The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Miami Beach
announces an exciting opportunity for a coordinated public/
private infill residential development project in the heart of
South Pointe, an area with strong revitalization potential .
The Agency intends to assemble a two-block site and clear it
for eventual development. A significant portion of the site is
already owned by the City of Miami Beach and will be conveyed to
the Agency. The balance of the land, in private hands, is to be
acquired by the Redevelopment Agency.
The Redevelopment Agency is seeking a qualified developer
who will purchase or lease the site from the Agency for the
purposes of constructing and marketing a new mixed-use project
with emphasis on medium-density residential units. This project
is expected to provide affordable and attractively-designed
housing to a younger, more affluent Miami Beach resident. As
such, it will complement and support other development projects
already underway or contemplated for the area.
It is anticipated that this project will function as a
strong catalyst for nearby property owners to upgrade their
buildings or to make their parcels available for new development.
The project plays an extremely important role in the Agency's
plans for revitalizing this area as nearby blighted areas could
be quickly eliminated through this process.
Being committed to the project's implementation, the
Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency int- • - - standard of
market and design excellence as Mia • Beach usher. ". new
beginning" into the next decade.

I. SUMMARY
The Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency is seeking proposals from
qualified developers interested in creating a new, mixed use,
secured infill residential environment on a site located in the
South Pointe Redevelopment Area, within the City of Miami Beach.
This project, to consist primarily of new medium-density
townhouse residential units plus ancillary commercial space, is
intended to complement existing public and private development
activity already underway in the South Pointe Redevelopment
Area. A significant portion of the two-block site is in public
ownership, in particular the area until recently occupied by the
old police station.
The Redevelopment Agency will acquire privately-owned parcels
within blocks 78 and 80 of Ocean Beach Addition No. 3 subdivision
and will assemble these parcels, together with city-owned
property into a 5.2-acre development site. The intention is for
the Agency to then convey and/or lease the site to a selected
developer under financial and planning conditions which will
allow the construction of residential units both marketable and
affordable.
II. THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
The Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency was created in 1973 pursuant
to Florida Statute 163 . 330, the Community Redevelopment Act of
1969 . Under this Act, the Agency is empowered to designate
certain slum and blighted neighborhoods as redevelopment areas
and undertake the necessary efforts to redevelop them according
to approved plans. South Pointe is the only designated community
redevelopment area within the City of Miami Beach.
The Agency, either by itself or through the City of Miami Beach,
has several tools at its disposal to expedite redevelopment
efforts in designated areas, including though not limited to:
- Deeding publicly-owned lands to designated projects.
- Development of support infrastructure; acquisition of
private property through eminent domain.
- Utilization of tax increment revenue streams to finance part
or all of the land acquisition program, infrastructure, open
space and other development phases.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. THE SOUTH POINTE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
1. Historical Perspective
The South Pointe Redevelopment Area comprises all of the land
area south of Sixth Street within the City of Miami Beach.
It is the oldest developed area in the city, hailing its
beginnings to the time Miami Beach was becoming established as a
tourist resort. Its 59 blocks in 255 acres are small and platted
in a grid system. The majority of buildings were constructed as
three-story apartments , hotels or rooming houses with units
ranging in size from 150-400 square feet. With densities over 100
units per acre, the area is over developed; there is little open
space and only on-street parking is generally available.
It is an area in rapid transition. Surrounded by water on three
sides, with excellent transportation to the airport and downtown
Miami, and showing growing signs of vitality, this area should
boast some of the most valuable real estate anywhere in South
Florida; yet its wonderful amenities co-exist with substandard
housing and other deteriorated conditions.
2 . "A New Beginning"
•
In 1983 the City of Miami Beach approved 'the South Shore
Revitalization Strategy. The South Pointe Performance Standards
Zoning Ordinance was adopted on September 5, 1984.
These complementary regulations currently in effect are geared to
encourage the assembly of land parcels and to encourage private
developers to construct new or to renovate existing structures in
a planned, orderly fashion on larger, assembled lots.
