Following a $220m construction loan secured last December, the commencement of construction marks a milestone in the project’s timeline.  

The 5.6-acre mixed-use urban development in Fort Lauderdale is hoped to transform the district and foster an authentic community at the centre of Flagler Village.  

Hines managing director Alan Kennedy said: “FAT Village will pay homage to and retain the neighbourhood’s creative spirit and artistic presence while creating a lively destination that will engage the community and enhance Fort Lauderdale’s urban fabric.” 

The development is anticipated to bolster the Fort Lauderdale economy, attract investors, and generate jobs.
