Swerdlow Envisions Big Retail Boxes, Assisted Living at Biscayne Landing. Developer Michael Swerdlow envisions big-box retailers and an assisted living facility to kick off development of the 190-acre site in North Miami once known as Biscayne Landing. If it successfully negotiates an agreement with the city of North Miami, Swerdlow’s Oleta Partners plans to focus first on infrastructure and cleanup of the former landfill site. Swerdlow knows the North Miami property well because he was Biscayne Landing’s developer before selling his interest to partner Boca Developers. Boca Developers built a small number of residential units before the project stalled, and the site was eventually handed back to the lender group. Oleta is planning 850,000 square feet of retail with a focus on big boxes like the Target and Costco that are already in the neighborhood. He likened his retail vision for the site to Oakwood Plaza.
