The Miami-Dade County Commission sold a nearly 4-acre parcel near Miami International Airport to Habitat Creators Inc. for workforce housing at a significantly reduced price. Former Miami Springs mayor Maria Mitchell criticized the deal as a "giveaway" to a private developer, hoping instead for public buildings like a new City Hall on the site. Initially, Habitat Creators proposed a larger project of three 10-story towers, but scaled back to 20-plus townhouses due to city concerns over size. The proposal's compliance with income limits is crucial for buyer eligibility.
"This is not a sale of airport property; it is a giveaway to a private developer," Maria Mitchell told the Herald in a recent interview.
Initially, Habitat Creators wanted to build three 10-story towers with 1,426 rental units. But the city of Miami Springs balked over the size, leading to the developer's decision to scale back."
