“The impressive lease-up performance is a testament to the asset’s appeal and prime location, proximate to key demand drivers, entertainment venues, and transit routes,” said Roger Karré, COO of PREMIUM Development Inc.
Developed with incredible attention to detail and a focus on smart design, FIRST Apartments is the premier luxury rental option in East Little Havana. The community features spacious, luxuriously appointed apartment homes that are complemented by an excellent amenity package, including health club quality fitness facilities, a resort-style lap pool, and an expansive bark park.
