AMENDING DEED RE BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES

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

The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-675-26 (File Number 260583) on July 21, 2026, authorizing amended and restated county deeds to Building Better Communities of South Florida, Inc., allowing the conveyance of three previously conveyed county properties to its affiliate Javon Gardens LLC, and granting a two-year extension to July 29, 2028, to obtain final certificates of occupancy for multi-family rental units to be rented to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. The properties are located in County Commission District 9 and bear Folio Nos. 10-7813-050-0380, 30-5032-000-0370, and 30-5032-000-0380. The resolution was introduced on April 2, 2026, forwarded to the BCC with a favorable recommendation by the Housing Committee on June 9, 2026, and adopted on July 21, 2026. The original conveyance was authorized by Resolution R-440-19 on May 7, 2019, for five properties for single-family homes under the Infill Housing Program. Resolution R-132-22 on February 1, 2022, granted a two-year extension and allowed a sales price increase. Resolution R-124-24 on February 6, 2024, allowed construction of multi-family rental units on the three properties and extended the completion time by two years from recording of amended deeds, with that extension expiring July 29, 2026. Building Better Communities requested the further extension and transfer to Javon Gardens LLC, a joint venture with Pyramid Construction, citing uncontrollable delays including completion of surveys and inability to secure financing on its own. The resolution also authorizes the County Mayor to enforce the County's reversionary interest or accept a deed back to the County if deed restrictions are not complied with, and directs signage on the properties identifying the County's name and the district commissioner.
