### Terra Breaks Ground on $1 Billion Upland Park Development in Miami-Dade
Terra has officially broken ground on **Upland Park**, a transformative $1 billion mixed-use development in West Miami-Dade County. The project aims to turn the Dolphin Park-and-Ride Transit Terminal Facility into a **47-acre transit-oriented community** featuring residential, retail, and commercial spaces.
Developed in partnership with **Miami-Dade County**, Upland Park is designed to enhance public transit usage while serving as a key component of the new **East-West Corridor** in the county’s **SMART public transportation plan**.
The project is being designed by **PPK Architects**, in collaboration with master plan architect **Arquitectonica** and urban planner **Plusurbia Design**. The master-planned community will be developed in multiple phases, ultimately delivering:
– **More than 2,000** new mid-rise and garden-style multifamily apartments
– **Approximately 282,000 square feet** of retail space
– **About 414,000 square feet** of commercial space
### First Phase Underway
The first phase of the development, currently under construction, includes **578 multifamily apartments**, with completion expected in **2026**. Financing for this phase was secured through a **$170 million construction loan** from **SCALE Lending**.
This major development is set to reshape the West Miami-Dade landscape, integrating housing, commerce, and public transit in a way that supports sustainable urban growth.
