The Miami Beach referendum
The City Commission called the special election by Resolution 2026-34389. The question on the city’s official sample ballot (PDF) is titled “Two 20-year Lease Extension Options for City Property at 1691 Michigan Avenue.” It asks whether the city should amend its ground lease with RK Rivani LLC to:
- Grant two 20-year extension options
- Authorize 47,000 square feet of new development above the existing garage
- Guarantee $247,733,206.12 in base rent, plus estimated percentage rent of $184,140,862.35, over the 40 years of the options
- Raise the percentage rent from 2.5% to 3%, an estimated $13,261,308.15 more over the 64 years left on the current term
The commission approved the lease amendment itself, subject to a majority vote of city voters, in Resolution 2026-34388. The resolutions and the full amendment are posted on the clerk’s related resolutions page.
The rest of the ballot carries federal, state and county races and statewide questions. Read your own sample ballot before you vote; the general election sample ballot is linked from the clerk’s election page.
