Full documentation is available during due diligence, eliminating a common risk factor associated with infill redevelopment. IRREPLACEABLE INFILL SITE—Vacant, shovel-ready parcels of this zoning classification in Miami's urban core are extremely limited, with surrounding land largely built out and institutionally controlled by the hospital system.
