Miami-based developer Shoma Group has completed its two-tower, 304-unit multifamily rental community in Hialeah, Shoma Village. They will begin welcoming residents to their brand new apartments on August 1. Leased by KW Property Management & Consulting and managed by Shoma MGMT, the development is 65% rented and expected to be fully leased by the end of summer. Amid South Florida's red-hot real estate market, Shoma Village is the latest example of a growing trend of new apartment buildings that have opened with over half of its units rented.
The project’s success is a testament to Shoma’s shrewdness as a developer who identifies and builds in promising areas often bringing a new type of product to the neighborhood. Shoma Village is leading a wave of new development and investment trickling into Hialeah, known as the City of Progress, aiming to spur economic growth and cater to a younger demographic of professionals who are Hialeah natives. The project was one of the first new Class A mixed-use housing and retail developments to break ground in the community in recent years. In addition to apartments, it will deliver an upscale Shoma Bazaar food hall, hair salon and store.
“Hialeah has always been a desirable location full of possibilities. That was true when we built Shoma Homes at Country Club of Miami here 20 years ago, and it’s still true today,” said Masoud Shojaee, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Shoma Group. “The overwhelming response we've seen, with the first tower becoming fully leased before future tenants could even tour the finished product, shows the unprecedented demand for brand new, Class A housing in this area with a large list of amenities, a private parking garage, and a Shoma Bazaar with retail space on site. People are ready for a new standard of living in Hialeah.”
Shoma Village offers elevated, thoughtfully designed common and living spaces by architecture and design firm MSA Architects. Floorplans at Shoma Village range from studios measuring about 640 square feet to three-bedroom units totaling about 1,370 square feet. The units offer a bright and lively atmosphere, boasting chic barn doors, spacious walk-in and linen closets, and an inviting wood-style flooring throughout each apartment. They also include private balconies, energy efficient hurricane-impact windows, Honeywell PRO programmable thermostats, and Whirlpool front-load washers. Kitchens and bathrooms feature quartz and Marble-Lite countertops, designer vanities, a rain showerhead, and an oversized soaking bathtub. Tech-savvy security upgrades include fingerprint readers, keyless entry, and ButterflyMX video intercoms that allow residents to easily and securely let in visitors from their smartphones.
Residents have access to a wide array of amenities for their entertainment and leisure. These include a fully equipped fitness center with yoga, spinning, and an interactive mirror, a private conference room, and a two-story clubroom with extra large LED TVs, kitchens, and a pool table. Outdoor amenities include a large pool with a gazebo and courtyard, a playground, a grilling area, and a dog park. As with other Shoma developments, pet owners will have the additional benefit of an on-site Evolution Pet Spa.
The apartments will be anchored by a 22,000-square-foot Shoma Bazaar food hall and 12,000 square feet of on-site retail shops. In addition, a night concierge, covered and gated parking garage, and electric car station will provide extra safety and convenience for residents as they come and go from the property.
“We could not be happier with the amazing reception that Shoma Village has seen and we look forward to continuing that momentum as we lease the second tower,” said Stephanie Shojaee, President of Shoma Group. “We have put our heart and soul into carefully selecting every color, finish, and feature to make Shoma Village an exemplary and enjoyable live-work-play community for Hialeah. I am very excited to introduce it to the community and welcome people into their new, luxurious homes.”
Upon moving in, residents will receive housewarming gifts from Kris Jenner's home care line, Safely, including complimentary plant-based cleaning products, and from Shoma, including a glass water bottle, coffee mug, hand sanitizer, duffle bag, and Lemon Perfect flavored water.
Shoma Village is located at 445 Hialeah Dr., Hialeah, FL 33010.
