What's going up: Affordable housing on school district property

A local developer is hoping to build affordable housing on a portion of a Arthur & Polly Mays Conservatory of the Arts, a Miami-Dade County Public School.

• Application plans include 364 income-restricted apartments in a three-story building, a clubhouse and a pool. It will also include parking spaces, according to the South Florida Business Journal.
• Plans for the development, which will be located on the east side of the facilities, didn't include income requirements. The Conservatory was already slatted to be combined with Pine Villa Elementary in an effort to address low enrollment.

Coral Gables-based developer Blueteck broke ground on an industrial flex project in Hialeah Gardens that will include three buildings of mostly warehouse space, retail and offices, the South Florida Business Journal reported.

Miami city commissioners gave billionaire Ken Griffin the green light to purchase a historic Brickell cottage, which sits on city-owned land near the Citadel's future headquarters, for $2.98 million, the Real Deal reported.

• The Dade Heritage Trust, the nonprofit that houses its headquarters at the cottage, announced it will move the historic property to Coconut Grove on Griffin's dime, though did not provide the location.
