Kionne L. McGhee, the vice chairman of Miami-Dade, recently secured enough votes to move the South Dade Sports Complex forward, entering the first stages of community involvement and due diligence. The proposed facility, which will cost $337 million, will provide the local Homestead region with cutting-edge sports facilities and other community improvements, which should improve the locals’ quality of life and stimulate the economy. A news statement from the official website of Miami-Dade County states that VSGS Facilities LLC is spearheading the development with assistance from well-known international sports figures.
The sports complex has the support of NBA Hall of Famer Manu Ginobili and other well-known figures from the tennis and soccer worlds, positioning it to become a top destination. Among other things, the comprehensive plan calls for a hotel, sports academies, and a soccer stadium with 10,000 seats. According to the county’s news release, Vice Chairman McGhee stated in a statement that this project not only promises to boost our local economy but also acts as a ray of hope for our young people, encouraging talent and a sense of community in Miami-Dade County.
A resolution approved by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners has given the mayor’s office permission to start the due diligence process for a 99-year lease with VSGS Facilities. The 92-acre projected complex will be located on a combination of reclaimed land from a failed steel mill project and nearby Homestead Air Reserve Base. The project’s scope includes infrastructure upgrades and public facilities, totaling $44 million in developer funding.
“From our local stakeholders and residents to the world-class athletes who have brought their vision to the table, we are creating something extraordinary that will resonate for generations,” McGhee said, highlighting the collaborative aspect of the massive project. Renowned athletes from Argentina, such Juan Sebasti n Ver n, Dario Sala, and Marianao Zabaleta, have been lured to the concept and have partnered with Ginobili to use their skills to help the complex succeed. According to the same news release, community gatherings are planned for the coming weeks to encourage open communication and transparency in anticipation of the upcoming economic and social advantages.
