D.R. Horton proposes a 247-unit residential development in south Miami-Dade County.
The Arlington, Texas-based homebuilder plans 190 townhomes and 57 single-family homes on the southwest corner of Southwest 344th Street and 193rd Avenue in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, according to an application filed early this month.
The 26.2-acre assemblage consists of 10 lots with different owners. D.R. Horton is under contract for the land at an undisclosed price. The owners are Pedro Sifuentes and Yessenia Paola Pelaez; Nguyen Tran Investments; Felix Le, a trustee of the Felix Le Revocable Trust; Rafael and Maria Julia Orta; Yakel Pozo; Hilda Johnson; and Ralph Iori, according to property records.
D.R. Horton, led by Paul Romanowski, is requesting a comprehensive development master plan amendment from “Estate density residential” to “low density residential” with a density increase. It also wants to rezone the land from “agricultural” and “interim district” to “RU-3M.”
The developer first wants to hold a pre-application meeting with Miami-Dade. Generally, such meetings allow for county staff members to weigh in on a proposal before a developer submits an official application.
Developers have rushed with project proposals for south Miami-Dade. The area has ample buildable land that comes at a discount compared with Miami’s urban core.
Last summer, D.R. Horton bought 97 acres of farmland at Southwest 328th Street and Southeast Sixth Street in Homestead for $65 million. The firm plans the Sandero Landing project with more 1,170 residential units, including townhouses, apartments and live-work units, and more than 216,000 square feet of commercial space.
In April, Boston-based Freehold Capital Management bought the 50-acre assemblage on the southeast corner of Southwest 344th Street and Southwest 199th Avenue near Florida City for $31.6 million. The land is planned for 309 rental townhouses.
In January, homebuilding giant Lennar proposed 138 homes on the southeast corner of Southwest 220th Street and Southwest 133rd Court near Goulds, as well as 54 homes on a 9.2-acre site on the southeast corner of Southwest 212th Street and Southwest 127th Avenue in Goulds.
