  • Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County : Tequesta
    Some Pre-Boom Developers of Dade County By ADAM G. ADAMS The great land boom in Florida was centered in 1925. Since that time much has been written about the more colorful participants in developments leading to the climax. John S. Collins, the Lummus brothers and Carl Fisher at Miami Beach and George E. Merrick at Coral Gables, have had much well deserved attention. Many others whose names were household words before and during the boom are now all but forgotten. This is an effort, necessarily limited, to give a brief description of the times and to recall the names of a few of those less prominent, withal important develop- ers of Dade County. It seems strange now that South Florida was so long in being discovered. The great migration westward which went on for most of the 19th Century in the United States had done little to change the Southeast. The cities along the coast, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mobile and New Orleans were very old communities. They had been settled for a hundred years or more. These old communities were still struggling to overcome the domination of an economy controlled by the North. By the turn of the century Progressives were beginning to be heard, those who were rebelling against the alleged strangle hold the Corporations had on the People. This struggle was vehement in Florida, including Dade County. Florida had almost been forgotten since the Seminole Wars. There were no roads penetrating the 350 miles to Miami. All traffic was through Jacksonville, by rail or water. There resided the big merchants, the promi- nent lawyers and the ruling politicians.

    I-95 at Broward Boulevard Interchange Broward County, Florida SR-9/I-95@SR 842/Broward Boulevard from West of SW 24 Avenue to East of NW/SW 18 Avenue Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study Financial Project ID Number: 435513-1-22-02 Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) No.: 14226 FDOT District 4 Public Kick-Off Meeting – Wednesday, November 9, 2016 The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Four, has initiated a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for State Road 9/Interstate 95 (I-95) at SR 842/Broward Boulevard from west of SW 24 Avenue to east of NW/SW 18 Avenue and on I-95 from north of Davie Boulevard to south of Sunrise Boulevard. PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED The primary purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate design concepts to improve traffic flow to and from I-95 and along Broward Boulevard, connectivity between the I-95 Express Lanes and Broward Boulevard, and intermodal connectivity. More efficient connections between the I-95 Express Lanes and Broward Boulevard, as well as the surrounding intermodal facilities, are desired. The proposed improvements will address automobile, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian modes and will ensure the study area continues to meet mobility and safety goals as travel demand continues to grow. The primary need for this project is to reduce traffic congestion, provide additional system connections, and plan for the long-term multi-modal options of the Broward Blvd. Park and Ride Lot and Transit Station. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT FDOT has implemented a public involvement program that began in September 2016 as a part of this PD&E Study.

Wynwood Development Table of Contents 03 Project Overview 15 Conceptual Drawings 17 Location 20 Demographics 23 Site Plan 26 Building Efficiency 29 RelatedISG Project Overview Project This featured property is centrally located in one of Miami’s hottest and trendiest neighborhood, Wynwood. The 60,238 SF site offers the unique possibility to develop one of South Florida’s most ground-breaking projects. There has only been a select amount of land deals in the past few years available in this neighborhood, and it is not common to find anything over 20,000 SF on average. With its desirable size and mixed use zoning, one can develop over 300 units with a retail component. Wynwood has experienced some of the highest rental rates of any area of South Florida, exceeding $3 per SF, and retail rates exceeding $100 SF. As the area continues to grow and evolve into a world renowned destination, it is forecasted that both residential and retail rental rates will keep increasing. Major landmark projects such as the Florida Brightline and Society Wynwood, as well as major groups such as Goldman Sachs, Zafra Bank, Thor Equity and Related Group investing here, it is positioned to keep growing at an unprecedented rate.

  • The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element
    The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element prepared for the Florida Department of Transportation prepared by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. With support from Planning Innovations, Inc Quandel Consultants December 2010 Florida Department of Transportation CHARLIE CRIST " STEPHANIE C. KOPELOUSOS 605 Suwannee Street GOVERNOR Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 SECRETARY December 14, 2010 Citizens of Florida: I am pleased to submit to you the Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan. Unlike in past years, where the Florida Rail System Plan was more descriptive of the separate freight and passenger rail systems, this plan is more visionary, strategic, and policy-driven. The plan was guided by a broad base of stakeholders, including the Rail Stakeholder Advisory Committee, members of the public and private sectors, modes of transportation, economic development and environmental interests, and citizen representatives. The Committee and others worked throughout the summer and fall of 2009 to develop an inventory of Florida's rail system needs and recommend priority investments that support the strategic goals, objectives, and policies of the Florida Rail System Plan. The Florida Rail System Plan is comprised of a Policy Element and this document, the Investment Element. The Policy Element provides a broad policy framework for the investment of limited state resources in Florida's rail system. The Investment Element builds upon the framework of the Policy Element by identifying the needs of Florida's rail system, establishing priorities for the investment of state funds, and setting forth future action steps necessary to implement the plan. Florida in the year 2030 will be shaped by the actions, decisions, and policy choices made today.
