The Life Time Coral Gables, one of the major mixed-use development projects in Coral Gables, has finally been completed and is now open for use. This $500 million facility was developed through a partnership between Nolan Reynolds International, an integrated real estate company based in Minnesota and Life Time Fitness, a health club chain.
Located between 237 South Dixie Highway and 255 South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables, the Life Time Coral Gables rises 14 stories high and spans over 1.2 million square feet, with an architectural design portraying an H-shaped structure that is connected in Mediterranean style, with ample spaces of amenity decks. The architectural design of this project was handled by the New York-based, Gensler, while the construction was managed by the London-based Balfour Construction company.

The facility also features a bistro on the rooftop, with two pools; a multi-purpose hall for sporting activities; a Kids Academy; and a café.
