Croissant Park North & South Planned to Deliver 4 Towers in Fort Lauderdale
https://floridiandevelopment.com/croissa...-to-deliver-4-towers-in-fort-lauderdale/

A new multi-tower development has just been proposed in Fort Lauderdale under Florida’s Live Local Act. Filed by South Andrews Holdings LLC, affiliated with Fort Lauderdale-based Murphy Property Group, plans by the developer call for a four-tower development on the edge of the Poinciana Park neighborhood. Coined ‘Croissant Park North’ and ‘Croissant Park South’, the development will rise at 1711 S Andrews Avenue and 1801 S Andrews Avenue, set to replace multiple low-rising structures. While development in the Poinciana Park neighborhood is not out of the norm in recent years, this development will mark the tallest and densest structures in the area, assisted by sweeping development benefits under the Live Local Act.

If built, the project would deliver 932 units in total, with 466 apartments in both Croissant Park North and Croissant Park South. Each pair of towers will also include 187 workforce housing units, bringing the total to 374. In doing so, the proposal meets Live Local Act requirements, which mandate that 40% of units be set aside as workforce housing and that at least 65% of the development be residential.

This looks appropiate for the area (https://www.google.com/maps/place/1711+S..._ep=EgoyMDI1MDgxMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), and I hope the city can approve this ASAP, as well as the developer builds this. While Miami is the city I like to talk about, Ft Lauderdale is the city I'd love to live in just because it's seemingly more diverse than Miami. Only gripe is that it's not tall enough (I love saying that), but lets build this just to grow Ft Lauderdale's population and make it more dense.

This is a huge development and will create its own mini skyline south of downtown. Now all we need is commuter rail on the FEC/Brightline tracks.

Is the PREMO lightrail/commuter rail/ BRT program still on track ?

I haven't heard any news as of late, other than the City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County differ on how to get over/under the New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale for the east side commuter rail (the issue is that the current bridge would need to be in the closed position so much that that it would hinder boat traffic). I believe the FLL airport/Port Everglades seaport connection is the furthest along in planning amongst the transit projects.
