BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br />Perkins and Will conducted a public realm and urban planning study to examine the <br />opportunities to reestablish Overtown as Miami’s center for Black culture and honor <br />the people, history, and entrepreneurial character of the pre-sixties community. <br />The Overtown Cultural and Entertainment District will be distinct from much of <br />the new development in downtown Miami. It will be highly walkable, scaled for <br />pedestrians, with centralized parking and access to public transportation. It will <br />be a space for Black innovators and entrepreneurs, with a diverse mix of housing, <br />dining, shopping, and arts and cultural venues within a compact, lushly landscaped <br />urban environment. This new architectural streetscape and public realm elements <br />will convey the energy, vitality, entrepreneurial spirit and resourcefulness of the <br />community that originally built and inhabited Overtown. By bringing back the <br />Black community to a rejuvenated Overtown, a trend towards small-scale and <br />local development will follow. With the Lyric Theatre as the center for a rebirth of <br />Overtown’s Main street arts and entertainment scene, the once-thriving restaurant <br />and nightclub venues will follow. <br />Scope: New Construction <br />Size: 40 acres <br />Construction Cost: n/a <br />Completion Date: Ongoing <br />Project Responsibilities and Role: Master <br />Planning <br />Key Personnel: Pat Bosch, Christopher <br />Counts, Leo Alvarez <br />Owner Point of Contact: <br />Michael Simkins, Chief Executive Officer <br />Simkins Industries <br />t. 305.803.9884 <br />e. mrsimkins@simkinsindustries.com <br />25.
