MIAMI (WSVN) - A member of President Donald Trump’s administration made a stop in South Florida for a groundbreaking ceremony for affordable housing in Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson was on hand for the groundbreaking of a new complex, Thursday.
The new building is going to include 120 new apartments and will be part of an existing affordable housing complex called Three Round Towers.
When all is completed, the entire complex will have 383 apartments. Construction costs will total $106 million.
“Here we are celebrating the largest opportunity zone project, perhaps in the entire country,” he said. “You know, nearly $107 million development, expanding three separate buildings — one of which will be a total new construct.”
This was Carson’s first stop of the day before he joined Mayor Francis Suarez for a similar groundbreaking for a building that has more than 250 apartments.
That building will be used for both residential and business purposes.
