"This project is very personal to me. ... I know when people have a stable place to live and more money in their pockets, they bring their best selves to work," Migoya said during a recent public meeting with the Public Health Trust.
The plan is a major change for Jackson Memorial Hospital, which would demolish two office buildings across from a Metrorail station in 2027 to make way for affordable and workforce housing in two towers filled with shops, a hotel and more than 800 apartments.
A deal struck in late December by the governing body of Miami's public hospital system and Related Urban, part of Miami-based real estate development firm Related Group, is designed to help make housing more affordable for healthcare workers and others in pricey South Florida.
The future high-rises, including an 18-story hotel, in Miami's Health District would be a few minutes' walk from the campuses of Jackson Memorial, the University of Miami Health System and the veteran's hospital.
