Originally constructed without central air conditioning and later retrofitted with portable units, the building now offers central air conditioning as part of its renovation. The renovation project has received an emerald certification from the National Green Building Standard.
The total development costs for the preservation of Haley Sofge amounted to $95.2 million, of which Miami-Dade awarded $24.3 million as a purchase money mortgage, representing seller financing for the value of the improvements.
This milestone commemorates the completion of the sixth phase of the ambitious River Parc master plan, one of Miami-Dade County’s largest mixed-income redevelopments. Upon completion of the 10 phases in 2027, the community will span over 2,500 units of affordable, workforce and market-rate apartments.
