Holland & Knight advises Miami-Dade County Public School Board in 99-year ground lease for affordable housing development.

Holland & Knight advises Miami-Dade County Public School Board in 99-year ground lease for affordable housing development. MIAMI (August 17, 2026) - Holland & Knight represented the Miami-Dade County Public School Board in the negotiation and documentation of a 99-year ground lease and master development agreement with Atlantic Pacific Communities LLC for the redevelopment of approximately 10.3 acres of the Arthur & Polly Mays Conservatory of the Arts campus in South Miami-Dade County. The ground lease and master development agreement were approved by the School Board at its August 11 meeting. The project will deliver approximately 364 affordable and workforce housing units financed through low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC). The transaction is part of the district's broader portfolio strategy to leverage available land to generate capital while supporting school reconstruction. Under the terms of the agreement, the school board will retain fee simple ownership of the land and receive approximately $12.74 million in capitalized lease payments. The lease includes a workforce housing preference for eligible school board teachers and district employees. Holland & Knight's work focused on structuring and negotiating the ground lease and master development agreement to protect the school board's long-term interests as fee owner over the 99-year term. This included addressing construction timelines, casualty and condemnation risk allocation, leasehold mortgagee protections, demolition cost mechanics, multiphase LIHTC financing structures and ongoing affordability compliance obligations. Holland & Knight Partners Vivian de las Cuevas-Diaz and Tomas Castellanos led the Firm's representation of the Miami-Dade County Public School Board.

Holland & Knight defense role sees Firm open office in 'Rocket City' Alabama.

Holland & Knight defense role sees Firm open office in 'Rocket City' Alabama. Holland & Knight announced on August 6, 2026, the opening of the Firm's new office in Huntsville, Alabama, its 36th location worldwide. Intellectual Property attorney Ryan Letson will lead the Huntsville office as executive partner, and International Trade attorney Andrew Tuggle joins him as a founding member. Holland & Knight Chair and Chief Executive Officer Bob Grammig spoke with the Daily Report about the move to the Rocket City, saying its status as a hub for defense, aerospace, technology and manufacturing companies was the impetus for opening the new location and the Firm's global platform will help connect the local business community with a full suite of resources. "From our perspective, in the world of defense and technology and related areas [and] national security, Huntsville is ground zero for everything," he explained. "When you look at where things are developing and where the entrepreneurs are going to be, having the boots on the ground and access to the support of the entire network that we have I think is going to be a differentiator for us in Huntsville." Ryan, a well-known figure in the Huntsville defense, technology and business sectors, agreed with Bob's assessment, sharing that national security and defense have played a foundational role in Huntsville's growth, from to the launch of Redstone Arsenal in the late 1940s and to the opening of the Marshall Space Flight Center in 1960. By planting its roots in Huntsville, Holland & Knight cements its commitment to the defense industry, initiated by the establishment of a designated National Security & Defense Industry Sector Group in 2025, and enables clients to access key capabilities for research, development and expansion. "Huntsville right now is really one of the tech centers of the country," Bob said. "It is the No. 1 place to be in a lot of ways."

He currently serves as chair of the Mayor's AI Task Force Law and Ethics Committee and is a member of the Huntsville Bar Association executive committee and Huntsville Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees, as well as a former member of the Huntsville Committee of 100 Board of Directors. "It has been a unique opportunity to join a firm with the extensive resources and geographic reach required to serve the comprehensive needs of clients in Huntsville," Mr. Letson said. "I have already seen clients benefit from the capabilities of Holland & Knight's platform, from counsel on complex national security and defense matters and trade and tariff issues to lobbying efforts and corporate services. I appreciate the Firm's commitment to Alabama and look forward to contributing to the Firm's success across the state and filling our Huntsville office with the most talented and entrepreneurial lawyers in the city." Mr. Tuggle, who joined Holland & Knight in April from an international law firm, focuses his practice on export controls, foreign investment and government contracting. His past experience includes working for a multinational hardware manufacturer, a small engineering design startup and in academic research funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects (DARPA) and the Group of Eight (G8) Industrialized Nations. Holland & Knight's two Alabama offices (Birmingham and Huntsville) are home to 20 attorneys who focus on financial services litigation and white collar criminal defense, national defense and security, bankruptcy disputes, litigation, loan workouts and restructuring, as well as healthcare operations, regulatory compliance, technology and transactional matters.
