Early this week in Florida saw some interesting news come out of Miami Beach. Meanwhile, Pompano Beach saw something that hasn't happened in Broward County in 15 years.

BY THE NUMBERS

Rental completions will reach a 15-year high in Tampa Bay this year, nudging vacancy up. The largest portion of the new units are in Central Tampa where a number of mixed-use redevelopment projects are adding multifamily rentals. The submarket will receive roughly 4,200 apartments by the end of 2018. Additional apartments are set to begin construction next year in the 53-acre development on Old Water Street. Dubbed Water Street, the mixed-use district will transform underutilized land along the waterfront into 3,500 residences, several office buildings and two new hotels over the next decade.

MIAMI—Avison Young's Florida Capital Markets Group along with Bezold Realty have been exclusively tapped to market and sell a 15.56-acre development site with potential to develop approximately 5 million square feet of office, residential, retail, and hospitality product located at 4929 Second Avenue in Miami. The land parcel represents a rare opportunity to own an iconic site that has been held by the Archdiocese of Miami as the former home to the Archbishop Curley-Notre Dame High School. Avison Young principals David Duckworth, John K. Crotty, and Michael T. Fay will lead the marketing and disposition of the property on behalf of the seller. “Although tremendous attention has been driven by the surrounding development in Wynwood and Design District, the area still remains in the early stages of a dynamic transformation,” says Duckworth. “The need for a true mixed-use development is of high demand, and as such, we are confident this distinctive property will garner incredible interest.”
