Chairwoman King to break ground on 2 new affordable twin homes
Published on January 15, 2026
City of Miami Chairwoman and District Five Commissioner Christine King will join community stakeholders on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. to commemorate the start of construction on two new affordable twin homes to be built in Overtown.
Upon completion, each two-story twin home will feature three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, spanning just over 1,480 square feet. Construction of the homes is made possible through Miami Forever General Obligation Bond funding. Once closer to completion, the twin homes will be sold to two qualifying, income-eligible, first-time homebuyers whose households earn no more than 140% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Construction of both twin homes is expected to be completed by late 2026.
“At the last ribbon cuttings of 2025, I promised to deliver more first-time homeownership opportunities in the new year, and this groundbreaking brings my promise and commitment to fruition,” said Chairwoman King.
These twin homes are part of the second round of scattered-site development in District Five, which includes a total of six new affordable homes being built on vacant, City-owned parcels identified for this purpose.
