Hallandale Beach is emerging as the next Broward County development target with a surge of projects entering the city’s pipeline. Projects underway include residential towers, a branded hotel and an office development. 

Hallandale’s appeal is twofold: Rising prices in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties are pushing buyers into Broward, and the city’s location between Miami and Fort Lauderdale makes it an attractive base, said Scott Patterson, who leads the Scott Patterson Group and specializes in luxury and waterfront real estate throughout Hallandale Beach and South Florida.

“People come here to make babies; they don’t [just] come here to vacation anymore,” he told The Real Deal. “So they’re moving their families and corporations here because everywhere else has gotten so expensive, and you can enjoy both lifestyles, living right in the middle of the bullseye.”

Here’s a breakdown of major developments in Hallandale Beach:

218-220 Southeast 7th Street | Seven Park Residences | Kadima Developers

Alejandro Chaberman’s Kadima Developers is building a $70 million mixed-use project across the street from Peter Bluesten Park. The eight-story Seven Park project will have 121 condos, 300,000 square feet of amenities and 4,500 square feet of retail space. 

Residences range from studios to three-bedroom units, spanning 500 to 1,650 square feet. They start at $375,000, according to a press release. Chaberman said that with an average price of $750 per square foot, Seven Park targets buyers priced out of newer luxury condos but who are wary of less-expensive aging buildings. 

“You have the old buildings with all the assessment issues, which are in the range of $600 a foot, and then you have most of the new construction, which are over $950 a foot, so we found this niche market,” he said. 

Chaberman, who’s been investing in Hallandale for the last 12 to 14 years, said the city’s central location and developer-friendly attitude makes it an attractive place for developments and investment. 

Seven Park is 60 percent sold, Chaberman said. It’s expected to be completed in the fall of next year. 

804 South Federal Highway | Homewood Suites by Hilton Hallandale | BH Group and Prime Group

A partnership between Aventura-based BH Group and Hollywood-based Prime Group is bringing a Hilton-branded hotel to the area near Gulfstream Park. BH, led by Isaac and Liat Toledano, and Prime, led by Larry Abbo, are planning a 15-story hotel with 246 rooms and 281 parking spaces. The project has evolved from the joint venture’s previous concept, which was a 14-story mixed-use development with 138 condo-hotel units, 60 traditional hotel rooms and 4,000 square feet of retail space, The Real Deal previously reported

In exchange for the one-story height increase, the developers are dedicating 7.5 percent of the property for open civic space and street improvements. The Hallandale Beach Planning and Zoning Board also approved a mechanical lift for 40 valet parking spaces. The hotel is expected to be completed by 2028. 

400 West Hallandale Beach Boulevard | Square Hallandale | Four West Developers

Four West Developers, a partnership between Alejandro Chaberman, Asher and Arie Abadi and Jonathan Eisenband, is planning an $85 million office development with  retail and residential. Square Hallandale will be an eight-story, 360,000-square-foot development with office suites, 18,000 square feet of amenities and eight ground-floor retail spaces. Office condos start at $199,000 and range from 250 to 1,770 square feet, according to a news release. 

Business-specific amenities include conference rooms, a podcast studio and a library. Lifestyle amenities include pickleball and padel courts, a social lounge, a fitness center and a cold plunge pool. The ground floor will have a civic plaza, seating areas and retail spaces ranging from 1,520 to 2,400 square feet. 

Four West Developers partner Asher Abadi said the office development brings residential amenities and wellness concepts to the workplace. 

“People spend most of their time at work,” he said. “You go home just to have dinner and to sleep. So why wouldn’t we have our high-end amenities in the office building, where we spend most of our day?”

Square Hallandale is 66 percent reserved, Abadi said. Construction is expected to begin at the end of next year with completion slated for the end of 2028. 

Abadi said Hallandale is a “hidden gem,” but development in neighboring Hollywood and Aventura is drawing more attention to the city of about 43,000 people. With wealth continuing to migrate into Broward from Miami and Palm Beach, he expects interest in Hallandale to keep growing.

“It still has a few years of discovery, but it already started, and once it starts, it’s hard to stop,” he said. “I’ve seen it in many parts of the [region], and I think Hallandale is the next one.”

