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 to obtain final certificates of occupancy for multi-family rental units intended for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. The original purpose was single-family homes, but this has been amended to multi-family rental units. The extension pushes the deadline to July 29, 2028. Javon Gardens LLC is a joint venture between Building Better Communities and Pyramid Construction. The justification for the extension includes uncontrollable delays and financing difficulties for Building Better Communities. The Board desires to grant the extension and permit the transfer to Javon Gardens LLC due to the county's need for affordable rental housing.
