Prologis Seeks Height Waiver for 3.8M-SF Hialeah Gardens Warehouses

A site plan filed with Hialeah Gardens lists Prologis as developer of 13 warehouses totaling 3.83 million square feet on a 207-acre former rock pit lake in northwest Miami-Dade County, according to Miami Airport Warehouses. The applicant of record, White Rock East Development LLC, has also secured a $77 million Miami-Dade permit for the site at 15430 NW 107th Ave, one of the largest industrial permits issued in the county this year.

Why it matters

This is the largest industrial entitlement pipeline moving through Miami-Dade right now, and it turns on two things developers watch closely: land conversion and a zoning waiver. The site is a filled rock-pit lake east of Florida’s Turnpike and west of Countyline Corporate Park, meaning Prologis and White Rock East are creating buildable industrial land rather than buying it finished. The plan also asks the city to allow structures up to 95 feet, nearly double the current 50-foot cap, a request that will set precedent for how tall warehouse product can go in this submarket if approved. Developers eyeing infill industrial sites in the same corridor should watch how the waiver request is received.

The numbers

The project calls for 13 warehouse buildings across 3.83 million square feet, plus a smaller retail and office component, on 207.3 acres. Miami-Dade’s building permit for the site, No. 2026065810, was issued August 18, 2026 at a declared value of $77 million, with Ranger Construction Industries Inc. listed as contractor. The site plan requests a height waiver to 95 feet against the current 50-foot limit, and most of the existing lake would be filled, with a few retention ponds retained near the Turnpike.

What’s next

The site plan still needs to clear Hialeah Gardens’ review process, including the height waiver, before vertical construction can begin. Given the scale, permitting and site work are likely to proceed in phases. Developers and contractors active in South Florida’s industrial market should track the city’s decision on the waiver, since it will signal how much flexibility Miami-Dade municipalities are willing to give large-format logistics projects on reclaimed land.
