Sunbeam NBV SAP



Mission Statement

Broadcast Key was created from sand dredged from Biscayne Bay. Ever since, Biscayne Bay has been fighting to reclaim its sand. One of the most important goals of our project is to provide a beneficial impact on the adjacent waters of Biscayne Bay while defending Broadcast Key from the corrosive and erosive action of those same waters.

North Bay Village and Sunbeam Legacy

CREATING A 15 MINUTE CITY FOR EVERYONE



Sunbeam wants to build a mixed-use community where residents can walk to work, restaurants and retail stores.

Plans include an overhaul of part of Kennedy Causeway, transforming it into a walkable urban center. There will be new retail stores and restaurants on both sides of Kennedy Causeway and along the length of the half-mile Island Walk, opening the bay to everyone.

What's in the Works

Sunbeam Properties is transforming 13 acres in North Bay Village into a vibrant new mixed-use development. The proposed Sunbeam North Bay Village project will create 1,936 residential units, 6% being workforce housing, adding a hotel, new restaurants, a grocer, day care and additional retail opportunities that are committed to have 5% local merchants. WSVN will continue to operate a satellite studio within the project.

The project will have 1.25 acres of space open to the public, including a dog park and access to Biscayne Bay. In addition, a ferry is proposed as an alternative mode of transportation, unprecedented for North Bay Village residents.

What's There Now

The site is currently a television station, radio towers, an office building, vacant restaurants a small shopping center and parking.

What's Happening Next

On August 17th the Village Planning & Zoning Board recommended that the Village Commission approve the project. On August 30th the Village Commission adopted the Sunbeam NBV project regulating plan on first reading.

On September 19th Sunbeam hosted a Town Hall Meeting to present new and updated materials. The Town Hall had an incredible attendance with over 70 people joining in person and another 80+ participating via Zoom.

On Tuesday October 11th at 8:00 PM at Village Hall on the first floor, The Village Commission will hear the Project application for second reading.
