Town Park Plaza North is amongst one of the oldest and largest multi-family housing developments located in Miami’s Overtown neighborhood. Built in 1973, the aging buildings, have suffered from years of deteriorating physical conditions evidenced by mold, structural cracks, and broken windows. To solve these problems, the CRA determined that Town Park Plaza North should be substantially rehabilitated to address code and structural deficiencies, improve livability and maintain affordability within the redevelopment area. The CRA has invested $15.3 million into the rehabilitation and renovation of the housing development. This major project includes the total gut rehabilitation of 169 condominium units, the design and construction of new water and sewer utilities, and site work across the entire complex.
