After a failed attempt in 2016, the Margate City Commission has chosen a new development partner to rebuild its city center.

After some back-and-forth, Margate’s Community Redevelopment Agency voted 3-2 on Wednesday evening to select Brookfield Properties over Coconut Grove-based The Related Group to build on 51 acres of city-owned land, the South Florida Business Journal first reported.

The city decided between three development firms for the mixed-use project — New York-based Brookfield, Coconut Grove-based The Related Group and New Jersey-based The Michaels Organization — for the empty land at the intersection of Margate Boulevard and Highway 41.
