More than two years after Florida passed its landmark Live Local Act, the largest development under the legislation has been officially approved. Known as HueHub, the project will rise at 8400 NW 25th Avenue in Miami-Dade County, transforming the corridor with seven high-rise towers and thousands of “attainable” housing units. Spearheaded by Pablo Castro, through 27th Avenue Hollandpark Ecoresidences, LLC, the development secured approval in early July and is targeting a groundbreaking in late 2025.
According to final plans submitted to Miami-Dade, HueHub will deliver 4,032 residential units, along with 20,742 SF of retail, 14,480 SF of office space, and 5,037 parking spaces across two garages. The residential mix will include fully furnished studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, with rents aimed at affordability: $1,300 for studios, $1,600 for one-bedrooms, and $1,900 for two-bedrooms.
In a statement to the South Florida Business Journal, Castro framed the project as a community-focused initiative: “HueHub is of course a real estate development, but that is actually secondary in my mind to helping solve our community’s biggest challenge – access to attainable housing.” His team aims to provide a price point for new housing often out of reach for many in Miami-Dade.
Residents of HueHub will have access to a broad range of amenities designed to meet both lifestyle and professional needs. Planned amenities include coworking spaces, podcast studios, pickleball courts, a lap pool with a pool bar, childcare facilities, a library, learning center, art gallery, and even a two-acre park. One of the biggest resources to tenants is the proximity to Miami’s Metrorail, which will allow residents different options of travel beyond the vehicle.
Designed by Arquitectonica, the development will feature seven towers rising 35 stories, reaching 320 FT to the roof and 350 FT to the mechanical top. The design features art-lined elevator cores, metal balconies, and other design and material choices to soften the feel of the otherwise high-density district. On the ground floor, pedestrians can expect to see added improvements to the streetscape, with wider sidewalks and greenery.
Although the project secured zoning approval in July, no construction permits have been filed as of early August, according to Miami-Dade records. Before the planned 2025 groundbreaking, the developer will need to demolish 65 existing structures on the 14-acre site: buildings constructed between 1950 and 1990. The estimated total cost of the development stands at $880 million, making HueHub one of the largest private residential investments in the region’s recent history.
