The term “redevelopment” generally refers to new construction that occurs within an existing developed area, commonly one that is older and has a land use pattern and related conditions that are in need of some level of improvement. It may be as simple as developing a vacant lot (“infill development”) or it could involve demolition of some or all existing structures that are not suitable for new use(s), or some combination. To date, Miramar’s experience with redevelopment covers a wide range of projects and includes both the private and public sectors, as shown here.

This project was a total demolition and re-build initiated by the company. It replaced an outdated building with the company’s more modern concept store while also bringing the design into compliance with the City’s architectural design standards. |

This was the City’s first true redevelopment project, located on a previous heavy commercial site that had been in disuse for some time. In addition to eliminating an undesirable condition, it brought new employment to the area and a new business presence for State Road 7. |

This project was unique because it involved both a demolition and re-build (Wachovia)
and redevelopment (new Walgreens). Originally the site of a large Wachovia bank
branch, the building was removed and replaced with a similarly sized building
for both uses, but with the drug store occupying the largest portion and the
bank downsizing its area. This resulted in a new business coming to historic
Miramar, bringing jobs and additional retail to the market. |

This is the most recent project to receive City approval and is the same type of improvement plan as McDonald’s, which is located nearby. |

Located at a key entry into the city at the
northwest corner of State Road 7 and Miramar Parkway, this project was the first
of the total demolition and re-build projects. In place of the previous obsolete
building and pump configuration of the old station, Mobil built a modern facility
and even added a quick oil lube service use on the site. |
 |
This is the first City initiated redevelopment
project and is unique because it involved the reuse of some existing structures
previously used for the City’s
fleet maintenance activities, which had been relocated to newer facilities. Now,
in place of an obsolete facility, the City has a modern complex that is designed
to meet the social and recreational program needs of area residents. For more

This project is located on the old City Hall site and, except for one wall retained for historical reasons, is a total demolition and redevelopment into a modern multi-service community center and fire station. |
