The Broward County Commission will consider three major development projects their first crack at approval on Oct. 13, with a mix of apartments, townhomes, retail and hotels on the table.
The 152.7-acre mixed-use College Crossings Two project in Davie would add more residential, commercial and hospitality density under a revision to it development plan.
The vacant property is on the south side of Interstate 595 between Davie Road and Florida’s Turnpike. The new development plans calls for 350 townhomes, 356 mid-rise units, 106 garden apartments, 439,965 square feet of commercial/retail space, and hotels of 124 rooms and 65 rooms.
That differs from the development plan the county approved in February 2014. The developer wants to remove a 20,000-square-foot bank from the plan while increasing the allowable commercial space by about 100,000 square feet, adding the garden apartments and mid-rise units and adding the 65-unit hotel.
The property is owned by Forman Industrial Land, managed by former bank executive Miles Austin Forman. The application states that national apartment developer Greystar would built 288 of the midrise units and the 106 garden apartments and WaterWalk Real Estate Services would build the remaining 68 midrise units and the 65-room hotel.
The developer is represented by Craven Thompson & Associates.
