Commercial Build-Outs in Wynwood
About 40 minutes from our Fort Lauderdale base. Wynwood is governed by the NRD-1 overlay, written to allow density while keeping the warehouse character, so a build-out here is usually adaptive reuse of a 1950s bay with a protected mural on the outside wall.

What we are building in
The commercial stock in Wynwood
1940s-to-1960s warehouse and light-industrial bays adapted into retail, restaurant, gallery and creative office space, with a newer layer of ground-up mixed-use built alongside them.
The authority having jurisdiction
Permitting and review here
Wynwood sits under the NRD-1 overlay within the City of Miami — a district written to allow density while preserving the neighborhood’s warehouse character. It sets its own frontage, parking and design rules, which is why two adjacent buildings can face genuinely different requirements.
What the ground and the structure do
Site and building conditions in Wynwood
Adaptive reuse means unknown conditions are the baseline, not the exception: undocumented electrical, roof structures never designed for rooftop mechanical, and slabs poured for forklifts rather than for plumbing. We survey and open up before we price here, not after.
Logistics
Access, loading and working hours
Narrow streets, no docks, constant event and pedestrian traffic, and murals on exterior walls that are protected assets requiring protection during construction. Deliveries are small, early and permitted from the street.
The case
Why owners in Wynwood call us
We build in buildings that are still open
Most commercial work here is not an empty shell. It is a floor above a working tenant, a suite next to a trading desk, or a dining room that has to serve on Friday. We phase, we work the hours the landlord allows, and we protect the path from the dock to your door.
A budget before you sign the lease
Send us the space and the landlord work letter before the LOI is final. We will price the build-out and name the assumptions, so you negotiate the tenant improvement allowance knowing the real number instead of finding it after you are committed.
Self-perform site engineering
Dewatering, support of excavation and deep foundations — including tidal sites — are done by our own crews, not brokered out. Very few Florida general contractors can say that. When a build-out turns into a structural or below-grade problem, it does not become somebody else’s schedule.
An institutional record behind the field team
Our leadership has delivered Hospital for Special Surgery’s FDR expansion, Emigrant Savings Bank fit-outs, the ADL tenant renovation in New York, and deep foundations at 1515 Surf Avenue. That is leadership experience, not a Romco Builders project list — and we will always say which is which.
Services
What we build in Wynwood
Tenant Improvements
You have signed, or are about to sign, a lease on space that does not yet fit how your business works. Between you and occupancy sit a landlord work letter, a design team, a building department, and a landlord’s rules about when you are allowed to make noise.

Commercial Renovations
The building works. It is simply the wrong shape for what you now do in it, or it has aged past what your tenants will accept. Renovating a building that is still operating is a different discipline from building an empty one, and it is where most schedules come apart.

Office Build-Outs
An office build-out is judged on two things nobody sees in the drawings: whether the mechanical system can actually condition the layout your architect drew, and whether it is finished in time for the move you have already scheduled.

Medical & Dental Build-Outs
A clinical space is not an office with a sink. It is a permit with a second regulator attached, a mechanical design driven by air-change requirements, and a set of inspections that a general commercial contractor does not routinely see.

Restaurant Build-Outs
A restaurant build-out is a mechanical and utility project wearing a finishes project’s clothes. The dining room is the part everyone discusses and the smallest part of the risk. The hood, the make-up air, the grease waste and the incoming service are what decide whether you open.

Retail & Showroom Build-Outs
Retail construction answers to two clients at once. Yours, and the landlord’s design criteria manual — a document that governs your storefront, your signage, your lighting levels and often the contractor you are allowed to use for anything that touches the base building.

Preconstruction Services
Every expensive surprise on a commercial project was knowable earlier. Preconstruction is the deliberate act of going looking for those surprises while the only cost of finding one is a redrawn detail.

Construction Management
Some owners do not need a lump-sum contractor. They need a professional team on their side of the table — running the design consultants and the trades, controlling cost and schedule, and reporting to them in numbers they can actually audit.

FAQ
Questions from Wynwood
- Do you take commercial work in Wynwood?
- Yes. About 40 minutes from our Fort Lauderdale base. Wynwood sits under the NRD-1 overlay within the City of Miami — a district written to allow density while preserving the neighborhood’s warehouse character. It sets its own frontage, parking and design rules, which is why two adjacent buildings can face genuinely different requirements.
- Why can two Wynwood buildings on the same street face different rules?
- The NRD-1 overlay applies frontage, parking and design requirements that vary by location and by what the parcel already is. It is not a single blanket rule. We check the specific parcel rather than assuming the neighbor’s answer transfers.
- What do you do about the mural on our wall?
- Protect it. Murals here are assets, not surfaces, so we plan scaffolding, staging and any wall penetration around them and document their condition before we start. If exterior work genuinely cannot avoid one, that is a conversation before the contract, not during.
- Do you charge to look at a space and give us a number?
- No. A walk-through and an order-of-magnitude budget on a Wynwood space you are considering costs you nothing — that conversation should not have an invoice attached. A full preconstruction engagement, with a line-item budget, a constructability log and a permitting map, is a priced scope of work, and we credit the fee against the construction contract if you build with us.
- Can you work around the hours our business actually operates?
- Yes, and in Wynwood it is usually the only way the job gets done. Phased construction, off-hours demolition, temporary partitions and a maintained path of egress are normal parts of our scope. Off-hours premiums are shown as their own line so you can see exactly what the phasing costs.
