McCormack Baron Salazar is pleased to announce the completion
of a website (www.newscottcarver.com) to complement its efforts to
revitalize the former Scott and Carver Homes sites in Miami-Dade
County.
“The website will help us keep residents, the local community, and area media
informed of our progress to create more than 350 new apartment homes that will offer
high quality living options for residents from all income levels,” says Julie
DeGraaf Velazquez, a McCormack Baron Salazar vice president and project manager for
the New Scott/Carver Community.
The website offers sections that detail the history of the Scott/Carver housing
development, from its opening in 1954, to the vision for the community
revitalization effort that pairs McCormack Baron Salazar, the Miami-Dade Public
Housing Agency and other partners to provide high-quality, environmentally
sustainable, and accessible housing options, and community resources for residents.
The website also provides updates on construction progress and leasing information
for apartment rentals, which are slated to become available this coming fall.
About the New Scott/Carver Community: The New Scott
Carver Community development effort began in 2008 when the team of McCormack Baron
Salazar, Reliance Housing Foundation and Urban Strategies were approved by the
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners and the Miami-Dade Public Housing
Agency to help implement a new HOPE VI Revitalization Plan for Scott/Carver Homes.
The plan is transforming the former Scott and Carver Homes sites into a vibrant and
thriving mixed-income, sustainable community that features energy-efficient,
high-quality units and amenities; serves families from a broad range of income
levels; and provides access to training, education and employment resources.
