Terra Breaks Ground on $1B Miami Transit-Oriented Development - Upland Park

In a landmark move, Terra has commenced construction on Upland Park, a $1 billion mixed-use development set to redefine West Miami-Dade County. This 47-acre transit-oriented community represents the largest public-private partnership in Miami-Dade's history. Designed by PPK Architects, in collaboration with master plan architect Arquitectonica and urban planner Plusurbia Design, Upland Park will satisfy growing demand for commercial and residential real estate in West Miami-Dade, seamlessly blending residential, retail, and commercial spaces while enhancing public transit connectivity.

A New Era for West Miami-Dade:

Upland Park is poised to address the region's growing demand for residential and commercial real estate. Key features of the development include:

• Residential Units: More than 2,000 new mid-rise and garden-style multifamily apartments.

• Retail Space: Approximately 282,000 square feet dedicated to retail establishments.

• Commercial Facilities: About 414,000 square feet allocated for commercial use.

The project's first phase, currently under construction, comprises 578 multifamily apartments and is slated for completion in 2026.

Strategic Transit Integration:

Upland Park's integration with the Dolphin Park-and-Ride Transit Terminal is a cornerstone. This alignment supports Miami-Dade County's Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan, particularly the East-West Corridor, which aims to enhance connectivity from the Miami Intermodal Center near Miami International Airport to the Tamiami Terminal.

Economic and Community Impact:

Beyond its architectural footprint, Upland Park is expected to:

• Job Creation: Generate thousands of jobs during and after construction.

• Revenue Generation: Produce over one billion dollars in new rent and tax revenues for Miami-Dade County over a 90-year lease agreement.

• Enhanced Mobility: Provide residents with efficient transit options, reduce their reliance on personal vehicles, and promote sustainable urban living.

Looking Ahead:

Upland Park is a transformative development for West Miami-Dade, blending modern living spaces with strategic transit solutions. As the largest transit-oriented community in the county's history, it sets a precedent for future developments that aim to harmonize urban growth with sustainable transportation. Investors and stakeholders can anticipate a dynamic community that elevates the local real estate market and enhances residents' overall quality of life.
