Construction has begun on The Residences Palm Court, a 316-unit mixed-income development at 950 NW 95th Street in the West Little River neighborhood of North Miami-Dade. The project is led by Related Urban Development Group, the affordable and workforce housing arm of Related Group, in partnership with Miami-Dade County. The development is partly funded by $3.5 million in Home Investment Partnerships Program funding from the County.
The Residences Palm Court will replace 191 existing public housing units with 316 new mixed-income and mixed-use apartments across an eight-story building. The redevelopment is structured as a public-private partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Housing to enhance site density and improve the quality of life for existing residents. The plan ensures zero displacement of current seniors, with 191 units designated explicitly for elderly households. All existing residents will be offered units within the new development.

“The start of construction marks another milestone in our mission to build dynamic, inclusive communities that serve all Miamians,” said Albert Milo Jr., President of Related Urban. “Above all, I’m proud to reaffirm the promise we made to this community: every senior currently living on site will be welcomed into the new development without displacement or cost. More than just housing, this project represents a long term investment in this community’s dignity, health, and opportunity.”
The project will include a new 5,000-square-foot Jessie Trice Community Health Clinic operated by the Jessie Trice Community Health System, which has served Miami-Dade County since 1967 and is the first federally qualified health center in Florida and the fifth in the United States. The on site clinic will provide immediate access to physical and mental healthcare for residents and the broader community. Medical staff will include physicians, dentists, and nurse practitioners.

Residential interiors will include full-size energy-efficient appliances, granite countertops, impact windows, central air conditioning, and luxury vinyl flooring. Select apartments will offer in-unit washers and dryers. Shared amenities will feature a fitness center, co-working areas, a multipurpose room, a computer lounge, walking paths, bike storage, a dog park, a community garden, a game room, and on-floor laundry rooms.
Completion is anticipated by the end of 2027.