The emphasis has been on promoting private development through
the expenditure of public funds on infrastructure and public
facility development. At the same time, the City of Miami Beach
has undertaken a dynamic economic and community development
program to promote investment in the area by applying a number of
programs geared to expedite bona-fide projects through the
approval process, by assisting in assembling parcels and by
coordinating overall development efforts . Public sector
investment activities have focused on a number of major projects
already completed or well under-way:
- The beachfront along the eastern side of the area has been
renourished and widened to 300 feet.
- South Pointe Park, on the southern end, includes 20 acres of
attractively-developed parkland bordering on Government Cut
and the Atlantic Ocean. Many popular events are continuously
scheduled and attended by thousands of people from all over
Dade County.

REGIONAL LOCATION MAP
- Miami Beach Marina on the west side of the area, bordering
the Biscayne Aquatic Preserve, is one of the largest, most
modern pleasure boat marinas in Florida.
- The widening and beautification of Alton Road and Biscayne
Street now provides attractive and safe access to the area
from Miami and parts of Miami Beach to the north.
- Future re-opening of South Beach Elementary School on
expanded grounds is expected to provide incentives to young
families to relocate to the area.
- Enforcement drives are being carried out to bring
deteriorated buildings up to code and to close down and
eventually demolish structures unable to meet building code,
fire safety and property maintenance standards.
- A study is underway to determine the feasibility of building
and operating a trolley line connecting parts of Miami
Beach, including the Convention Center and major hotels,
with Miami. This transit line is expected to serve major
portions of the South Pointe area.
Negotiations are, underway with private owners of a few
remaining large vacant or under-utilized parcels to
encourage development in keeping with the South Shore
Revitalization Strategy guidelines.
- Studies are underway to determine demand for parking, to be
followed by construction of the required facilities.
These activities have succeeded in attracting significant private
sector investment, as evidenced, among others, by:
- South Pointe Towers, a new luxury high-rise project .
Ultimate plans call for four towers featuring 1 , 200
condominium units, plus a 500-room hotel and a private club.
Phase I, consisting of a tower with 208 condominium units
($22 million investment in addition to land costs) is
already built; a large number of units have been sold and
owners have already moved in.
- Complete outfitting and operations of the Miami Beach
Marina , a facility which consists of 400 slips , marine
support facilities and over 30, 000 square feet of marine-
related retail and office building.
- The new Crawdaddy's restaurant in South Pointe Park, a $1. 7
million investment.
- Renovation of the old MacArthur Hotel on Fifth Street into
Deco Plaza as a residential/commercial mixed-use facility.

- Joe's Stone Crab, a world-class restaurant, has recently
completed dining, take-out and parking facility expansion
plans to accommodate its thousands of patrons every season.
- "Woody's on the Beach" , a beach club, night club and art
gallery owned by Ron Wood, lead guitarist of the Rolling
Stones, recently held its grand opening at the site of the
old Arlington Hotel on Collins and 5th Street.
- Penrod's restaurant, along Ocean Drive on the beach, is
currently under construction and is expected to represent a
$2 . 0 million investment.
There are obvious signs of strong real estate buying and selling
activity in the area, with many investors attempting to assemble
smaller lots into larger parcels which would meet minimum zoning
and building requirements.
This is similar in nature to what has been taking place over the
past two years in the Art Deco District immediately to the north,
where numerous hotels and residential apartment buildings have
been completely renovated and currently enjoy strong patronage
support. Complementing private efforts, the City of Miami Beach
has recently inaugurated a brand new Police Station and Courts
facility, completely renovated the Old City Hall into an
attractively-designed office building preserving its historic
architectural qualities, undertaken park expansion and renovation
in Lummus Park on the oceanfront, and will soon be widening and
improving Ocean Drive for better pedestrian and vehicular access
and circulation. Additionally, the $80 million expansion of the
Miami Beach Convention Center is nearing completion.
The proposed residential development should be viewed as only one
element of an integrated chain of projects which together will
create a new desirable and dynamic South Pointe developed to meet
the highest quality of life standards.
