New York City-based Baron Property Group has broken ground on its second transit-oriented property in Hialeah, Florida, Metro Parc North, located directly adjacent to its first, according to a press release shared with Multifamily Dive.
Together, the existing Metro Parc, completed in 2023, and upcoming Metro Parc North will encompass over 2 million square feet of residential and retail space between Hialeah’s Tri-Rail commuter rail station and Hialeah Hospital. Construction is underway with West Palm Beach, Florida-based contractor KAST Construction and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2027, according to the release.
Metro Parc North, designed by Miami-based Modis Architects, will add 661 rental units ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. The apartments will offer open-concept floor plans, vinyl flooring, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry and private balconies.
Amenities will include a 24-hour concierge, a pool with private cabanas, coworking spaces, a multipurpose clubroom, bike storage, a pet grooming station and controlled access parking.
Located just north of Miami, Hialeah is the sixth-largest city in Florida, with a population of over 200,000. The city is in the process of developing a 25-year long-range growth plan for future development, starting from the 100th anniversary of its founding in 2025. Wider sidewalks, greater housing density and redevelopment near transit stations are among the planners’ ideas.
“This development is just the beginning of a wave of positive change that will redefine the area over the next decade,” said Matthew Baron, president and founder of Baron Property Group, during the groundbreaking, according to the release.
