City of Miami Chairwoman and District Five Guyanese-American Commissioner Christine King, along with the City’s Department of Housing & Community Development, will join Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and The Integral Group for the groundbreaking of Yaeger Plaza, a new affordable rental development in Liberty City. The ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at 10 a.m.
Located at 1177 NW 62 Street, the 1.25-acre site became available after several property owners leased their lots to the developer for 99 years, enabling the project to move forward. The development is named in honor of the former Yaeger Clinic, a neighborhood medical facility that provided decades of healthcare to the Liberty City community. The clinic has been demolished, and a new healthcare facility will be incorporated into Yaeger Plaza.
“Yaeger Plaza is another example of thoughtful, strategic development,” said Chairwoman King. “Marrying healthcare with affordable housing and commercial retail opportunities reflects my top priorities for District Five.”
The City of Miami contributed $3 million from the Miami Forever General Obligation Bond (GOB) and is leasing one of the site’s parcels to the developer. Miami-Dade County provided just over $2 million in Surtax funding.
Once completed in 2029, the $59.6 million development will feature 135 affordable rental units for families earning 22% to 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). The building will also offer approximately 10,000 square feet of community-serving space to support programming for residents.
