An emerging trend among real estate investors has made its way into Miami’s development community.

Ricky Trinidad, Coral Gables-based developer and president of Metronomic Inc., recently launched a private crowdfunding platform to raise capital for his residential projects, where investors can pitch in as little as $2,000 to back the firm’s latest ventures: GroveHaus, a boutique rental community in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood, and Plaza Celia, a mixed-use residential and retail development in Miami’s Little Havana.
