AMENDING DEED RE BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES

Housing Committee · 2026-06-09 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners 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 aspect 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 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 is also authorizing the County Mayor or designee to take necessary actions, including exercising reversionary interests or accepting deeds back to the County if deed restrictions are not met.
