas, and the Brightline station are all genuinely walkable.
