Developer Oleta Partners prevailed in a bid Tuesday to acquire 50 additional acres of bayfront property on a site in North Miami for $20 million.

Oleta succeeded after two weeks of negotiations with the city council for part of its Biscayne Landing property at Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 151st Street, according to a report in the Miami Herald. The deal involves the removal of contaminated soil from a former landfill at the site.

In addition to the $20 million purchase price, the city will receive 2 percent from the sale of the condo units on the site, bringing in an estimated $35 million in revenue over the next 10 to 15 years, the article said.

In July, Oleta Partners started construction of the first phase of the mixed-use project on the site. [Miami Herald] – Jennifer White Karp
