Of five sites in Miami-Dade submitted in a regional bid, three are in or near Overtown, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez told The Real Deal.

Real estate investor Mitchell Newman owns one site; Michael Simkins owns the other – the Miami Innovation District property in Park West; and the third is the mixed-use Miami Worldcenter project site, Suarez said. Property records show Newman owns land just south of I-395 in Overtown.

Despite the challenges facing Miami – the increasing threat of sea level rise and a limited public transportation system – it made Amazon’s list of 20 cities it’s considering for the company’s $5 billion second headquarters.

Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties had submitted a joint bid for the project, targeting eight potential sites in South Florida. In addition to five in Miami-Dade, there are two in Broward and one in Palm Beach, according to published reports.