B. THE SITE
1. Location and Access
The subject site is located on the fringe of the existing
residential core of the South Pointe Redevelopment area. The
adjacent block to the south, which is being considered for
municipal parking, is currently occupied by warehousing and food
distributors. The remaining surrounding blocks consist of single
family, small ,. low-rise multi-family units , and neighborhood
commercial facilities.
Regional access to the South Pointe Redevelopment Area and to the
site is provided by:
- MacArthur Causeway (Fifth Street) , a four lane highway directly
linking Miami Beach over Biscayne Bay to downtown Miami, I-95
and the Greater Miami Area.

D. DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS
The project is to be designed as a distinctive product to
specifically suit the characteristics of the site and the new
development thrust of South Pointe . It should demonstrate
excellence in architecture, building system and planning, as well
as creativity in matching the product to the perceived and
desired market segments to which this project will appeal.
Design and market standards have been established - as a guide by
Agency staff in conjunction with the Rediscover Miami Beach
Housing Sub Committee. They are subject to established Design
Guidelines for South Pointe, as referenced in the Zoning
Ordinances of Miami Beach.
1. Market Orientation
The concept calls for a quality mixed-use residential
development. The project should contain a strong for-sale
component, as investment by individual residents is a key
component of the South Pointe revitalization strategy and a
primary City of Miami Beach objective for this project. A minimum
of 60% of the units will be for-sale.
- Units offered for sale should emphasize townhouse and split-
level units priced initially at or below $80,, 000 per unit to
appeal typically to downtown-oriented level executives and
professionals currently living in suburban areas. Units would
range between 900 and 1,400 sq. ft. (average 1, 100 sq. ft. ) of
living space; larger units can be offered later.
- Rental units should range from studio apartments renting below
$500/month, to 2 bedroom-2 bath apartments in the $750/month
range. Average size is 750 sq. ft. of living space per unit.
- The extent and amount of commercial development is left open.
Developers must consider that other commercial space is being
created in other South Pointe areas . The concept of
residential-over-retail uses may prove successful as the
project and area mature, though not necessarily during the
initial phases of this project.
2 . Design Standards and Development Scope
The development plans and detailed design shall generally conform
to the standards contained in the South Shore Revitalization
Strategy and existing zoning for the area.
The site is to be developed with a Floor-to-Area (F.A.R. ) range
of 0.75 to 1.25; this will result in a a minimum of 150 and a
maximum of 250 residential units. The preferred concept is a
F.A.R. of 1. 0, resulting in approximately 200 units average about
1, 000 sq. ft. of living space per dwelling.
13
Given the nature of the site and neighborhood, emphasis should be
placed on several design aspects which will jointly lead to
positive perceptions of security, vitality and neighborliness,
all very important elements to the success of South Pointe.
A successful site design will provide for a proper balance
between the following elements:
- Architecture: The development shall be of high quality.
Design should be original and uniquely urban, reflecting
however the site's beach- and water-oriented location and
especially the unique design characteristics of Miami
Beach's Art Deco and Mediterranean building styles.
-- Building materials and fixtures shall be of the highest
quality within given market constraints.
-- Facades shall be varied both horizontally and vertically.
-- Maximum building height shall not exceed 60 feet above
ground or above enclosed parking.
-- Flat planes shall be minimized or otherwise designed to
create visual interest.
-- The roof profile should be varied to enhance the
architectural character of the structures and add
interest to the roofline.
-- Design of units on upper floors should take advantage of
the roof volume to provide opportunities, for lofts or
cathedral ceilings.
-- Cross-ventilation patterns should be maximized to take
advantage of natural air circulation, thus minimizing the
need for air conditioning.
-- Design of open spaces, including courtyards and terraces
should take into consideration local climatic conditions.
- Views : Project components shall have a strong view
orientation, particularly to South Pointe Towers and to the
Marina.
- Access, Internal Circulation and Landscaping: Considering
the infill nature of the site and the changing nature of the
neighborhood, the main entrance (and other access to the
site, if provided) should be closely linked to positive
aspects of the South Pointe area, in particular the Marina.
