In a $96 million deal, a joint venture between Lennar Homes and CC Homes has acquired the White Course golf course site in Doral. The partners plan to expand the mixed-use project Downtown Doral, which sits on a 130 acre site. The property is located on the east side of Northwest 87th Avenue and was previously owned by a hotel company that filed Chapter 11 during the recession. After the bankruptcy, the tract of land was controlled by the government of Singapore, as a creditor in the bankruptcy case.
The city of Doral has a pending development application with the two companies for the Downtown Doral South project. The plans call for 209 residential units, 150,000 sqf of office space, 30,000 sqf of retail, seven acres for civic and school uses, and 17.6 acres for an amphitheater/public recreation area. The plan does not give the developers the ability to transfer density and uses between the White Course and the original Downtown Doral.
“All new additions will complement the current community, and maintain its urban feel,” CC Homes said in a statement. “Plans for the White Course will cater to additional needs of Doral residents, including the construction of a charter high school to accommodate grades 6-12.”
