Plans have been submitted to the Department of Sustainable Development – Urban Design & Planning seeking approval for the construction of Esmonda Townhomes in the Croissant Park neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Addressed as 843-849 Southwest 14th Court, the site sits on the northeastern corner of SW 9th Ave. and SW 14th Ct., and currently is occupied by 2 single-story homes built in 1970 yielding 4 units in total. The new proposal looks to develop 8 two-story townhomes in a cluster development occupying 2 lots grossing 25,807 square feet in total site area. East Coast Realty is the owner of the applications under the 777 Townhomes, LLC.

Each two-story townhome will rise to a maximum height of 32-feet, and combined will yield a total 24,400 square feet; an average of approximately 3,050 square feet per residence. All units will feature nearly identical floor plans, which consists of a great room, kitchen, powder room and dining room + access to a 2-car garage on the first floor; the second floor will be dedicated to the 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, and a den if included. Each home will also have a private outdoor pool as well as a private rooftop patio. The shared driveway dividing the homes into two sections will be connected to SW 9th Ave.

Renderings reveal the architectural style selected for the project; a modern contemporary design by FieldAgency Architecture utilizing coquina stone and tongue & groove wood cladding on certain elevations. There are hints of black and white smooth stucco throughout the home, and aluminum frames for the dark-tinted glass windows. Chris Cabezas Landscaping will layout ample greenery to the open spaces. The combined choice of materials and landscaping make for an elegantly-designed townhome.

The plans could be better….looks like the Architect’s don’t care enough: who wants a bathroom door next to your pillow? No space behind the chairs for the kitchen island seating. Try harder!