Vehicular and pedestrian circulation within the site, as
well as its landscaping, should enhance a feeling of
neighborhood and informal elegance.
The landscape should be predominantly hardscape,
architectural in quality, utilize locally-available trees
and plants and bear a close relationship to the parking
scheme adopted for the site.
14
- Parking: Resident and visitor parking should be achieved
through a combination of enclosed structure and open surface
parking. Parking at or below grade shall be buffered by
berms and other landscaping elements . Given intended
densities and cost parameters, a design integrating
structured parking below grade with residential units above
would provide desirable solutions.
- Security: Overall site design must take into consideration
the need to provide adequate security for future residents.
This can be accomplished through a combination of external
walls, landscaping, 24-hour gated security, enhanced street
lighting and built-in alarm systems.
- Densities: It is envisioned that for-sale units will
emphasize medium-density townhouse development, while rental
units could sustain somewhat higher densities.
- Amenities: The type of resident to be attracted to this
development will demand certain activity-oriented amenities
on-site (clubhouse, pool , sun deck, tennis, fitness
facility, etc. ) . These amenities should complement those
already available or planned for South Pointe, particularly
at the Park and on the Marina.
Aesthetics, density, structural durability, parking systems ,
energy efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements are
elements that should meet the highest of standards.
It is noted that the eventual design for the project will be
subject to review and approval by the City of Miami Beach's
Design Review Board.
3 . Applicable Zoning
The current zoning on this site combines R-PS1 and R-PS2 ,
residential low-medium density with MU or Municipal Use. After
conveyance of the city-owned property to the Redevelopment
Agency, the Agency intends to apply to the City of Miami Beach's
Commission and Planning Board for a zoning change to R-PS2 for
the parcels currently zoned MU.
Pertinent performance standards for R-PS1, R-PS2 and other zoning
can be reviewed within the City of Miami Beach Zoning Ordinance,
available on request.
It is noted that in case the project's proposed design is not
consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, it will be the developer's
responsibility to obtain variances from the City of Miami Beach's
Board of Adjustment.

ZONING MAP
E. INTENDED REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PARTICIPATION
Participation by the Redevelopment Agency of Miami Beach may
consist of, but not necessarily be limited to:
- Acquiring privately-owned parcels within the site. Using
powers of eminent domain in cases where negotiations with
property owners fail to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
- Conveying or leasing assembled land to a qualified developer.
- Demolishing existing structures.
- Relocating existing residents and commercial facilities.
- Coordinating with the City of Miami Beach for the provision of
off-site improvements.
- Issuing tax-increment revenue bonds for the purpose of
financing the acquisition of land, demolition of existing
structures, relocation and provision of off-site improvements.
- Applying development financial assistance programs, when
available.
1. Disposition of Municipally-Owned Land
The Redevelopment Agency will own the 92 , 356 sq. ft. of land
comprised by the parcels previously occupied by the old Police
Station. In turn, the Redevelopment Agency will sell or lease
this land to the selected developer at a price calculated to make
the whole two-block parcel suitable for development.
2 . Acquisition and Assembly of Privately-Owned Parcels
The Redevelopment Agency will negotiate with private property
owners for the purchase of their property on the basis of fair
market value.
Eminent domain is one of the tools available to the Agency to
implement designated redevelopment projects . Under Florida
Statutes 163 . 375 and 163 . 380, the Agency is empowered to acquire
property and structures and to dispose such to private interests.
The powers of eminent domain may be applied in cases where good-
faith negotiations fail to reach the necessary agreements.
3 . Site Assembly and Conveyance
The Redevelopment Agency will assemble all acquired land into a
single development site. Upon negotiation of all applicable
agreements, the Redevelopment Agency will convey title to the
selected developer.
4 . Demolition of Existing Structures and Site Preparation
Procedures and related costs of demolishing existing structures
will be part of the negotiations between the Agency and the
selected developer.
