The development team has filed its application with Miami-Dade County. Plans call for 7,800 new homes in a variety of price points, including townhomes, multifamily units, single-family homes and workforce housing, as well as 1.4 million square feet of retail space and 500,000 square feet of office space. At the heart of the proposed project is Village Core, a walkable town center with shops, restaurants, entertainment, plazas and a boardwalk. With the development application filed, the next step involves collaborating with local neighbors, government officials and community stakeholders to fine-tune the plan, according to Bill Albers, partner with MPKA, which is a consultant to the homebuilding industry.
