Developer Michael Swerdlow is moving forward with an affordable housing-retail project in Miami's Overtown neighborhood after a partial win in a lawsuit against him by a would-be site developer.

Swerdlow, CEO of Swerdlow Group, is set to start construction early next year on Sawyer's Landing with 578 affordable housing units including 85% reserved for residents 62 and older and a 251,000-square-foot retail segment anchored by Target.
