City of Miami TAP Report Hero
Summary
A product of Urban Land Institute's 2025 South Florida Leadership Institute cohort, this TAP Report outlines a visionary redevelopment strategy for The Overpass, an 18.75-acre municipal site in Miami's Health District. Home to several city departments and industrial uses, the site presents a rare opportunity to transform underutilized public land into a vibrant, mixed-use destination that bridges the neighborhoods of Allapattah, the Health District, and Greater Downtown Miami.

The proposed plan integrates essential municipal services with residential, commercial, and medical uses – anchored by an iconic 8.5-acre rooftop park. Through a phased development strategy, the team offers solutions for environmental remediation, infrastructure upgrades, and the relocation and modernization of city services, while honoring Miami's rich history and diverse communities. Additional recommendations include transit and pedestrian connectivity, public-private partnership models, and regulatory tools such as Special Area Plans (SAPs), the Miami 21 Zoning Code, and Florida's Live Local Act. Financial modeling supports long-term viability through ground leases, tax revenue, and job creation, positioning The Overpass as a transformative project for Miami's future.
