Two newly built homes near Kendall’s Killian Drive corridor sold in 2026 for more than $1,000 per square foot, a level well above typical new-construction pricing across the area. The closings offer evidence of a high-end market emerging near the route into Pinecrest—but two transactions alone do not establish a new benchmark for all of Kendall.
Key takeaways
- Two corridor homes sold for $5.8 million and $5 million, at $1,058 and $1,068.60 per square foot, respectively.
- Kendall’s broader new-construction range for homes priced from $1.5 million to $5 million is estimated at roughly $700 to $800 per square foot.
- Land asking prices in the cited examples ranged from about $18.60 to $44.53 per square foot, depending on location and parcel size.
- The sales point to a possible luxury pocket, not proof that every Kendall location can command similar prices.
Two sales put the corridor in a new tier
A market analysis by the David Siddons Group identifies two 2026 sales near the Killian Drive/SW 112th Street corridor as evidence of Kendall’s upper end gaining ground. A 5,481-square-foot estate at 9790 SW 114th Street sold for $5.8 million, or $1,058 per square foot. At 8998 SW 108th Street, a 4,679-square-foot home closed for $5 million, or $1,068.60 per square foot.
The analysis also cites two other Kendall new-construction sales at approximately $945 and $960 per square foot. Together, the figures suggest a premium segment forming around the corridor, which connects Kendall with Pinecrest. They remain a small sample, however, and should not be read as a neighborhood-wide average.
Land prices vary sharply by location
The examples in the analysis show how parcel location can affect a project’s starting cost. Land near Killian was priced at about $44.53 per square foot, while a central Kendall example was roughly $40.36. A western Kendall parcel was about $29.63 per square foot, and a larger, far-west property was around $18.60.
| Example location | Price | Approx. land price per square foot |
|---|---|---|
| Killian/SW 112th corridor | $1.8 million | $44.53 |
| Central Kendall | $1.6 million | $40.36 |
| Western Kendall | $1.51 million | $29.63 |
| Far west, about 4.3 acres | $3.5 million | $18.60 |
These figures are examples, not a comprehensive land-price survey. They nevertheless illustrate why developers must assess individual sites rather than assume there is one Kendall-wide land value.
Location may matter as much as the house
At 9790 SW 114th Street, the property sold for $1.4 million in 2022 with an older home on the land; a newly constructed estate on the same site later sold for $5.8 million. The transformation shows the impact of redevelopment, but it does not isolate how much of the later price came from construction, market conditions or location.
A separate west-central Kendall estate, listed at $7.745 million, offers a caution against treating asking prices as proof of what buyers will pay. Its location differs from the Killian corridor, and a listing is not a completed sale. The comparison raises a question for builders: whether proximity to Pinecrest and buyer familiarity with particular corridors can support a higher finished-home value.
A luxury strategy needs to fit the micro-market
The analysis points to other Kendall-area pockets, including The Falls and the Baptist/Galloway corridor, as places with their own high-end residential activity. For builders, the implication is not simply to reproduce a Pinecrest-scale home farther west. The site, buyer expectations, design and amenities all need to align with the local market—and projected sale prices should be tested against comparable closed sales, not construction budgets or aspirational listings.
