WTVJ-NBC 6 RELOCATION
PROJECT
- ,-,,J Honorable Arthur E. Teele Jr.
Chairman
Over the last couple of weeks, the CRA has been in discussion with a group of investors
interested in developing a communications and media campus in Southeast Overtown/Park West.
In its initial phase, the project anticipates housing NBC-6's news studios. Once completed, the
complex will also include a post -production facility and an entertainment destination that will
bring about in excess of $60 million in private investment into the Southeast Overtown/Park
West Redevelopment District, while providing training facilities and an estimated 600 job
opportunities.
The project will also generate much needed tax increment revenues for the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Trust Fund, which will alleviate the City's current financial obligations vis
a vis said project area. Additionally, the proposed project will see the Poinciana Village
Condominiums project to completion, since a requirement for final approval of enclosed
document and subsequent Lease Agreement will depend upon the City and CRA entering into
acceptable agreement with Indian River Investment Communities, Inc. (developer of Poinciana
Village) that will include a release of liability of the City and CRA and a completion schedule for
Poinciana Village. Furthermore, the new development team has also made a commitment to
implement an incubator project in the recording and entertainment field as well as other
programs that support and benefit the Overtown community and its residents in an amount not to
exceed $1.8 million dollars.
I cannot overstate the importance of this project for Overtown, Park West and the Downtown
area. Time is of the essence. In order to enable all parties to move forward, it is my suggestion
that the CRA Board consider the attached CRA resolution seeking the approval of the transfer
and sale of development rights for blocks 45, 55, and 56 to the new development team, subject to
certain conditions, as described therein.
Please note that this "conceptual approval" is not binding but is a "statement of agreement in
principle" therefore, prior to closing final approval for all transactions anticipated herein will
remain with the CRA Board and the City of Miami Commission, as appropriate.
