The restoration of Opa-locka’s Company Administration Building, once used as a city hall, is nearing its completion.
The building, whose Arabian-style minarets and pink domes symbolize Opa-locka, is expected to be finished by mid-fall. For the first time since 1940, when the city took ownership from the Opa-Locka company, the historic site will operate as a cultural and community center, representing the city’s heartbeat as it was always intended to.
On April 26, 2023, the city commission voted unanimously to approve the restoration of the former City Hall, the city’s most unique Moorish Revival icon, located at 777 Sharazad Blvd. The project cost $1.6 million, paid for by the city’s own $500,000 contribution, a $600,000 community block grant, and a $500,000 cultural grant. According to city officials, the money was well worth it.
