Integra Solutions has proposed a $385.9 million redevelopment project for the Annie Coleman 15 public housing complex in Brownsville, Miami-Dade County. The plan would increase the number of residential units on the 12-acre site from 144 to 905 and introduce a mix of income-restricted apartments.
The developer is seeking a 99-year ground lease and master development agreement with Miami-Dade County to demolish and rebuild the aging complex, which was originally constructed in 1965. The proposal will be reviewed by the county’s Housing Committee next week.
In addition to redeveloping the main site at 2200 and 2501 N.W. 57th Street, Integra Solutions intends to include an adjacent parcel that it currently has under contract. The company estimates construction costs at $270.1 million, divided into three phases. According to the proposal, all current residents would have the opportunity to remain in new public housing units once completed.
The planned unit mix includes 495 one-bedroom apartments, 187 two-bedrooms, 158 three-bedrooms, and 65 four-bedroom townhomes. Income restrictions would range from extremely low-income to workforce levels: specifically, there would be 182 units at 30 percent of area median income (AMI), 270 at 60 percent AMI, 272 at 80 percent AMI, and 181 at up to 120 percent AMI.
Amenities outlined in Integra’s proposal include a fitness center, playground, youth art center, commercial space totaling about 3,100 square feet, an on-site police workstation, and twenty homes available for purchase. Additional commitments feature allocating five percent of developer fees to the Brownsville Civic Neighborhood Association and ten percent of net cash flow toward a local public art endowment.
Miami-Dade County began marketing the property in 2023 as part of efforts to modernize its public housing stock—a process that often requires federal approval due to mixed-income models involving replacement public housing alongside affordable and workforce units.
Integra’s principals—Victor Ballestas, Paulo Henrique Tavares de Melo, Jacob Conrad Morrow, and Nelson Stabile—are expected to seek state financing through the Florida Housing Finance Corp next year. The company did not respond to requests for comment.
If approved by committee next week, the proposal will go before the Miami-Dade County Commission for a vote in January.
