ElevenTrust is proud to present a premier 14.46-acre development canvas (Folio #10-7915-001-0020) situated within the high-demand Waterstone corridor of Homestead. This is a rare institutional-grade opportunity to secure a significant footprint in a submarket defined by rapid residential absorption and strategic commercial expansion. The property’s location within the Urban Expansion Area (UEA) makes it a prime candidate for future zoning improvements, offering a sophisticated investor the chance to capitalize on the next wave of South Miami-Dade’s urban density shift. Unlike most large parcels in this sector, this site features city water and sewer already in place, which drastically slashes pre-development timelines and capital requirements. Positioned just minutes from the Florida Turnpike, top-tier schools, and a bustling retail hub, the site ensures premier connectivity for any future residential or mixed-use project. While you navigate the entitlement process and plan for the highest and best use, the property currently generates $1,000 per month in holding income under its AU designation. In a market where contiguous land of this scale is increasingly scarce, this +/-14.5-acre parcel represents a pivotal strategic asset at the forefront of Homestead’s success story.
