The City of Miami Commission is scheduled to consider a key appeal from Miami-Dade County regarding the Coconut Grove Playhouse project at its meeting on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at City Hall.
According to the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Phase 1 of the project is underway, with asbestos abatement completed, historic architectural elements removed and stored, and structural repairs progressing. Phase 2 is planned to complete the rehabilitation of the Historic Gateway Building, construct a new theater, and provide major site improvements.
At the upcoming meeting, commissioners are expected to review the County’s application to the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board for exemptions and waivers related to the Playhouse property. If the appeal is approved, the County plans to submit architectural plans for Phase 2 for building permit review, which would mark a significant step toward advancing the long-planned redevelopment.
Public comment is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. in the City of Miami Commission Chambers at 3500 Pan American Drive in Coconut Grove.
The County has published a presentation on the Coconut Grove Playhouse project, which can be viewed online.
Additional updates on the Coconut Grove Playhouse are available on the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs website.
