Broward Crossing, a 4.2-acre mixed use mega development proposed for Downtown Fort Lauderdale has been approved by the City Commission. The developer behind the application is New York City’s Kushner Companies, who was seeking for a rezoning of the site to expand the city’s high-density zoning district further west. The development sites are located at 200, 300 and 520 West Broward Boulevard, currently occupied by some commercial buildings and outdoor parking lots, and may rise to be one of the city’s tallest towers within close proximity to Fort Lauderdale’s Brightline Station.

Envisioning The Future Supertalls Of The City Of Miami

8:00 am on April 26, 2021 By Oscar Nunez

In recent years, the city of Miami has seen an influx of proposals for supertall skyscrapers; this supertall is defined as a building reaching the height of 300 meters or greater, or a minimum of 984 feet. Various developers have put together elite teams of architects and engineers to bring the phenomenon to South Florida, yet as of today, none have been constructed. Skyscraper construction is no myth in the area as the city’s skyline is densely packed with hundreds of high rises, and perhaps even some that visually appear to come close to 300 meters, but a legitimate supertall has yet to come to fruition. This could be due to various factors, such as funding or engineering obstacles; maybe in the past the demand wasn’t there. But what we do know is that the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, has approved a handful of supertall skyscraper proposals. These are the most recently proposed and approved projects.
