Town Council Approves Dragonfly Shops Development in Cutler Bay

Cutler Bay, FL – December 5, 2024 - The Town of Cutler Bay is excited to announce the approval of the Dragonfly Shops at Cutler Bay, an exciting new retail and dining destination set to activate Old Cutler Road and enhance our community. The Town Council unanimously approved the development and site plan for the project during the December 4, 2024, Special Town Council meeting.

Located at the intersection of Old Cutler Road and SW 216th Street, this project will transform a 1.75-acre vacant parcel into a dynamic retail center that offers 12,400 square feet of retail space. Out of this space, 9,900 square feet will be dedicated to a restaurant and other retail. The Dragonfly Shops will fill a critical need for retail and restaurant options along Old Cutler Road, featuring a mix of stores and dining establishments with indoor and outdoor seating. Thoughtfully designed, the development will include ample parking, golf cart spaces, electric vehicle charging stations, and lush landscaping, including a landscaped buffer to preserve the privacy of neighboring residential areas.

"We are thrilled to see this project move forward," said Mayor Tim Meerbott. "The Dragonfly Shops will bring much-needed amenities and economic energy to our Town.”

As part of the approved plans, the vacation of theoretical SW 215 Street creates additional space to integrate the project seamlessly. In exchange, the developer will enhance SW 99 Avenue by creating a pedestrian-friendly walkway and incorporating landscaping to beautify the area. Additionally, the developer will install a sidewalk around the Town’s Lincoln City Park, further improving connectivity and accessibility for residents.

The development aligns with the Town’s Growth Management Plan and Neighborhood Green Standards, incorporating environmentally friendly elements such as electric vehicle charging stations and native landscaping to enhance sustainability.

Construction is expected to start within the next 6 to 8 months. For leasing opportunities, please contact Ana Barcello at (786) 587-7000.
