In 2021, an unsolicited plan for a 3 tower project at the College Station Garage in Downtown Miami was submitted to the Miami Parking Authority (MPA). The proposal that has been submitted to the MPA during that time is now moving forward as of June 2022.
The brains behind the project include a partnership between Miami-based builders Related Group (Related) and ROVR Development (ROVR), as well as Terra Group (Terra) and Apollo Global Management (Apollo).
As of January 19, 2022, the MPA has ranked the proposal from Related and ROVR as the top bid ahead of Terra and Apollo. Both partnerships are planning to create substantial mixed-use projects. The replacement of a 1,439-space garage, which was erected in 1973 and is 7 floors tall, will be subject to a 99-year land lease and development agreement, according to the MPA.
According to the developer, 15% of the residential units would be set aside as worker housing for people earning up to 140 percent of the area median income, and 20% of the apartments would be reserved as affordable housing for seniors earning up to 50% of the area median income. Units would range in size from 360 to 1,310 square feet, with an average unit size of 722 square feet. There would be 138 studios, 636 one-bedroom units, 354 two-bedroom units, and 72 three-bedroom units.
In addition to an urgent care facility and a nonprofit art center, the public area might function as a fire station. The lease is anticipated to be finalized by Related and ROVR in 2023, with construction taking place over a 60-month period. The developers would need to find other parking solutions for adjoining residential towers that have previously used the College Station Garage, assuming that this proposal is truly the winning bid. The MPA would retain control of the parking component.
The developers stated earlier this year that they anticipate starting construction in early 2023.
