Plans to build approximately 5,700 affordable and workforce housing units in Miami took a big leap forward.

The Miami-Dade County Commission has granted final approval for SG Holdings’ Little River District, a transformative $3 billion, mixed-use development in Miami’s underserved Little River and Little Haiti neighborhoods.

The large-scale project will also include major big-box retail stores, small businesses, a major grocery operator, green public space, and transit infrastructure with the addition of a new train station, marking a historic investment in Miami’s future.

SG Holdings is a joint venture comprised of Swerdlow Group, SJM Partners, and Alben Duffie. The partnership recently delivered the Sawyer’s Walk development, featuring 578 affordable senior housing units in Miami’s historic Overtown neighborhood.
