Landmark QOZB seeks 162-acre Miami Gardens rezoning for mixed use
Miami-Dade's own parcel record puts the full folio at 165.6 acres, and it already carries 21 county buildings the trade coverage never mentioned.
Landmark QOZB Construction LLC filed a pre-application on May 26, 2026 with Miami-Dade County to rezone roughly 162 acres of county-owned land at 20000 NW 47th Avenue in unincorporated Miami-Dade, near Miami Gardens, for a mixed-use industrial, residential and retail redevelopment. The applicant is managed by Juan Carlos Mas of Coral Gables-based MASAJP, and the filing remains at the pre-application stage, the first formal step before a zoning docket is set.
Why it matters
This is not a private land purchase. Miami-Dade County’s own parcel record lists the owner of folio 3011310010030 as Miami-Dade County, carried under its General Services Administration real estate management division, meaning Landmark QOZB is proposing to take over the county’s existing lease on the parcel rather than buy it outright. The request would rezone the site from agricultural use to a mix of BU-2, Mixed-Use Corridor District and IU-1 light industrial designations. A QOZB-branded applicant entity paired with county-controlled land points to a public-private structure built around a Qualified Opportunity Zone vehicle, a template other developers eyeing county land along the NW 47th Avenue corridor will be watching closely.
The numbers
Trade coverage cited 162 acres for the pre-application. Miami-Dade’s own GIS parcel data puts the full folio at 7,211,401.56 square feet, or about 165.6 acres, roughly 3.6 acres larger than the reported figure. That same county record shows the site already carries 21 structures totaling 90,386 square feet, built in 1999, all still under county ownership. The proposed program includes up to 3.9 million square feet of industrial space across five warehouse buildings on about 90 acres, roughly 24,000 square feet of retail, a 36,600-square-foot community center, and a 14.7-acre linear park. The 190 affordable units, capped at 120% of area median income, are planned on about 7 acres, which pencils to roughly 27 units per acre.
What’s next
A rezoning of this size and a change to the county’s Future Land Use Map both require public hearings before reaching Miami-Dade’s Board of County Commissioners, and the pre-application stage is the first formal step in that process. Watch whether the county’s lease terms for the site become public alongside the zoning docket, since they will set the real cost of the ground beneath the deal. Track the filing at the Miami hub.
