Housing Trust Group (HTG), a leading multifamily developer, recently celebrated a significant milestone with the topping off of Naranja Grand, a 320-unit affordable housing
community in South Miami-Dade County.
In partnership with Miami Lakes-based Elite Equity Development, Naranja Grand will serve income-qualifying seniors and families across two eight-story buildings.
The topping-off ceremony was attended by notable figures including Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, District 9 Commissioner Kionne McGhee, Miami-Dade County Public Housing director Alex Ballina, and Elite Equity Development partners Roosevelt Bradley and Nicole Bradley.
“Today’s important ceremony represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide high-quality, affordable housing options for both seniors and families in Miami-Dade County,” said Matthew Rieger, president and CEO of HTG. “Naranja Grand exemplifies our ongoing commitment to creating vibrant, inclusive communities and offering essential housing solutions to those most in need. We look forward to the completion of this development and welcoming new residents in 2025.”
Located at 28050 SW 147 Ave. in Homestead, Naranja Grand consists of two buildings: a 120-unit senior community for residents ages 55 and older, and a 200-unit family community. The development addresses the critical need for affordable housing in Miami-Dade County, offering apartments to income-qualifying residents who earn at or below 22, 30, 60 and 70 percent of the area median income (AMI).
Naranja Grand’s first phase, catering to seniors, features 91 one-bedroom and 29 two-bedroom units. The second phase, designed for families, offers 90 one-bedroom, 98 two-bedroom, and 12 three-bedroom apartments.
Both eight-story residential buildings will include a range of amenities such as multipurpose community rooms, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and outdoor recreational areas. The family phase will also include a resort-style swimming pool accessible to all residents of the development. The National Green Building Standard Certified-property will feature energy-efficient lighting and appliances.
Construction on the first phase of Naranja Grand began in January 2024, with completion expected in Spring 2025. The second phase broke ground in April 2024 and is slated for completion in the third quarter of 2025. Leasing for the senior community anticipated to begin in early 2025 and in summer 2025 for the family community.
The design and construction team includes ATL Architecture, general contractor Gomez Construction, engineer EAC Consulting, interior design by Builders Design, and landscape architecture by EGS2.
