Bachow seeks boost in density for downtown Fort Lauderdale tower

Bachow Ventures is looking to squeeze more value out of its Fort Lauderdale tower, proposing 62 additional units as part of a revised plan to increase the development’s density. The Miami -based developer first secured approval in April 2023 for a proposed redevelopment of the 33,600-square-foot lot
Key takeaway In December 2023, the city approved an amendment to the proposal, allowing for an additional 14 stories reaching 385 feet tall and 1,500 square feet of commercial space.
Why this matters in The Miami
The proposal to increase density in the downtown Fort Lauderdale tower is noteworthy for Miami residents, given the similarity in urban development challenges faced by both cities. As Miami continues to experience growth in areas like Brickell and Wynwood, the approach taken by Fort Lauderdale to balance density and community needs will be closely watched. The fact that Bachow Ventures, a Miami-based developer, is driving this project in Fort Lauderdale suggests that the company is looking to apply its expertise in navigating South Florida's complex development landscape to other cities in the region. This revised plan may have implications for how Miami-Dade County approaches similar proposals in its own downtown areas, particularly in terms of managing the trade-offs between increased density, commercial space, and residential units.
