2026 Redevelopment Plan Update
An amendment to the 2012 corridor plan — shifting from broad policy to implementation mechanics. Final · 06.30.26
The cultural, mobility & economic spine of North Miami-Dade
The update repositions NW 7th Avenue as a connected multimodal urban corridor linking the Golden Glades Interchange, Hard Rock Stadium, Downtown Miami, Opa-locka Executive Airport, jobs, transit, entertainment, and housing. Its guiding insight: the corridor “does not have a zoning problem — it has a redevelopment feasibility problem,” so the plan leads with implementation tools rather than wholesale rezoning.
1 · Establish a City Center 2 · Reposition as a cultural & entertainment spine 3 · Build a light-industrial + commercial-kitchen + workforce-incubator ecosystem 4 · Execute mobility/TOD at the Golden Glades hub 5 · Deliver mixed-income housing at scale.
Three place-based subdistricts
Golden Glades Mobility District
TOD, apartment repositioning, and land assemblage around the region’s biggest interchange — the primary investment-attraction area.
Uptown Cultural District
The cultural and entertainment heart at the NW 151st Street node — food halls, music, hospitality, and a “Top Chef”-style culinary identity.
Little River Innovation District
Commercial kitchens, workforce and trade training, small-business incubation, and mixed-income housing.

NW 7th Ave CRA — TIF Projection Model
Because this is an established CRA seeking an extension, the model tracks three areas frozen at different base years and compares the 2034 sunset with the 2044 maximum. Test participation, stepped growth, the 2027 non-homestead cap, and present value.
An extension model, not a creation model
Unlike a new CRA, this corridor has three areas frozen at different base years — Original Corridor (2003 base $54.2M → $267.9M in 2025), 2012 Expansion (2012 base $48.1M → $110.3M), and 2025 Expansion (2025 base $87.0M, increment starting at $0). Increment is each area’s value above its own frozen base.
TIF is captured at 95% participation (statutory maximum) on the combined County (4.5740) + UMSA (1.9090) millage, with stepped growth matching the plan and the 2027 non-homestead 5% cap.
