DEAD - AHF Affordable Housing Project
The city denied this 15 story affordable housing project after nearby residents complained. The developers then sued, but eventually sold the land this year.

Michael Kahane, southern bureau chief for AHF in Fort Lauderdale, said it purchased the vacant land to build affordable housing and then purchased the townhouses to accommodate neighboring residents who weren't comfortable living next to affordable housing. Once the city rejected the affordable housing project, AHF decided to sell the property, he said.
"It's a little frustrating that the city of Fort Lauderdale has articulated that affordable and low-income housing is the number-one need of the city, but we weren't able to build a building that addresses that need," Kahane said.