17
5. Relocation
According to the South Shore Revitalization Strategy adopted by
the City of Miami Beach (Ordinance 84-2403, February 1, 1984) ,
"the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency shall be responsible for
providing necessary relocation services and assistance to those
displaced by redevelopment in the project area. " On June 17 ,
1987, the City of Miami Beach adopted a resolution specifying
that any resident having lived in a given unit continuously for
at least 180 consecutive days prior to the date that the need for
displacement is determined by the City and who is current in the
rental payments, is entitled to relocation assistance.
Costs related to the relocation of individuals and businesses in
accordance with City of Miami Beach and Redevelopment Agency
policies will be part of the negotiations between the Agency and
the selected developer.
6. Provision of Off-Site Public Improvements
The Redevelopment Agency will assist in obtaining certain off-
site improvements from the City of Miami Beach including but not
limited to: traffic control and signalization, sidewalks ,
landscaping and the provision of water, sewer and electricity to
the site.
Specific determination of the project's public improvement
components will be part of contract negotiations with the
selected developer.
7 . Tax Increment Financing
The Agency is empowered to issue tax increment revenue bonds to
finance part or all of the land acquisition program, public
infrastructure improvements, rehabilitation and new construction,
as well as other acceptable public improvements, as enabled under
Florida Statutes 163 . 385 through 163 . 395.
The mechanics of tax increment financing are predicated on the
fact that blighted areas in need of redevelopment usually start
with extremely low property tax bases and that, as redevelopment
gradually takes hold, the tax base expands accordingly.
The annual incremental increase in ad valorem taxes on real
property in the entire redevelopment area, except for that
portion allocated to school districts, is placed in a
redevelopment trust fund for use in financing specified
redevelopment activities.
It is expected that in order to finance private land acquisition
and site preparation costs, the Redevelopment Agency will set up
a Land Acquisition Fund supported by Tax Increment Revenue Bonds
backed by anticipated tax increment revenues from the project as
well as from the South Pointe Redevelopment Area as a whole.
18
8 . Financial Assistance Programs
It is expected that only developers who have exhibited the
financial capability of packaging the entire project will respond
to this proposal. Proposers may, at their discretion, apply for
one or more of the public financial assistance programs discussed
below. However, the Redevelopment Agency does not make any
representation that such funding may be available, nor should
proposals be contingent upon the availability of such funding.
The South Pointe Redevelopment Area is located within Miami
Beach' s only Enterprise Zone. Under Florida law, a locally
designated Enterprise Zone is eligible for a variety of tax
incentive programs benefiting corporations paying State taxes,
including:
- State corporate income tax credit equal to 96% of all ad
valorem taxes;
- Enterprise Zone jobs credit;
- 50% State corporate income tax for donations made to
sponsors of community redevelopment projects;
- Sales tax exemption on business property and building
materials;
- 50% exemption from municipal tax on electricity and on
occupational license fees.
Other assistance programs may be available on a limited basis.
Interested developers may inquire on the applicability and
funding status of these programs, which include:
- Interim Finance Program, City of Miami Beach Community
Development Block Grant Program.
- Dade County Surtax Program for financing low- and medium-income
housing (available to local developers and community
development corporations) .
- Miami Beach Development Corporation State Loan Program.
- Housing Development Action Grant (HODAG) Program.
- Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) Program
F. INTENDED DEVELOPER PARTICIPATION
Developer participation will consist of the following elements:
1. Purchase or lease the site at an agreed-upon price.
2 . Financially assist the Redevelopment Agency in demolishing
existing structures on the site, relocating residents
and/or business currently located on the site, and
providing the necessary off-site improvements.
3 . Assume total responsibility for designing, financing,
constructing and marketing the project.
19
It is noted that the selected developer is expected to provide
the Redevelopment Agency of Miami Beach with clear proof of his
team's ability to complete the development project, as planned
and scheduled. Proposers will be required to provide and post the
necessary "performance guarantees" upon his eventual selection,

- Alton Road, Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue and Ocean Drive,
all major north/south thoroughfares through Miami Beach. Alton
Road, paralleling the site's western boundary, is the
designated entryway to the South Pointe Redevelopment Area.
