A Pre-Application for an ASPR review has been filed for a new multifamily development in Princeton, Miami-Dade County, leveraging the Live Local Act to foster community and accessibility. Set to occupy an entire 10.59-acre parcel at the northwest corner of Southwest 236th Street and Southwest 132nd Avenue, the project plans to feature multiple three-story buildings within a secure gated community. The development is poised to offer 303 multifamily units, 40% of which will be designated as Workforce Housing, making them income-restricted to support local workers. According to the April 10 filing, all construction will adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Residential Modified District (RMD) regulations, ensuring a harmonious integration with the surrounding community’s aesthetic and functional standards.

The Pre-Application identifies LALI II, INC. as the developer and applicant, led by Victor Acosta and Lleana Alvarez, with Design Tech International as the architect. The project adopts a garden-style contemporary architectural design but does not yet have an official name or brand. However, renderings include a sign labeled “Homestead Apartments,” which suggests a potential naming direction. Although the property is located in Princeton, it is often colloquially referred to as Homestead, likely due to its proximity to the actual city.

The proposed development comprises six buildings labeled A through F, offering one- to three-bedroom floor plans. The units range in size from 622 square feet for one-bedroom, 853 square feet for two-bedroom, and 1,155 square feet for three-bedroom units. There will be 541 parking spaces, with 500 onsite and 41 offsite.

According to property records, the property spans a gross area of 435,600 square feet, bordered by Southwest 236th Street to the south, Southwest 132nd Avenue to the east, Southwest 234th Street to the north, and a proposed road labeled Southwest 133rd Avenue to the west.

As outlined in the letter of intent included, the property is zoned IU. A Miami-Dade County Memorandum titled “Implementation and Interpretations of the Live Local Act regarding zoning and land use (SB 102),” dated June 26, 2023, addresses applicable zoning adjustments. This memorandum specifies that in zones typically not permitting multifamily development, such as IU, the zoning standards for RU-4 may be adopted, and RMD standards may apply if the property is within a CDMP-designated Mixed-Use Corridor. Positioned partially within a 1/2 mile buffer and partially within a 1/4 mile buffer of a SMART Plan Corridor, the property has been confirmed by county staff to be eligible for RMD standards based on these interpretations, and any CDMP single-use limitations would not apply to this project due to its use of the Act.

The apartment buildings’ design incorporates a blend of materials and architectural elements, featuring prominent gabled roofs topped with metal seam roof paneling from Mid Florida Metal Roofing Supply in a mansard brown color. Most exterior walls are finished in Olympus white stucco, with slab edges in a matching pure white stucco, creating a crisp, clean appearance. Sand dune-colored accents highlight the columns and framing, contributing to the buildings’ visual depth and character, especially up to the second floor. The terraces are adorned with bronze railings, adding a touch of elegance, while the numerous open walkways are marked by archways, lending a classical architectural touch to the overall contemporary design.

While official property records do not specify an address for the parcel, Google Maps indicates 23400 Southwest 132nd Avenue as the potential address, as referenced below.
