Dependable Equities is proposing a 47-story rental tower in downtown Fort Lauderdale, adding to the Brooklyn developer’s pipeline of projects.

The plan by Dependable Equities, led by Isaac Schlesinger and Rabsky Group co-owner Simon Dushinsky, will go before the Fort Lauderdale Development Review Committee Tuesday. The developer is seeking site plan review approval for the proposed project at 633 Southeast Third Avenue.

The nearly 530-foot building would include 830 apartments, about 13,000 square feet of commercial/retail space, over 950 parking spaces and nearly 20,000 square feet of open space, according to the developer’s application. The residential units would start at 400 square feet. ODA, led by founder Eran Chen, is designing the plans.

It could mark the tallest tower in Fort Lauderdale, surpassing 100 Las Olas, which is just under 500 feet tall.

Dependable Equities affiliate South of River Association LLC paid $22.9 million for the 1.7-acre property in June, records show.
