Aventura is a planned, suburban city located in
northeastern Miami-Dade County, Florida. The city name is from
the Spanish word for "adventure", and was named "Aventura" after
one of the developers of the original group of condominiums in
the area remarked to the others, "What an adventure this is
going to be."[3]
The name predates the well known mall (Aventura Mall) built near
the condominium developments. According to the U.S. Census
estimates of 2007, the city had a population of 29,475.[4]
History
Most of what would later become the City of Aventura was
initially developed during the late 1970s and into the
80s as a high-rise residential area by Oxford
Development Company, when the area was still mostly
swampland known as "Biscayne Gardens". Although
Aventura functions as a separate city, incorporated in
1995, it is still served by Miami-Dade Fire and rescue,
and the official addresses in Aventura are still Miami
addresses. Aventura holds and funds its own police
department, which was formed in 1997.
Aventura is also home to the Aventura Mall, a high-end regional mall which was developed by Ray Parello, Donny Soffer, and Eddie Lewis of Oxford Development and is currently owned by Simon Property Group and Turnberry Associates. The enormous success of the mall encouraged explosive growth in the area and includes an expansive AMC movie theater, as well as Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, JCPenney, Sears, and Equinox.
