The HueHub has signed a landmark agreement with Miami-Dade County unions to secure long-term rental stability for first responders and essential workers. The initiative will dedicate approximately 3,000 units within the forthcoming development for police officers, firefighters, county employees, Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office staff, hospitality workers, healthcare professionals, and educators, making it the first agreement of its kind in the Miami housing market.

Residents will benefit from locked rental rates for 10 years, with fully furnished residences starting at approximately $1,300 for studios, $1,600 for one-bedrooms, and $1,900 for two-bedrooms.

“This partnership is proof that private development, labor organizations and institutions can collaborate to create viable housing solutions for those who serve our community,” said Pablo Castro, developer of The HueHub. “These individuals dedicate their lives to keeping Miami safe and running and often have to live far from their work, many in other counties. The HueHub is not only housing, but a 360° lifestyle experience. There has simply not been an attainable housing in Miami with so many services and amenities, all with a 10-year rental pricing guarantee.”

Miami-Dade County faces one of the most severe housing affordability crises in the nation, with more than 60 percent of renters spending over a third of their income on rent, and some spending more than half. The county projects a need for 200,000 new housing units by 2030. The HueHub’s 4,032 planned residences, with 3,000 already secured for essential workers, represent a significant contribution toward addressing the growing demand.

“While the agreements provide immediate relief,” Castro added, “its deeper purpose is to highlight the urgent need for more long-term housing solutions that meet the everyday needs of Miami-Dade families. This is a unique model that I truly hope gets replicated by others.”

The HueHub will rise at 8395 NW 27th Avenue in West Little River as a designated Transit Oriented Development. Located within walking distance of the Northside Metrorail Station and Tri-Rail, the site will provide direct access to Miami International Airport, Downtown Miami, and the wider South Florida region. Proximity to universities, technical colleges, and hospitals further positions the development to serve the county’s workforce.

Spanning 509,447 square feet across 12 acres, the master plan calls for seven 35-story towers with fully furnished residences. Nearly 200,000 square feet of interior amenities will include a full gym, swimming pool, coworking spaces, art galleries, a test kitchen, and two acres of landscaped park space. Hourly services such as house cleaning and dog walking will also be available to residents.

The HueHub is being realized through a collaboration with Coastal Construction, Arquitectonica, Bilzin, Greenberg Traurig LLP, Franyie Engineers, and The HueHub’s in-house development team. Groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2026.

    OMG , whoever was on this plan and team, I can’t say thank you loud enough. This is Context Sensitive Design at its absolute best!

    • The project or the community outreach, because this project of multiple towers surrounded by a sea of single-family homes, and low-rise garden apartments, commercial and industrial properties is definitively out of context.
