DOWNTOWN SOMI

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners deferred an ordinance to establish the Downtown SoMi Community Development District. The district is generally bounded by Harriet Tubman Highway (US 1) to the north, SW 57 Avenue (Red Road) to the east, SW 72 Street (Sunset Drive) to the south, and SW 58 Avenue to the west. The proposed development includes approximately 202,462 sq ft of retail space, 1,513 residential units, 287 hotel rooms, 65,892 sq ft of office space, a 1,300-seat movie theater, parking, roadway improvements, stormwater management, wastewater collection, and water distribution systems, with an estimated cost of $149M. The creation of the district will not have a fiscal impact on the County, as funding will come from assessments levied against properties within the district. The Board of County Commissioners adopted the ordinance on first reading on April 21, 2026, and it was deferred from the June 2, 2026 meeting to the July 21, 2026 meeting.
