As the leading land surveyors in Hialeah, Florida, we’re proud to once again support the Hoffman Gardens Phase 2 Redevelopment—one of the city’s most impactful affordable housing projects. Earlier this year, our team at Florida Building & Land Surveying completed a detailed Topographic Survey for the site, providing engineers and architects with the precise data they needed to begin designing with confidence. That foundational work has now proven essential, as we recently returned to the property to complete a full ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, ensuring the project aligns with the requirements of lenders, title companies, and regulatory agencies.
Witnessing Rapid Construction Progress
When we conducted our original topo survey, the site was open, active, and in the early stages of transformation. Returning months later, we were greeted by an impressive sight: two brand-new five-story apartment buildings rising from the ground, moving at a pace that reflects both the urgency and importance of this development. Seeing a project go from raw terrain to near-completion is always rewarding, but witnessing how quickly Hoffman Gardens Phase 2 has taken shape reinforces why accurate surveying at every stage is so critical.
Our Topographic Survey laid the groundwork for proper design, grading, drainage planning, and utility layout. That accuracy directly contributed to the smooth execution engineers and contractors relied on as they built upward. Now, the ALTA Survey serves as the final layer of verification—ensuring every improvement, easement, encroachment, and boundary fits exactly where it belongs.
The Challenges and Rewards of Surveying in Active Construction Zones
Working in an active construction area is always an interesting experience—and Hoffman Gardens was no exception. Between machinery moving constantly, crews working on tight schedules, and materials being delivered throughout the day, navigating the site requires both skill and coordination. Surveyors must remain alert, patient, and precise, even when conditions change minute-by-minute.
But these environments also represent some of the most rewarding work we do. There’s nothing quite like collecting critical ALTA data while watching a project come alive around you. Standing inside a structure that didn’t exist just months earlier, confirming slab locations, measuring building footprints, and tying into control points we originally set during the topo—it’s a full-circle moment that shows the value and continuity of professional surveying.
A Project That Strengthens the Community
Once complete, Hoffman Gardens Phase 2 will add 285 new affordable homes to the Hialeah community—a significant contribution at a time when families are facing rising housing costs and limited availability. Projects like this don’t just reshape the physical landscape; they reshape lives. They create stability, opportunity, and growth for the families who will soon call these new buildings home.
Being involved from the earliest phases through ALTA verification is something our team takes great pride in. We’re not just marking points on a map—we’re helping to build the foundation for the future of Hialeah.