The proposed Rail Transit System (trolley line) , linking Miami
Beach with Miami, is expected to be routed through 5th Street and
possibly through other parts of South Pointe.
The site is considered suitable as an interior infill residential
site. It consists of two full city blocks to be consolidated into
a single parcel of approximately 5.2 acres.
Specifically, it includes Blocks 80 and 78 of Ocean Beach
Addition No. 3 subdivision, plus inclusive public rights-of-way.
It is bounded by Alton Road, a major thoroughfare, by First
Street, a commercial street including a wide variety of food
purveyors, distributors and auto repair shops , and by
predominantly residential streets, such as Second St. , Meridian
Ave. and Jefferson Avenue. It faces the newly-developed Miami
Beach Marina and Biscayne Bay directly to the west while the
beach is four blocks to the east.
2 . Parcel Distribution and Ownership Patterns
The gross area of 5.21 acres is distributed as follows:
- Block 80 109, 500 sq. ft
Bounded by Jefferson Ave. (east) , Alton Rd.
(west) , First St. (south) and Second St. (north)
- Block 78 92 , 155
Bounded by Meridian Ave. (east) , Jefferson Ave.
(west) , First St. (south) , and Second St. (north)
- Jefferson Ave. between First and Second Streets25, 550
TOTAL LAND (5.21 acres) 227,205 sq. ft
The City of Miami Beach owns or controls a total of 92 , 356 sq. ft.
(40. 6% of the site) , including 54, 000 sq. ft. in platted land
mainly occupied by temporary parking facilities (formerly the old
police station) , as well as 38 , 356 sq. ft . in rights-of-way,
including streets and alleys.
The Agency has a commitment from the City of Miami Beach to
convey this property to the Agency and to vacate the interior
rights-of-way if a favorable proposal is received for the purpose
of implementing the project.
The balance, 135, 016 sq. ft. is currently in private hands and
must be acquired by the Redevelopment Agency and assembled into
single ownership before development continues as planned.

It is noted that a third city block (53) , bounded by Meridian and
Washington Avenues and by First and Second street, and adjacent
on the east to the designated redevelopment site, is considered
suitable for residential development of the type contemplated for
blocks 78 and 80. Should a developer deem it feasible to include
this additional block in later phases of the project, the
Redevelopment Agency will entertain such a proposal as an
alternative. However, the primary intent is to create the proper
conditions for development of the indicated two-block site.
C. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The South Pointe area has been recognized as having tremendous
development potential . Its proximity to the ocean, bay and
downtown Miami present an opportunity to provide attractive and
affordable new housing in a uniquely desirable urban setting.
In March 1985 , Halcyon Ltd. in conjunction with Freilich &
Leitner, consultants to the Redevelopment Agency, completed a
study on the Alton Road/Biscayne Street corridor which
recommended the Old Police Station as a suitable site for new
infill residential housing development marketable to young
families and professionals. Similar conclusions were reached by a
Residential Market Analysis of the entire South Pointe Area,
conducted by Goodkin Research Corporation in February 1985. */
The objectives of this project are:
- To create an exciting infill residential development with a
village-type atmosphere which will offer affordable and
secure ownership housing to residents while being sensitive
to the improving environment of South Pointe. The
recommended development concept includes a combination of
townhouses, stacked flats, amenities (pool , tennis ,
security, on-site parking, etc. ) and limited retail.
- To encourage maximum utilization of this strategic site
within sound density and design guidelines.
- To ensure that the site and buildings are planned, designed
and constructed as an architectural landmark of the highest
possible quality within existing market constraints.
- To reinforce the new development taking place in nearby
areas of South Pointe and the Art Deco District by providing
a sizable group of new residents capable of economically
supporting newly available facilities.
- To set a standard of excellence that will stimulate
rehabilitation and redevelopment on surrounding properties.
*/Copies of both of these studies, as well as other support material , are
available for review and/or purchase at nominal cost by interested developers .
