Where We Build: Homestead Districts We Serve

- The agricultural and industrial districts – agribusiness, packing, warehouse, and flex space;
- The Homestead-Miami Speedway and Florida City edge – hospitality and commercial;
- Growing neighborhood commercial nodes.

Permitting and Code in Homestead
As part of Miami-Dade County, Homestead sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — the strictest section of the Florida Building Code — so every commercial project is engineered for extreme hurricane wind and windborne-debris impact, permitted through the city and county.
Several requirements shape commercial work here:
- High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — wind-load and missile-impact design govern the building envelope, with impact-rated windows, doors, and roofing carrying Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation;
- Roofing and envelope — HVHZ roofing assemblies, enhanced attachment, and secondary water barriers;
- Flood and stormwater — FEMA flood zones and South Florida Water Management District drainage requirements on low-lying sites;
- Threshold and special inspections on qualifying structures.
We design and build to these from day one, coordinating product approvals, engineering, and permitting so a Homestead project clears review and stands up to South Florida’s climate.
