Demolition has officially commenced at the 12-acre site of The HueHub, a planned mixed-use residential development located at 8395 NW 27th Avenue in Miami’s West Little River neighborhood. The $880 million project is being developed by Pablo Castro and will introduce a large-scale workforce housing community intended to serve essential workers across Miami-Dade County.

The demolition phase marks the first major step toward construction of what is planned to be one of the largest attainable housing developments in South Florida. Once completed, the transit-oriented development is slated to include seven 35-story towers containing more than 4,000 fully furnished residential units, along with neighborhood-serving retail space, public open areas, and a range of resident amenities.
Planned residential pricing is expected to begin at approximately $1,300 per month for studio units, $1,600 for one-bedroom residences, and $1,900 for two-bedroom units. The development is aimed at providing housing options for members of the local workforce, including firefighters, police officers, educators, healthcare professionals, hospitality employees, and service workers.

“Beginning demolition is a tangible signal that this long-envisioned project is becoming real,” said Pablo Castro, Developer of The HueHub. “This step reflects months of planning, coordination, partnership, commitment and a true vision to move forward with a development that directly responds to the urgent housing needs of the people who keep Miami-Dade County running.”
The project will also include approximately 200,000 square feet of interior amenity space, a two-acre public park, and facilities intended to support daily needs such as co-working areas, cultural programming space, childcare services, and healthcare offerings.
According to a 2025 City Pulse report from the Gensler Research Institute, nearly 52 percent of Miami residents between the ages of 18 and 34 surveyed indicated they are likely to move out of the city, citing cost of living as a primary factor. The HueHub’s development plan includes a commitment to reserve approximately 3,000 units at base rental rates for first responders and essential workers.
The site is located near the Northside Metrorail Station and Tri-Rail service, providing direct transit connections to Downtown Miami, Miami International Airport, and other employment centers throughout South Florida.
Demolition work is expected to continue over the coming weeks. A formal groundbreaking for the vertical construction phase is anticipated to follow.
