Miami’s oldest and historic Black neighborhood is now home to one of the largest mixed-income transit-oriented developments in Miami-Dade County.
County and city of Miami officials as well as project partners ushered in the new Atlantic Square, a 36-story tower which yields 616 apartment units including 320 for workforce units and 40 for affordable housing, during a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The 25,000 square feet ground-floor retail and restaurant space project is located at 777 N.W. 2nd Avenue in Overtown, and within walking distance of Miami-Dade transit services including Metrorail, Metro Mover and the Overtown Transit Village bus terminal.
The project also towers over the Historic Overtown Folklife Village, 819 N.W. 2nd Avenue, which is anchored by the Black Archives Lyric Theater.
The development was built and financed through a public-private partnership involving Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works, the city of Miami, and the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency.
