Yard 8, now known as Cortland Midtown Miami, is a modern luxury residential tower located at 2901 NE 1st Avenue in Midtown Miami, just steps from Wynwood, Edgewater, and the Miami Design District. Completed in 2019, the 28-story building features 387 rental residences together with approximately 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Originally developed by Wood Partners, Yard 8 was designed with an industrial-inspired aesthetic that reflects the creative character of nearby Wynwood. Contemporary architecture is complemented by loft-style interiors, expansive glass, modern finishes, and amenity spaces designed around Miami’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
The building offers a diverse collection of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Residences feature open-concept layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, loft-style concrete ceilings, custom Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, energy-efficient stainless-steel appliances, frameless glass showers, spacious closets in select residences, and full-size in-unit washers and dryers.
One of the building’s signature features is its elevated 11th-floor resort-style swimming pool and sun deck, surrounded by tropical landscaping and offering views toward Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. The property also features an extensive fitness center with cardio and strength-training equipment, Peloton bikes, and dedicated areas for yoga and functional training.
Additional amenities include a stylish resident clubhouse with demonstration kitchen, indoor and outdoor lounges, covered outdoor bar, conference room, private workspaces, grilling areas, controlled access, package facilities, parking, and pet-friendly services. The combination of residential amenities and ground-floor commercial space creates a convenient urban environment for residents.
The property occupies a prime position in Midtown Miami, directly between several of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Residents are within walking distance of The Shops at Midtown Miami and minutes from Wynwood’s galleries, restaurants, nightlife, and cultural attractions. The Miami Design District and Edgewater are also nearby, while Downtown Miami, Brickell, Miami Beach, and Miami International Airport are easily accessible.
Originally introduced as Midtown 8 and later known as Yard 8, the property has evolved into Cortland Midtown Miami while retaining its position as one of Midtown’s established luxury rental communities. With 387 residences, 28 stories, extensive amenities, approximately 30,000 square feet of retail space, and a central location adjacent to Wynwood, the building offers contemporary rental living at the intersection of Miami’s art, design, shopping, and entertainment.
