Enclosures: Public Notice — Intent to Dispose
4 Proposals received
On April 17, 2023, and in accordance with Florida Statutes 163.380(2) and 163.380(3)(a), the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") advertised via local newspaper and
SEOPW CRA website a Public Notice declaring its intent to dispose of property by means of a sub -lease of 4 units
of commercial space at Lyric Point, located at 101 NW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33128, more particularly described
as follows:
• 101 NW 8th Street, Unit 100 — General Commercial/Office space — 2,310 square feet
• 101 NW 8th Street, Unit 102 — General Commercial/Studio space — 1,040 square feet
• 115 NW 8th Street — Restaurant space — 2,696 square feet
• 113 NW 8th Street — General Commercial/Retail space — 954 square feet.
The Public Notice also indicated that the SEOPW CRA would seek to prioritize disposal of these units to existing
and operational Overtown small businesses.
Proposals were accepted over the course of a 30-day period ending May 15, 2023, and a total of 4 proposal were
received from the following entities:
• Lil GreenHouse Grill, LLC, with interest in the space at 115 NW 8th Street
• Italian Vice LLC with interest in the space at 113 NW 8th Street
• TDG Sports & Entertainment, LLC with interest in the space at 115 NW 8th Street or the space at 101 NW
8th Street, Unit 100
• Jitter Flix LLC with interest in the space at 101 NW 8th Street, Unit 102
A preliminary review of the entities and the proposed concepts reveals that most currently operate in the Overtown
area or have an established Overtown clientele, and could be successful in their ventures, while contributing
beneficially to the Redevelopment Area.
Considering that the responses almost uniquely align with the number and type of available spaces, it is my
recommendation that we meet individually with all 4 proposers to gain more detail on their current business
operations and proposed concepts. A copy of the Public Notice and the 4 proposals is attached for your
use/review.
