Brownfield Program

The purpose of the Brownfield Program is to support environmental rehabilitation, job creation and promote economic redevelopment in “Environmentally Challenge Areas” with perceived or actual contamination.

  • Area Current Condition - Industrial/Office/Commercial
  • Property Size - Approximately 260 acres of land with over 220 light industrial and commercial properties.
  • Unique Features of the Area - Located within close proximity to major regional highways, Miami International Airport, Metro-Rail station, residential uses and Downtown Doral.
  • Potential Redevelopment - The City anticipates that the buildout of Downtown Doral and several other mixed-use redevelopment projects under construction along Doral Boulevard (NW 36th Street), and potential redevelopment development of the Pepsi property will be catalyst to initiate the redevelopment of this area in the future consistent with the development pattern already in-place in downtown Doral and surrounding areas.
  • Recommendation - Approval of NW 58th Street Corridor Green Reuse “Brownfield” Area Designation Pursuant to Florida’s Brownfields Redevelopment Act
