Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava expressed satisfaction with the county’s dedication to provide choices for affordable homes. Mayor Levine Cava claims that across the county, there are over 32,000 homes in different phases of building right now. Projects to conserve naturally occurring affordable homes complement these efforts, therefore guaranteeing a comprehensive solution for the housing crisis.

“I don’t think there’s any place in the country that is doing more in totality than we’re doing here in Miami-Dade County. New construction, we’ve got 32,000 units in the pipeline, remember, we’ve been talking about that. We also have prevented evictions, we are subsidizing people to be able to afford them. We’re also preserving naturally occurring affordable housing,” said Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Apart from providing homes, the apartment building seeks to improve the quality of living for its occupants. It features conveniences including a fitness center, a community clubhouse, and a rooftop deck that offer neighbors great shared areas.

This new phase builds on the success of the first phase, which was completed in 2018 and provided 139 units primarily for senior residents. The majority of the money for this large-scale project comes from the affordable housing surcharge paid by the county, therefore highlighting the local government’s financial dedication to assist low-income citizens.

While Miami-Dade works on its housing issues, the opening of Superior Manor Apartments Phase II marks both a turning point in offering families in need immediate relief and a step toward more comprehensive solutions in the future.
