The five-story, 56-unit building will consist mostly of affordable housing. The property will also feature a job-training center run by Miami Dade College on the ground floor, according to the Miami Herald.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Thelma Gibson, 87, whose last name the project bears, told the Herald. Gibson and her late husband purchased 11 lots from their neighbors over the years for the affordable development. “It’s long overdue. We’ve been waiting for it.” [Miami Herald] — Christopher Cameron
