Miami, FL
Pinnacle, a Miami-based real estate development and construction company renowned for its innovative approach to affordable housing, is thrilled to unveil a breathtaking new mural at Pinnacle at Tropical Pointe. This vibrant work of art, created by acclaimed Venezuelan artist Gabriela Benatar, is the latest addition to Pinnacle’s celebrated Art in Public Places initiative.
Located at 25155 SW 136th Avenue in the Princeton neighborhood of Miami-Dade County, Pinnacle at Tropical Pointe is a brand new 215-unit affordable housing development for families that is completed and fully leased. In line with Pinnacle’s mission to transform communities through innovative design and thoughtful details, the mural is a testament to the company’s dedication to enhancing the lives of residents while enriching the surrounding community.
Gabriela, known for her vibrant botanical-inspired works, has brought her artistic vision to Pinnacle at Tropical Pointe with a mural that celebrates the beauty of nature. The large-scale artwork transforms the building’s exterior into an immersive visual experience, featuring lush foliage and intricate floral designs that reflect the harmony and vitality of the natural world. Benatar’s art, which has graced high-end projects across the Americas, aims to inspire a sense of serenity and connection among residents and visitors alike.
“Art plays such an important role in our communities by enriching people’s lives,” said Louis Wolfson III, Partner at Pinnacle. “Gabriela’s mural really captures our commitment to creating vibrant, welcoming spaces that residents can be proud of. Art has the power to turn buildings into sources of inspiration and beauty, and this mural at Pinnacle at Tropical Pointe is a perfect example of that.”
Pinnacle’s Art in Public Places program has evolved from humble beginnings in 2001, before public art was fashionable in multi-family housing, to a cornerstone of the company’s mission to create distinctive, people-friendly residential communities. With millions invested in art installations, the program has introduced murals, mosaics, sculptures, and architectural features to housing developments across Florida. These installations not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the communities but more importantly, foster a sense of belonging and pride among residents.
Pinnacle at Tropical Pointe, which will cater to residents earning up to 60% of the area’s median income, embodies Pinnacle’s holistic approach to community building. The garden-style residential development features one- to four-bedroom apartments. Beyond providing high-quality affordable housing, the development offers extensive amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, playground and more. The addition of Gabriela’s mural further reinforces the community’s identity as an inviting and inspiring place to call home.
