Homestead: Market Overview
South Dade has more developable land than anywhere else in the county, so new residential communities and the retail that follows them have been spreading south along US-1 and the Turnpike.
Agriculture and nurseries remain a large part of the economy, and Homestead Air Reserve Base is a major employer.
Industrial development has started moving south as land near the airport runs out, and the Homestead-Miami Speedway brings events and visitors.
Economic Drivers
Asset Class Activity in Homestead
| Asset Class | Activity | Market Commentary |
|---|---|---|

| Industrial | Strong | New supply on cheaper land south of the airport market |
| Multifamily | Strong | Workforce and new garden-style communities |
| Land | Selective | Entitlement and agricultural-land conversion plays |
Why Invest in Homestead?
Homestead offers the lowest land basis in Miami-Dade and a growth story. Land, new retail and industrial are the main plays; underwriting should account for hurricane and flood exposure.
