Baron Property Group Tops Out 661-Unit Metro Parc North in Hialeah

• Baron Property Group tops out 661-unit rental project in Hialeah
• Second phase of a 2M+ square foot mixed-use development near transit
• Completion targeted for late 2027

What the topping out means for construction progress

Metro Parc North reaching its topping-out marks a major milestone as the project moves closer to delivery. The 661-unit building at 955 East 26th Street is now structurally complete, shifting focus toward interior buildout and leasing preparation. For developers, topping out reduces a significant portion of construction risk and signals that the project is firmly on track for its expected 2027 completion.

What the scale of the project means for Hialeah supply

This is not a small addition to the market. At 661 units, Metro Parc North represents one of the largest new rental developments in Hialeah. It also builds on the success of the adjacent Metro Parc project, which includes 559 units and retail space. Together, the two phases will deliver more than 1,200 units and over two million square feet of development. That scale positions the project as a new residential hub in a submarket that has historically lacked large, institutional-quality multifamily supply.

What transit-oriented design means for tenant demand

The development sits next to a Metrorail station and near Hialeah Hospital, making it a true transit-oriented asset. This location gives renters direct access to employment centers and reduces reliance on cars, which is increasingly attractive for younger renters and workforce tenants. Transit proximity also supports higher occupancy and rent stability, particularly in growing urban submarkets like Hialeah.

What the amenity package means for rent growth

Metro Parc North is being positioned as one of the first fully amenitized, modern rental buildings in the area. Units will feature upgraded interiors with open layouts, stainless steel appliances, and private balconies. Amenities include a resort-style pool, coworking areas, clubroom space, and concierge service. This level of finish allows the property to compete with newer assets in Miami while introducing a higher standard of living to Hialeah, which can support premium rents relative to the existing housing stock.

What this development means for Hialeah’s evolution

Hialeah has traditionally been a workforce housing market with limited new construction at scale. Projects like Metro Parc North signal a shift toward institutional-grade multifamily and mixed-use development. By combining residential density with retail and transit access, Baron Property Group is effectively helping reshape the area into a more connected, live-work environment. This aligns with broader South Florida trends where developers are targeting underbuilt submarkets with strong population growth and upgrading them with modern product.
