Dead in the water and on the water
According to recent reports, the new president and CEO of Mercy Hospital, John C. Johnson, says that they have no intentions at Mercy on putting their land on the market any time in the foreseeable future. The land, once the subject of massive protests is now going to remain vacant land.
Mr. Johnson said that there will be no condos or assisted living facility or office buildings built on the 6.7 acres where The Related Group once had hopes of building.
The Related Group's project was so out of scale for the neighborhood and it seemed that every court that looked at it agreed with the protesting neighbors. The City of Miami Commission, ignored their own growth rules and agreed to rezone the property for the massive project, called 300 Grove Bay Residences, which happily for most neighbors concerned is a dead deal and never to return. We hope.
For stories on the on-going saga, you can do a search up in the blog search box for "Mercy project" or "300 Grove Bay Residents" or "Related Group" and the stories will all pop up.

Imagine if the hospital loaned a small section of the 6.7 acres to the community to be used as a park.
That would be incredible.
Don't be so comfortable with this. The GI zoned land could be developed with unlimited height as long as it is for a GI use, like a long term care facility or doctor's offices or housing for medical staff. It could make the Related Group project look like it was a great option.
