Florida’s development pipeline swelled on 10 July as four separate multifamily projects advanced in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Pinellas counties, underscoring continued demand for rental housing and the incentives offered by the state’s Live Local Act. In Miami, Midtown Capital Partners filed plans for a 22-story, 348-unit building on Northeast Second Avenue in Little River. The proposal, which will go before the city’s Urban Development Review Board on 16 July, sets aside 40 % of its apartments for households earning up to 120 % of area median income, meeting the Live Local Act’s workforce-housing threshold. Atlantic Pacific also submitted designs for 375 apartments in the second phase of its mixed-use complex next to the Culmer Metrorail Station, extending a cluster of transit-oriented projects rising around downtown. On the Gulf Coast, St. Pete-based Stadler Development lodged plans for a US$134 million, 20-story tower with 370 units, 3,819 sq ft of ground-floor retail and a 485-space garage. The project would replace seven 1920s-era apartment buildings within the city’s National Register Historic District, triggering a density-bonus request for additional height and floor-area ratio. Separately, an unnamed developer broke ground on a Lake Worth Beach complex after securing a US$22.5 million construction loan. The financing will support a mix of market-rate and workforce apartments, further illustrating lenders’ willingness to back multifamily deals despite higher borrowing costs.
