The Daily Dig
Demolition has started at 8395 NW 27th Ave. in Miami, clearing the site for The HueHub, an $880 million mixed-use development planned for the West Little River neighborhood. The 12-acre site is being cleared now, with full construction expected to follow. Developers Pablo Castro and Laura Tauber are targeting a groundbreaking later this year and have set a Q2 2028 completion date.
The finished development will include 4,032 residential units across seven 35-story towers. The project was approved under Florida's Live Local Act, a 2023 state law that trades development flexibility for reserved units serving residents who earn up to 120 percent of the area median income. Under the Act, a minimum of 40 percent of units must be set aside at that threshold in exchange for zoning and height flexibility.

TheJobWalk Thoughts
Seven towers on 12 acres means this job runs in waves, and the trades that win here will phase with the developer, not wait for a single mobilization. The 200,000 square feet of amenity space and the 2-acre park are separate procurement conversations from the towers, and those packages tend to draw less competition. For South Florida contractors and suppliers, the Live Local Act is now a legitimate pipeline tool. When a project clears that approval path, the financing and political backing are already in place, and the road from approval to shovel is a lot shorter than it would be under a conventional entitlement process.
