A 500-unit affordable housing project is proposed for city-owned parcels in Little Havana, Miami, including the Optica Lopez site at 1340 SW 8th St. Developers NR Investments, Swerdlow Group, and Mabruk USA are leading the initiative.

The project spans several lots near East Little Havana, between SW 7th and SW 8th Streets, and includes mixed-use residential components to address local housing needs.

No architect is currently associated, and design specifics or construction timelines remain undisclosed. This effort is part of a broader strategy to tackle Miami's housing affordability challenges.
