To meet South Florida’s increasing demand for affordable housing, Merrimac Ventures has secured approval for a $90 million housing project in Plantation, FL. The six-story multi-family apartment complex will comprise 293,945 square feet of new construction, as well as 306 units.
Applications have been submitted to the Central City Redevelopment Advisory Board seeking the approval for the design and development of South Middle River Lofts, a 5-story mixed-use apartment complex proposed for 1123 Northeast 4th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. Designed by Atlas Architects and developed by Chicago-based East Lake Management Group under the 1123 NE 4th Ave FL LLC, the project yields 84,207 square feet of space across 60 residential units, 2,250 square feet of commercial space and 120 parking spaces.
Westfield Broward Mall, known colloquially to residents as “the Broward Mall,” opened its doors in 1978––just 12 years before its largest competitor, Sawgrass Mills Mall, commenced operations. Now, after serving Plantation, FL, for nearly 40 years, the property has been surrendered to its lender.
The City of Sunrise, home to Sawgrass Mills Mall, is expecting a new city hall. The current structure, which is a stark contrast to the updated buildings around it, will be demolished sometime within the next year. The new 100,000 square foot facility will serve as office space for city employees, utility offices, and local politicians.
Dennis Wright, President and CEO of Simply I.T., Inc is venturing in to the lucrative world of real estate development with the unveiling of a mixed-use project addressed as 1217 – 1223 Northwest 6th Street in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s Homes Beautiful Park neighborhood. The owner of the applications has tapped KAP Architecture to design a 6-story structure set to rise on 3 combined parcels of land forming an interior lot bounded by Sistrunk Blvd. to the south, NW 12th Ave. to the east, NW 6th Ct. to the north, and NW 13th Ter. the west.
