McDowell Housing Partners (MHP), a leading development and investment firm specializing in the development of affordable multifamily housing communities, has completed construction of Southpointe Vista Phase I and closed financing on the second phase of the transformative multiphase community in Goulds near Cutler Bay.
Phase I delivers 124 units and Phase II will provide another 208 units for families and individuals earning at, or below, 70 percent of the county’s median income.
Southpointe Vista is strategically located at SW 117th Court and SW 214th Street. Phase I, the newly completed 10-story building, was partly funded through Miami-Dade County’s Housing and Community Development Department with $2.5 million in local surtax funds.
REPRTWÄR Architecture and Design served as the architect, bringing the modern and functional design to life. A joint venture between MHP Builders and ANF Group served as the general contractor.
Phase I features:
• 91 one-bedroom, 25 two-bedroom, and eight three-bedroom units, reserved for households at various income levels at 30 percent, 60 percent, and 70 percent of the area median income (AMI).
• Top-tier amenities, including a community room, laundry facilities, cybercafé, fitness center, rooftop terrace, and on-site management offices.
• A two-story parking garage, connected via skybridge, offering 196 parking spaces and 18 electric vehicle charging stations.
“I am incredibly proud to celebrate the completion of the first phase of Southpointe Vista,” said Chris Shear, COO of McDowell Housing Partners. “Although I have personally developed multiple affordable communities in Miami-Dade County, this is McDowell Housing Partner’s first project in Miami-Dade.
“Phase I is nearly 100 percent pre-leased, signifying the overwhelming demand for safe and affordable housing options, especially in locations that are near places of employment, services and amenities that families use daily,” Shear continued. “We remain committed to addressing the housing crisis in Miami-Dade County as we roll right into the construction of Phase II.”
Al Fernandez, CEO of ANF, added, “This project embodies our commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable housing in South Florida. Southpointe Vista offers modern amenities and thoughtfully designed residences without sacrificing affordability.”
The next phase of development, Southpointe Vista Phase II, closed financing and commenced construction on Jan. 30. Phase II incorporates 208 additional units within a 12-story building. A pedestrian paseo connecting both buildings and their respective parking garages will introduce a cohesive community, while further expanding affordable housing options in Miami-Dade County.
Phase II highlights include:
• Well-appointed one- and two-bedroom apartments, featuring spacious kitchens with granite countertops, tile backsplashes, upgraded LVP flooring, walk-in closets, and in-unit washer/dryers.
• Enhanced community amenities, including a fully equipped fitness center, game room, media center, cybercafé, and bocce ball court adjacent to Phase I.
• Expected completion in the third quarter of 2026.
