Futuristic design for new City Hall a winner for Fort Lauderdale
The new Fort Lauderdale City Hall would be a sexy landmark, curvy and futuristic — nothing like the boxy old gray bunker taken out by the flood of April 2023.
On Tuesday night, commissioners ranked four development teams vying to build the new City Hall. One activist referred to the competition as a beauty contest. In the end, the team with the most head-turning design snared the top ranking.
The rankings, from first to last: FTL City Hall Partners, Balfour Beatty, Fort Lauderdale Civic Partners and FTL Beacon Collaborative.
“I looked at all the designs and clearly the one that stands out is the FTL City Hall Partners,” Mayor Dean Trantalis said. “Let’s do something that’s going to last through the ages, something that we can be identified with and that people will respect and say, ‘Wow, look what Fort Lauderdale has done.’ It sets the tone for what future development should look like in Fort Lauderdale.”
Under the timeline projected by the top-ranked team, the City Tall tower would open by May 2029. The parking garage (a six-level, open-air parking podium designed to accommodate 1,000 vehicles) and a separate building for the commission chambers would open by May 2028...........CLICK ARTICLE LINK FOR MORE
