Background of Item:
The City of Miami ("City") owns the riverfront property located at 444 and 460 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
for the OM & RFP, 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 together with a term sheet for the
ground lease of the MRC by Resolution No. R-18-0324. On November 6, 2018, the
disposition of the MRC was approved by the electorate.
The City has finalized negotiations of the terms for the MRC disposition with Lancelot
and prepared an agreement and lease ("MRC Lease"). The MRC Lease provides for a
privately -funded mixed -use riverfront development, an enhanced public Riverwalk and
other public amenities. Annual rent shall be equal to three million six hundred and
twenty thousand dollars ($3,620,000), which will increase in the sixth (6th) lease year to
the greater of three million six hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($3,620,000),
increasing one and one-half percent (1.5%) annually thereafter, or three percent (3%) of
gross revenues. The MRC Lease further provides an option to purchase for sixty-nine
million four hundred thousand dollars ($69,400,000), a two percent (2%) capital
transaction fee, and other terms and conditions more particularly described in the MRC
Lease.
