What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A developer proposed The Gateway 2 project, which plans to replace the two-story Aventura Offices and Medical Center building with a 376-unit residential structure in unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The proposal utilizes the Live Local Act, a state law that allows for increased building density if 40 percent of units are designated as affordable housing, up to 120 percent of the area median income. The project was filed in July 2026.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project is part of a trend of redeveloping aging suburban office properties in South Florida, driven by an influx of businesses and migration to the region. The Live Local Act allows developers to unlock land value by converting older commercial sites into higher-density residential spaces, addressing regional housing demands.
