The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given clearance to 525 South Andrews Avenue, aka 525 Andrews, a 46-story mixed-use skyscraper planned for Downtown Fort Lauderdale. According to a new document recently posted to their website, the FAA has determined that “the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.” The structure will now be allowed to rise 491-feet, or 498-feet above sea level, and is designed by Dorsky + Yue International Architecture. Federal City Property Investors, LLC is the developer behind the project.
The site of the proposed tower is generally located on the southeast corner of the city block and bounded by Southwest 6th Street to the south, and Southwest 5th Street to the north with frontage along the western side of South Andrews avenue. The site is also just a few blocks south of Fort Lauderdale’s New River, the Las Olas neighborhood, and within close proximity to the Broward County Courthouse.
