A Spanish developer is planning an $880 million workforce housing project in Miami that would include more than 4,000 apartments, childcare, and even a test kitchen — an ambitious bid to offer below-market housing in a city known for ultra-luxury property deals.

The development, called HueHub, is the largest yet proposed under Florida’s Live Local Act, a 2023 law that lets developers bypass local zoning rules if they reserve a share of units for affordable housing.
