More development near the Brightline station in Fort Lauderdale appears imminent as the state of Florida prepares to auction off a large office building west of the Florida East Coast Railway tracks at 201 W. Broward Blvd.
A second tower on West Broward Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale would edge out a planned 570-foot sister building by 26 feet. The two projects by a joint venture of the Kushner Co. of New York and Aimco of Denver would form a plaza-like gateway to downtown west of the Florida East Coast Railway tracks.
The Fort Lauderdale city commission approved design waivers that will allow Broward Crossing, the proposed 546-foot mixed-use tower at 300 West Broward Boulevard, to proceed toward construction. The design deviated from city architectural requirements, and the project is a joint venture of Aimco of Denver and the Kushner companies of New York.
