ARTHUR MAYS VILLAS, NARANJA, MODELLO II, AND PINE ISLAND PHD

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · report

This legislative item, a status report on multiple public housing developments, was deferred by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026. The report detailed efforts to negotiate lease and development agreements with SG South Miami-Dade Ventures, LLC for Arthur Mays Villas, Naranja, Modello II, and Pine Island, and with PCSH Little River Development, LLC for Kline Nunn, Little River Plaza, and Little River Terrace. These negotiations were contingent on obtaining consent from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to dispose of the properties without a competitive process. HUD denied this request on March 13, 2026, creating an impediment to the direct award of development rights. The report recommends initiating a competitive process to resolve the HUD denial and satisfy federal procurement requirements. The Little River developments are part of a $15,000,000.00 grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for resiliency upgrades, addressing flooding and sea level rise vulnerabilities for 232 public housing units.
