Pitbull transformed his 720-square-foot childhood home into the eighth-floor Mr. 305 Music Company headquarters in Miami.
This year, Pitbull will transform a 720-square-foot childhood home in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood into an eight-story music company headquarters.
The Grammy-winning artist’s Mr. 305 Records will occupy a new 11,200-square-foot building designed by Deforma Studio, which features a striking black-and-white graffiti-style mural that stretches from street to rooftop.
The Wynwood Design Review Board will vote on the project on Tuesday, March 10, to determine whether the development will be submitted to the city’s zoning administrator for final approval.
The original building, built in 1927, had only two bedrooms and occupied 1,750 square feet at 25 Northeast 28th Street. Brickell-based development company Rilea Group is handling construction and has received demolition approval from the city.
The new headquarters will include 9,700 square feet of office space, allowing Pitbull’s brand to consolidate its business in a location closely tied to his personal history.
“Given the personal significance of the site, we are approaching this opportunity with caution and look forward to thoughtfully bringing new life to the property as part of Wynwood’s continued growth,” Rilea Group said in a recent statement about the project.
The architectural design incorporates Wynwood’s industrial heritage through recycled brick, glass and metal accents.
To reach the eight-story height, the developers requested the addition of three bonus floors beyond the community’s standard five-story zoning limit.
In exchange, they pledged to make a cash contribution to the Wynwood Public Trust, which is standard practice for density bonuses in the region.
Born to Cuban immigrant parents, Pitbull’s business career has expanded far beyond music in recent years.
His SLAM Academy charter school, founded in 2013 and operating in Little Havana, Miami, provides free education. In 2015, he was inducted into the Miami Children’s Health Foundation Hall of Fame for his charitable work supporting adolescent health initiatives.
The site, adjacent to Rilea’s Mohawk at Wynwood mixed-use project with loft apartments, is expected to begin in spring 2026.
The development is a significant investment in Wynwood’s ongoing transformation into a cultural and commercial hub.
If approved, construction on the Mr. 305 headquarters could begin later this year, marking a new chapter in Pitbull’s evolution as an artist and Miami entrepreneur.
The zoning administrator will make the final decision based on the committee’s recommendations.
