Miami Executive Airport (TMB) presents a unique opportunity for PPP firms to shape the future of Miami-Dade County's aviation landscape. The County is seeking proposals for the financing, development, and operation of non-aeronautical projects at this strategically located airport.
At Gazitua Letelier, we’re experts in these types of projects in Miami-Dade County and see a unique opportunity at Miami Executive Airport. This 30-year Development Lease Agreement offers a prime opportunity to shape the future of Miami-Dade County's aviation landscape. This project aims to enhance the airport's offerings from retail to commercial and industrial ventures while complementing the surrounding communities. These development sites offer unparalleled potential for growth and innovation.
Why Consider Projects at Miami Executive Airport?
The airport offers a prime location and excellent accessibility. It is situated in South Central Miami-Dade County. TMB offers easy access to major business and shopping areas via the Florida Turnpike and the Don Shula Expressway.
TMB houses a range of facilities, including flight schools, maintenance and repair stations, FBOs, fire and rescue units, a police department aviation unit, and the Wings over Miami Air Museum. The airport also offers customs and border protection services for international flights.
Significant investments have been made in TMB's infrastructure since 1995, including safety and security enhancements, runway extensions, and a new FAA air traffic control tower. As part of the Miami-Dade County airport system, TMB contributes significantly to the local economy.
County Objectives and Opportunities for Development
The County's objective is to lease two separate sites for commercial and retail development, with a focus on enhancing airport services and supporting local businesses. Certain activities are prohibited on the premises, including gambling facilities, nuisance activities, and operations incompatible with airport regulations.
Proposals should emphasize visually appealing designs and high-quality architectural standards. The selected proposer will have a 36-month timeframe for due diligence, design, permitting, and construction activities.
The available investment properties offer a range of specifications and requirements, including guidelines related to stormwater management, design standards, and regulatory compliance. Proposers are responsible for securing the necessary financing, and the County will require transparency regarding the total expected capital investment.
The Development Lease Agreement will be for a term of 30 years, during which the lessee will be responsible for land rent and all aspects of development and operation. Proposals must conform to MIA's design and development guidelines, incorporating sustainability principles, ADA design standards, and innovative architectural designs..
