A Site Plan Level III application has been filed to redevelop Cypress Creek Station in Fort Lauderdale, with plans for a new Target store at 6415 North Andrews Avenue. The Development Review Committee (DRC) and Planning and Zoning Board will review the proposed site plans today. Spearheaded by Cypress Creek Associates LP, the project involves replacing the existing Regal Cinema, Sola Salons, and former Office Depot buildings with a 121,633-square-foot Target store. Designed by RSP Architects, the development seeks to transform the shopping center into a modernized retail hub while adhering to zoning regulations.

The plans include detailed proposals for civil, landscape, and architectural elements, as well as a parking analysis and traffic statement, as the project team seeks approval for a parking reduction that triggers the Level III review. The redevelopment would increase the site’s retail area from 176,098 square feet to 264,788 square feet, following the demolition of the 2,800-seat movie theater and reconfiguration of the shopping center. KBP Consulting’s traffic analysis suggests the shift from entertainment to retail use will not exceed thresholds requiring a comprehensive traffic impact study, offering a more consistent traffic pattern.

The redevelopment team, led by Brandon Reynolds, Director of Development for Cypress Creek Associates LP, emphasizes that the project aligns with the area’s zoning and design standards. Situated at the northwest corner of North Andrews Avenue and West Cypress Creek Road, the updated shopping center will provide expanded retail options for the growing community.

They had the opportunity to redevelop this space into a mixed use retail, residential, and office space by building them on the parking lot. But instead they’re building a traditional big box store with the same surface parking lot. This could’ve been consider TOD with the Tri-Rail close by too.
