Mr. Worldwide is staying close to home.
The Miami-born recording artist Pitbull, whose real name is Armando Christian Pérez, selected one of his childhood homes as the future site of his music company headquarters, sources confirmed to the Real Deal.
The modest, single-family home is located at 25 NE 28th St., within Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. It was built in 1927, according to city records, and spans just 720 square feet on a 1,750-square-foot lot. The home’s last recorded sale totaled $400,000 in 2015.
Soon, however, the site could host the eight-story headquarters of Pitbull’s Mr. 305 music company. The modest two-bedroom home has already received city approval for demolition.
The construction plan, spearheaded by project developer Rilea Group, is seeking approval from the Wynwood Design Review Committee on Tuesday, March 10, when it will be put to a vote.
The applicant, Un Melon en Wynwood LLC, is an affiliate of Pitbull’s Miami-based independent music label. The label specializes in “globally recognized, Latin-infused hip-hop and pop music,” according to the application.
