Is Florida’s Live Local Act making a difference?

[Altoic]

My main bone to pick with these developments is the parking ratio. If it's affordable, it should also aim for lowering rents by keeping a parking ratio at 1:1 or below. But I'm excited to see some new density, especially given this housing market.

Keep in mind that most of the buildings in Wynwood have graffiti art on them so it’s not like it would stand out in that way, just size of building.

Same. The graffiti art seems gimmicky and will age out very fast.

Holy shit. The development springing up because of this act is Chinese-level.

This just got proposed and I haven't made a thread yet. There's 3,236 units (40% workforce which means 1294 units), 57,260 SF of retail space, 4,249 parking spaces (although the live local act only requires 229 parking spaces).

There's 6 towers with the tallest being 37 floors and the shortest is 26 floors.







The towers are super close to single family residential which should ring some alarm bells for upcoming legal battles.

3,200-unit project in West Little River marks Miami-Dade’s biggest Live Local Act proposal
Application shows six towers, ranging from 26 stories to 37 stories

https://therealdeal.com/miami/2024/0...l-act-project/

A developer wants to build a 3,233-unit Live Local Act project in West Little River, marking the largest proposal under the affordable housing legislation in Miami-Dade County and likely all of South Florida.

The proposal is for six towers reaching up to 37 stories on an 11.7-acre site at 8400 Northwest 25th Avenue in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, according to an application filed to the county on Monday. Dubbed as Holland Park, the development is designed by Arquitectonica. It also carries the label The HueHub on renderings. ..

The scale harkens back to Soviet-era bloc housing. The redundancy is really quite lazy especially for Arquitectonia.

The housing is much needed. We need more of that. Sometimes quality must suffer to make housing affordable to the masses.

If we had more 3200 unit, multi-tower developments like that, in every metro, on a large scale, we'd see the housing that people need finally see realization.

Exactly. We have a generation facing homelessness while wealth is consolidated into the hands of few. I'm all for good architecture and urban design, but cities have been more focused on exclusionary zoning.

At first I thought this article was going to be way off, but I like the specific example regarding downtown Tampa now being off limits.
