Residential Communities with Picnic Area in Homestead, FL

Ambar Station is a planned multifamily residential development located at 27742 and 27860 S. Dixie Highway in Homestead, Florida. Developed by The Vestcor Companies, the project spans 7.8 acres and will introduce 576 apartment units across two eight-story buildings and two three-story buildings. Designed by Anillo Toledo Lopez Architecture, the community will offer a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, along with more than 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and 852 parking spaces, including 158 electric vehicle charging stations.

Communal amenities at Ambar Station will include two resort-style swimming pools, enhancing the lifestyle offering for future residents. The community is strategically located near a local busway station, supporting transit-oriented development in one of Miami Dade County’s rapidly growing residential corridors.

First Florida Constructors, LLC., based in Miami, is serving as the general contractor and will oversee all phases of construction, from demolition through final delivery. Their leadership will ensure the project is executed to high standards of quality, safety, and efficiency.

DAR Finish Specialties, Inc. has been subcontracted to perform a comprehensive scope of interior finish work for Ambar Station. Their responsibilities will include the furnishing and installation of doors, frames, door hardware, millwork, shelving, bathroom accessories, postal specialties, and fire specialties throughout all residential units and common areas. DAR’s expert craftsmanship will help deliver a durable and aesthetically cohesive interior environment consistent with Vestcor’s vision.

Ambar Station is currently in the pre-construction phase, with the demolition of existing buildings scheduled as the first step. Completion is anticipated in 2026, at which point the development will become a significant addition to Homestead’s residential landscape, offering thoughtfully designed, amenity-rich living in a prime location.

Construction has started on Beacon at Princeton Hill, the first venture under the Live Local Act to break ground, according to the South Florida Business Journal.

There would be 41 one-bedroom and 71 two-bedroom residences; per the project’s website, they will measure 621 to 914 square feet. Residency would be available to tenants earning up to 120 precent of the area median income (AMI), which is $87,200.

The 112 homes would be in three stories, with communal amenities including a fitness center, swimming pool, and 145 parking spots. CTD Architecture designed the garden-style community; Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer. General contractor Coastland Construction intends to finish construction in early 2026.

23815 South Dixie LLC, an affiliate of developer Beacon Hill, purchased the 2.6-acre build site for $2.55 million in 2024. The site was vacant prior to the start of construction. Beacon at Princeton Hill is unfolding at 23815 S Dixie Hwy, Homestead, FL, 33032, in Miami-Dade County.
