Miami-Dade County commissioners will soon decide whether to rezone a 1.59-acre tract adjacent to the Metrorail south busway corridor to permit a 216-bed assisted living facility for the elderly, or side with unhappy nearby residents in the east Killian neighborhood and reject it.

The decision comes amid a general construction boom along the buses only lanes that run parallel to South Dixie Highway, U.S. 1 in South Dade. The growth there is exemplified by an 18-story, 298-unit apartment complex that opened recently 9600 S. Dixie Hwy. Three more high-rise apartment buildings are being planned near the Dadeland South station, and others are under consideration for the area south of SW 160th Street where many new and renovated businesses, as well as several mid-size apartments have recently gone up.