1000 East Hallandale Boulevard | Oasis Hallandale | Giuseppe Iadisernia

Developer Giuseppe Iadisernia is building Oasis Hallandale, a 10-acre mixed-use development with 500 residential units and 95,000 square feet of commercial space. The project comprises two 25-story towers each with 250 units ranging from 900 to 4,750 square feet, YIMBY reported. The west tower is on track for delivery this year, while the east tower is slated for completion next year.

Last year, Iadisernia secured a $112 million construction loan from S3 capital for the east tower, TRD previously reported, bringing the project’s financing up to $197 million. Sales for the east tower have launched, according to Oasis Hallandale’s website. The west tower is 75 percent sold.

Amenities include two pools, indoor and outdoor movie theaters, a lounge bar, a fitness center and a golf simulator. The project’s ground-floor retail space and integrated office space has been leased by tenants including KC Market, Oasis Fit, Elve Luxury, Oasis Dental and Davinci Cafe.

501 Diplomat Parkway | The Residences at Shell Bay | PPG Development and Witkoff Group

Ari Pearl’s PPG Development and Witkoff Group are constructing The Residences at Shell Bay, a 20-story luxury condo with 108 private residences and a 60-room Auberge resort hotel. The project, financed with a $273 million loan from J.P. Morgan and BDT&MSD Partners, sits within the 150-acre Shell Bay Club, one of the region’s most exclusive golf destinations. 

Residences start at $2 million and go up to $10 million, spanning 1,250 to 2,600 square feet, according to Miami Residence. Amenities will include a full-service medical day spa, pools and cabanas, a fine dining restaurant and an orchid garden. 

Completion is slated for next year. 

501 Northeast 7th Street | Greenzone | Kadima Developers and Persea Ventures

Chaberman’s Kadima Developers and Mateo Pugliese-Bassi’s Persea Ventures have plans to redevelop the 3.1-acre former Big Easy Casino parking lot into two eight-story buildings with 278 residential units and nearly 18,000 square feet of retail. 

Greenzone will have 54 efficiency units averaging 500 square feet, 168 one-bedroom units at 740 square feet and 56 two-bedroom units at 1,050 square feet. The development will also have a 391-space parking structure with a rooftop deck. Other amenities include a pool, spa, clubhouse and two pickleball courts. 

Kadima acquired the site with the $31.1 million purchase of a 12-acre parcel from billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, who bought the 28-acre former Big Easy Casino for $12.5 million in 2018. The developer then sold the Greenzone portion to Persea for $12 million. 

Kadima will be the project manager for the development, which is still in the permitting and approvals phase. 

200 East Pembroke Road | Parks at Hallandale | 13th Floor Investments

13th Floor Investments, led by Arnaud Karsenti, is expected to complete a 15.5-acre multifamily development this summer. The first two residential buildings with 100 units began accepting tenants in April. The remaining five buildings will have 298 units. The project has apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments with 600 to 1,400 square feet and asking rents of $2,100 to $4,200. Amenities include a clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts, greenway and fitness center. 

Parks at Hallandale will also have 6,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a standalone retail building, according to Multifamily & Affordable Housing Business. The development’s total cost is estimated at $89 million. The project is being financed with a $83 million construction loan. 

216 Southeast Eighth Street | Blue Park | Two4 Group

Aventura-based Two4 Group, led by Bryan Cohen, Jonathan Cohen and Alexander Cohen, is planning a multifamily development for the 1.5-acre site at 216, 220 and 228 Southeast Eighth Street and 221 Southeast Ninth Street. 

The eight-story Blue Park project will include 173 apartments and 207 parking spaces, as well as a second-floor amenity deck with a gym, mini mart, pool, playground and barbecue area. There will be 36 studios, 94 one-bedrooms, 43 two-bedrooms and 28 workforce housing units. Apartments range from 460 to 1,270 square feet. 

The Cohens assembled the property for $5.4 million in 2024, the South Florida Business Journal reported. The project’s cost is estimated at $40 million. Completion is slated for the second quarter of 2028.
