Purpose of Item:
A Resolution of the Miami City Commission, accepting the City Manager's
recommendation adopting the recommendation by CBRE to select the Nexus Riverside
site, located at 230 SW 3 ST, Miami, FL 33130 ("Nexus Site"), as the location for the
new City of Miami administrative building; authorizing the City Manager to finalize the
necessary agreements for the development of a new City administrative facility on the
Nexus Site, which agreements shall be subject to the review and approval of the City
Attorney and presented to the City Commission for final approval prior to execution;
further providing that the selection of the Nexus Site does not constitute an award or

Background of Item:
The City of Miami ("City") owns the riverfront property located at 444 SW 2nd Avenue,
Miami, Florida 33130, commonly known as the Miami Riverside Center ("MRC"). The
City is interested in developing a new City administrative facility to accommodate the
increasing number of the City's administrative employees and meet the growing needs
of the City's residents. On February 2, 2016 the City issued a competitive solicitation,
inclusive of Offering Memorandum No. 15-16-008 ("OM") for the sale/lease of the MRC,
and Request for Proposals No. 15-16-009 ("RFP") for the development of a new City
administrative facility (collectively the "OM & RFP").
The City Commission approved the City Manager's and Selection Committee's
recommendation to select the top -ranked bidder, Lancelot Miami River, LLC, an affiliate
of Adler Group ("Lancelot") by Resolution No. R-16-0611 on December 8, 2016. On
July 26, 2018, the City Commission approved the ballot language for the MRC sale and
development of a new administrative facility by Resolution No. R-18-0324. Together
with the ballot language, the Commission also directed the City Manager to review all
City -owned properties and prepare an analysis and report for the most ideal site upon
which the new facility may be located; and
On November 6, 2018, the lease/sale of the MRC was approved by the electorate. The
City and CBRE prepared a site selection analysis considering the various sites available
for the new administrative building, including the property immediately adjacent to the
north of the MRC, located at 230 SW 3 ST, Miami, Florida 33130 ("Nexus Site").
The Nexus Site provides substantial benefits, including, but not limited to, the site's
centralized downtown location, adjacency to major thoroughfares and proximity to public
transportation, ease of access, familiarity to employees and residents, long term
property value appreciation, least amount of risk for land availability and fastest delivery
of development. A final decision concerning the site location is necessary for the City to
negotiate and finalize the corresponding agreements and bring the same before City
Commission for approval; and
