MSC Group invested more than $100 million in downtown Miami for its new North American headquarters, creating nearly 500 jobs. The Switzerland-based global logistics and shipping company bought 130,000 square feet of office space at Block 55 at Sawyer’s Walk last year for $67 million. MSC Group is spending $40 million to build out the space and get it ready to house the company's North American headquarters. Employees from three of the company's divisions — MSC Cargo, MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys — will work at the firm's new U.S. headquarters.

The Residences at Sawyer’s Walk are part of a new mixed-use development that serves as an example of how dense and creative projects can address critical needs in underserved areas across South Florida. The 1.5 million-square-foot, mixed-use project opened last year and includes 578 units for low-income seniors, 175,000 square feet of fully leased retail space, an office component of around 130,000 square feet and a 25,000-square-foot plaza occupying an entire city block.

Sawyer’s Walk, the largest mixed-use development in Miami’s historic community of Overtown, has announced the delivery of the retail component with a new Target that just opened and other major retailers set to open over the coming weeks and months, including a Burlington, Five Below, Aldi super-market, and Ross Dress for Less, which will serve the immediate community and surrounding neighborhoods.

The downtown Miami area now has its first Target store. The big-box retailer, along with other stores, opened in October at Sawyer’s Walk, a new shopping and affordable apartment complex in Overtown. Burlington, Five Below and an Aldi supermarket also opened in October and November. Ross Dress for Less should be ready for customers by March. “The new stores are already performing very well, with Target being ahead of what it projected,” Michael Swerdlow, the project’s developer, said in a statement to the Miami Herald.

Sawyer’s Walk, the largest mixed-use development in the historic community of Overtown, announces the delivery of the retail component with a brand new Target that just opened and other major retailers set to open over the coming weeks and months, including a Burlington, Five Below, Aldi supermarket, and Ross Dress for Less, which will serve the immediate Overtown community and surrounding neighborhoods.

Target has opened its store at a new retail complex in downtown Miami near the Brightline station. The new 50,000-square-foot Target is part of the 1.5 million Sawyer’s Walk development in Overtown, which includes multiple levels of retail, office, and residential.

Retailers are starting to open at developer Michael Swerdlow’s Sawyer’s Walk project in Miami’s Overtown. Already open are Target’s 50,000-square-foot store and Burlington’s 38,000-square-foot store, according to the developers’ news release. Next, Aldi will open in a 25,000-square-foot space and Five Below in a 10,000-square-foot space. In March, Ross Dress for Less will open a 26,000-square-foot store.

More than 90,000 units are needed in Miami-Dade County for renters earning below 80 percent of the area median income—which is roughly $75,000—according to an analysis released earlier this year by nonprofit Miami Homes for All. And seniors are among the most cost-burdened population. One project that caters to this vulnerable segment recently opened in the Overtown neighborhood: The Residences at Sawyer’s Walk.

Senior citizens who lost their homes in a massive fire earlier this year are finally getting a new place to live. On Monday, they moved into brand-new, furnished apartments. New appliances, new fixtures, new furniture and new windows to new views — a new beginning for many who desperately needed it.

Elderly, displaced residents who lived at the Miami apartment that burned down a few months ago are getting their first look at where they will be living now. On Monday, the former residents of Temple Courts Apartments got a tour of their new homes at the Sawyer Walk Residence near Second Avenue and Sixth Street. Residents toured their new living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms that were ready to welcome them to their new homes.
