The Transformative Impact of the Live Local Act

The Live Local Act is a game-changer, unlocking the potential to maximize the output and value of low-density land. It's not just an economic catalyst; it's a boon for property owners and developers. For single-family homeowners, this Act promises higher sale values. For small to medium-scale developers, it offers favorable land-to-building ratios.

Exploring a Modest T4-L Zone Project

To wrap up our focus on the City of Miami's T4-L zone, I explored a modest project with a standing single-family home. While conventional zoning permits up to six units, the Live Local Act empowers us to envision at least 30 units on the same plot. Curious about the model? I've shared a link in the comments for a hands-on experience – no account required.

Financial Insights and Valuation

Interestingly, our AI's price estimate stands around $600k, a figure that aligns with Zillow's evaluation. While this valuation fits the bill for a single-family residence, it doesn't quite measure up for a six-unit structure, let alone a 30-unit development. Yet, even at an ambitious $900k price tag, the venture projects a conservative yet promising 6% return on cost.
