AMENDING DEED RE BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commission is authorizing the execution of amended and restated county deeds to Building Better Communities of South Florida, Inc. This action allows for the conveyance of previously conveyed county properties to its affiliate, Javon Gardens LLC. A key component is granting a two-year extension for obtaining final certificates of occupancy for multi-family rental units intended for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. The original plan was for single-family homes, but this has been amended to multi-family rental units. The extension pushes the deadline to July 29, 2028. The justification for the extension includes uncontrollable delays and the inability of Building Better Communities to secure financing independently, leading to the transfer to Javon Gardens LLC, a joint venture with Pyramid Construction. The Board desires to grant this extension and permit the transfer due to the county's need for affordable rental housing.
