Shovel-ready waterfront in Miami Shores. 1185 NE 104th Street is a waterfront redevelopment site in the Village of Miami Shores, with a dock and boat lift already in the water. What separates it from a raw lot is what comes with it. The architectural set for a new two-story residence is drawn and sealed. The new seawall and dock are engineered, signed and sealed by a Florida PE. A current boundary and topographic survey is in hand, and so is a construction proposal. A buyer inherits the design and engineering work instead of starting it.
