Broward County is experiencing a surge of high-rise development along the Fort Lauderdale beach corridor and downtown, driven by migration from the Northeast and Latin America. The county's land use plan amendment process is a key signal for major projects, as developers must obtain approval from the Broward County Planning Council before municipalities can rezone parcels for higher-intensity uses. The cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pompano Beach are especially active with mixed-use and transit-oriented proposals. Coastal development regulations, DRI (Development of Regional Impact) thresholds, and environmental impact requirements add complexity to larger projects, making early tracking of commission agendas critical for developers operating in Southeast Florida.
