On a stretch of former farmland at the edge of Homestead, a new townhome community is lining up for review at City Hall. Bluenest Development has filed plans for Bluenest Tower Commons, a 219-unit project on roughly 20.3 acres at the southeast corner of SW 192nd Avenue (Tower Road) and SW 328th Street (Lucy Street), with a clubhouse, pool and shared outdoor areas all in the mix. Homestead’s Development Review Committee is set to take its first detailed look as the proposal moves through zoning and site-plan review.
Project details and design
The current site plan shows 219 townhomes spread across 28 two-story buildings, with three- and four-bedroom layouts that run about 1,467 to 1,598 square feet and include a single-car garage for each unit, according to Florida YIMBY. The community would have 712 total parking spaces and shared amenities anchored by a residents-only clubhouse and swimming pool. Doral-based Pascal Perez Kiliddjian Starr Architects + Planners is listed as the project architect on the submitted drawings.
Land assembly and local filings
City records show Bluenest pieced together the roughly 20.3-acre site in 2024 through three separate purchases totaling about $12.5 million, with the largest parcel trading for about $5.5 million. The application appears under multiple public hearing numbers, and the boundary survey included in the package identifies the project as Bluenest Tower Commons and lists a contact for CEO Salim Chraibi. Those materials sit in the file that Homestead officials will use as the Development Review Committee weighs the requested rezoning and site plan, according to Homestead planning documents.
Pricing and market focus
In 2024, The Real Deal reported that Bluenest was targeting townhome prices in the roughly $430,000 to $470,000 range, with many units expected to be marketed to first-time buyers, including teachers and public-safety workers. The same reporting noted that Bluenest expects to pay an additional performance earn-out of about $6.1 million once final approvals are locked in. Both those figures and any construction timeline remain subject to change as the city review process plays out.
Where it fits in south Miami-Dade
Bluenest has been busy across south Miami-Dade, appearing frequently in recent Comprehensive Development Master Plan and rezoning cycles as agricultural land shifts toward housing. Miami-Dade’s public CDMP listings show several Bluenest applications in recent amendment rounds, signaling a broader push to add townhome and multifamily inventory on the county’s periphery, according to Miami-Dade County planning records. As part of the Homestead review, local planning staff will test the Bluenest Tower Commons application against requirements for traffic, drainage and utilities.
What’s next
The next stop is the Development Review Committee meeting, where city staff will scrutinize the rezoning and site-plan submissions and flag any remaining studies, conditions or revisions. If the DRC signs off, Bluenest Tower Commons would still need to clear any required city commission approvals and obtain building permits before any site work begins. The application appears in recent Homestead agenda packets and could see adjustments as officials and community stakeholders continue to weigh the proposal, according to Homestead’s agenda materials.
