Mill Creek Residential has submitted a rezoning application to transform a Pompano Beach car dealership site into a new eight-story apartment complex. The project, named Modera Pompano Beach, would add 347 residential units and commercial space to South Federal Highway.
Why it matters
This proposed development reflects the ongoing shift toward high-density, mixed-income housing on former commercial sites. If approved, the project will alter the local streetscape and add nearly 350 housing units to the area.
The proposal covers 4.1 acres of a 6.5-acre lot at 855-909 South Federal Highway. It features 347 apartments, 10,400 square feet of commercial space, and 457 garage parking spaces, with 50 units reserved for households earning up to 120 percent of the $97,600 area median income.
The players
Mill Creek Residential
A developer specializing in multi-family apartment communities.
Pompano Real Estate Investments LLC
The current owner of the South Federal Highway property.
The details
The developer seeks to change the property designation from general business to planned development-infill to accommodate an eight-story structure. The design replaces current car dealership infrastructure with residential units and a 10,500-square-foot clubhouse. The project aims to integrate commercial amenities with multi-family living in a high-density configuration.
Timeline
2012: The property at 855-909 South Federal Highway was purchased for $5.6 million.
October 28, 2026: The Pompano Beach planning and zoning board will review the rezoning request.
The Home Front
This rezoning request sits within the broader trend of converting underused commercial land into residential housing in high-density corridors. It follows local municipal strategies to increase housing supply by leveraging planned development-infill zoning regulations.
Local property owners and renters should track the outcome of the October 28 planning meeting to understand potential changes to neighborhood density and traffic. If approved, the construction timeline will provide insight into future noise levels and development activity on South Federal Highway.
The takeaway
The proposed Modera Pompano Beach project illustrates a significant densification of commercial land through the planned development-infill process. Interested parties should monitor the October 28 planning board hearing to confirm if the project moves to the next phase of municipal approval.
