Integra Investments is moving forward with the redevelopment of a portion of Annie Coleman 14, a public housing community featuring 60 residences in Brownsville, Miami-Dade. Located at 2101 NW 52 Street, the property entered a Work Order Proposal Request on August 10th, 2023, whereas Miami-Dade essentially called for qualified developers to redevelop the site into mixed-income housing. Integra Investments was the sole bidder, and is now proposing the development of 316 units, of which 60 will replace the existing units built on-site.
More specifically, the 316 residential units will be divided between 156 one-bedroom, 92 two-bedroom, 40 three-bedroom, and 28 four-bedroom apartments. Of these, units are designated across four income levels: 20% of units at 120% AMI, 18% at 80% AMI, 50% at 60% AMI, and 12% at 30% AMI, ensuring a broad range of income levels. Additionally, the project will include commercial space, a food hall, and 371 parking spaces.
Residents will benefit from a variety of on-site amenities and community enhancements, such as a playground, covered outdoor patio, fitness center, laundry facilities, community room, and an on-site police workstation. Returning residents occupying the 60 replacement units will also receive 3 years of free high-speed internet.
The redevelopment, designed by Lantz Boggio Architects, will consist of a six-story building accented with murals along its facade. Landscaped greenery will compliment both the street and the structure, while walk-up units along NW 21st Avenue will create a more welcoming pedestrian realm.
As part of the redevelopment, Miami-Dade County stands to receive over $136 million through a combination of financial agreements, including a Master Development Agreement and a 99-year ground lease with Integra. This revenue includes capitalized ground lease payments, annual rent, developer fees, and a percentage of the project’s net cash flow. From the developer fees, 5% will be directed to the Brownsville Civic Neighborhood Association, while 10% of both net cash flow and residual profits will support the Brownsville Historic Endowment for the Curation of Public Art.
The Housing Committee unanimously approved the resolution to award development rights to Integra, with final approval now pending from the Board of County Commissioners. The project is expected to close in late 2027, requiring Miami-Dade County to provide a solution such as interim housing support for displaced residents during the redevelopment period.
