The largest U.S. affordable housing project of its kind that has been built in the past decade is now open in downtown Miami. Residents at Sawyer's Walk, located in the heart of Miami’s historically Black Overtown area, have officially started moving into the 18-story tower's 578 units for seniors. The mixed-use complex occupies an entire city block at 249 NW 6th St. and comprises 1.5 million square feet of residential, office and retail space. Sawyer's Walk includes a 25,000-square-foot linear park just behind the building that is now open.

MSC Group is anchoring its new North America cruise headquarters at Michael Swerdlow’s Block 55 at Sawyer’s Walk after paying $67 million for a commercial unit at the Overtown mixed-use project. 

On Overtown land where the City of Miami once planned 1,050 units of affordable and mid-income housing, a global cargo firm and cruise line will invest $100 million to develop a new US headquarters, uniting its 250 South Florida employees under one roof.
