Major Transit-Oriented Developments in Hialeah and New Haven

Major transit-oriented developments are underway in Hialeah, Florida, and New Haven, Connecticut, to address housing shortages and stimulate local economies. In Hialeah, developers are building over 3,000 high-density housing units near the Tri-Rail and Metrorail transfer station as part of the 'Metro District,' designed for commuter convenience. Connecticut is advancing a $316 million redevelopment at New Haven's Union Station, led by Gilbane Development Company and MURAL Real Estate Partners, which will deliver 470 apartments—including 118 affordable units—plus retail, commercial space, and nearly 300 parking spaces. The New Haven project is scheduled for phased completion between 2028 and 2031 and has been highlighted by Governor Ned Lamont as a model for future transit-focused development. Both projects are part of a broader strategy to connect expanded housing with public transit and promote economic growth and sustainable urban living. Local officials and developers emphasize these initiatives as vital steps in tackling the housing crisis and fostering community connectivity.
