General Information
Pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 163.380(3)(a), the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency
("CRA") is declaring its intent to dispose of its interest in the referenced real property and is seeking proposals from private
redevelopers or any persons interested in undertaking to redevelop or rehabilitate the community redevelopment area or any
part thereof. All proposals must be consistent with the existing 1982 SEOPW Redevelopment Plan and should reflect the
guidelines recommended in the 2004 Amended Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan currently
pending approval by Miami -Dade County. Both plans are available at www.miami-cra.org. Mixed -use projects incorporating
mixed -income residential units, with an emphasis on architectural design and landscaping that acknowledge the culturally
historic neighborhood are preferred. Proposals should complement the uses associated with the historic Lyric Theater;
accommodate the parking needs of the neighborhood, including those of the Lyric Theater and the International
Longshoremen's Association Local 1416; and be consistent with the entertainment district contemplated by the proposed 2004
Amended Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan. The CRA will, however, consider all proposals.
All proposals must include a detailed description of the project, site plan and renderings, project schedule, background
information on the developer's proposed development team and development expertise, a list of all persons with an interest in
the development, and recommendations from the developer's recent clients. Proposals must also demonstrate the financial and

budget consisting of a detailed pro forma demonstrating sources and uses of funds, and a detailed statement of all financial
assistance needed from any source.
Respondents should be aware that the CRA will also be requesting proposals for Block 36 immediately to the south of Block
25. Proposers may bid on one, both, or a portion of the blocks. It is anticipated that the parking needs described above will

requested.
