Over the span of 15 years, Flagler Village has been transformed into one of the most walkable neighborhoods of Fort Lauderdale.
“I wish I had taken a video of how bad this neighborhood was,” said Charlie Ladd, president and principal of Barron Commercial Development and a board member of the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority (DDA). “It was a bunch of dilapidated rentals, duplexes and triplexes. It was a small slum, basically.”
But now, Flagler Village is packed with high-end apartment buildings with monthly rents that span from $3,000 to $4,800 a month, Ladd said.
That development has also helped enhance the size of Fort Lauderdale’s downtown area. According to a recent report from the DDA, 3,500 residential units have been built in Flagler Village in the past decade. Its population increased by 107% since 2010 and has nearly 7,000 residents. In addition, the median household income is about $140,000 a year, Ladd said.
And more development is on the way. The DDA estimates that 50% of downtown Fort Lauderdale’s projects are in Flagler Village.
On Nov. 14, Fort Lauderdale’s Development Review Committee is considering a developer’s plans for the half-acre site at 730 and 738 N.E. Fourth Ave. Albo Group wants to build apartments. See more details here.
And here are five more projects planned in Flagler Village.
