The Economic Impact Study is included under Tab O. (c) A housing impact assessment, In recent years there has been a strong demand for urban housing in the City of Miami. It is clear that people are moving from the suburbs back to the inner city and its surrounding areas. This has created a shortage of multi -family housing along with an upward surge of housing prices. Contrastingly, the costs of construction have not kept pace with these increases, which has made it economically affordable to construct new buildings for sale. Chanticleer will provide a variety of additional housing with a range of prices to satisfy the demand for new condominiums as well as retail and of office space in the East Little Havana area of the City of Miami.
