Hialeah city commissioners are considering final approval of a 80 acre transit oriented mixed use development zone, the Hialeah Market Station. If approved, the new zone would allow for a maximum of 3.9 million square feet of commercial/retail space, 1.7 million square feet of flex space for office or industrial use, 3,800 residential units and 1,000 hotel rooms. The area this affects surrounds the Tri-Rail station at 1200 S.E. 11th Ave. The idea behind the zone is to create a mixed-use district that’s a quick train ride from the major employment centers of Miami International Airport and downtown Miami.
