Hallandale Beach is emerging as Broward County’s next major development target, with a surge of residential, hotel, and office projects entering the city’s pipeline. The small city of roughly 43,000 residents, situated between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, is attracting developers priced out of neighboring markets as costs continue to rise in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
The appeal of Hallandale Beach is twofold, according to Scott Patterson, who leads the Scott Patterson Group and specializes in luxury and waterfront real estate throughout the area. Rising prices in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach are pushing buyers into Broward, and the city’s central location makes it an attractive base for families and businesses seeking access to both markets.
Among the most significant projects underway is Seven Park Residences, a $70 million mixed-use development by Kadima Developers. The eight-story project, located at 218-220 Southeast 7th Street across from Peter Bluesten Park, will feature 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, with starting prices at $375,000. Developer Alejandro Chaberman said the project targets buyers priced out of newer luxury condos but wary of aging buildings with assessment issues. Seven Park is currently 60 percent sold and is expected to be completed in fall 2027.
BH Group and Prime Group are bringing a Hilton-branded hotel to the area near Gulfstream Park. The partnership, between Aventura-based BH Group led by Isaac and Liat Toledano and Hollywood-based Prime Group led by Larry Abbo, is planning a 15-story Homewood Suites by Hilton with 246 rooms and 281 parking spaces at 804 South Federal Highway. The hotel is expected to be completed by 2028.
On the office front, 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 components. Square Hallandale, at 400 West Hallandale Beach Boulevard, 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. Business-specific amenities include conference rooms, a podcast studio, and a library, alongside lifestyle features such as pickleball and padel courts, a social lounge, a fitness center, and a cold plunge pool. The project is 66 percent reserved, with construction expected to begin at the end of 2027.
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. Condo prices start at $750,000 and go up to $5 million. The west tower has secured a temporary certificate of occupancy for floors one through 12 and is 85 percent sold, with closings expected to begin in the coming weeks. The east tower, financed with a $112 million construction loan from S3 Capital, has topped out and is slated for completion next year.
At the luxury end of the market, PPG Development and Witkoff Group are constructing The Residences at Shell Bay, a 20-story 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.
The wave of development reflects a broader shift in South Florida’s real estate geography. As Miami-Dade County’s prime corridors have become increasingly expensive, developers and buyers have pushed northward into Broward, transforming previously overlooked cities into emerging submarkets. Hallandale Beach’s developer-friendly attitude and central location have made it a natural beneficiary of this trend.
For a city that has long existed in the shadow of its larger neighbors, the development pipeline represents a turning point. As Four West Developers partner Asher Abadi noted, Hallandale still has a few years of discovery ahead, but the momentum has started — and once it starts, it tends to be difficult to stop.
The scale of investment flowing into Hallandale Beach is remarkable for a city of its size. Combined, the projects in the pipeline represent hundreds of millions of dollars in construction and thousands of new residential units, hotel rooms, and square feet of commercial space. The Seven Park Residences project alone, at $70 million, and the Square Hallandale office development at $85 million, demonstrate that developers see sufficient demand to justify substantial capital commitments.
The diversity of the pipeline is also noteworthy. While many South Florida development booms have been dominated by luxury condos, Hallandale’s pipeline includes mid-market condos, a branded hotel, an innovative office product, and a large-scale mixed-use development with significant commercial components. This diversification suggests that the city is attracting a broad range of buyers and tenants, not just the ultra-luxury segment that has driven much of the recent development in Miami-Dade County.
The city’s planning and zoning processes have generally been accommodating to developers, though not without conditions. The BH-Prime hotel project, for example, was required to dedicate 7.5 percent of its property for open civic space and street improvements in exchange for a one-story height increase. This kind of negotiation reflects a city that is open to development but also seeking to extract public benefits from the growth it is experiencing.
As Hallandale Beach continues its transformation, the key question is whether the city’s infrastructure — roads, schools, utilities — can keep pace with the rapid increase in population and commercial activity. The city’s planning department will face the challenge of managing growth while preserving the qualities that have made Hallandale attractive to developers and residents in the first place: its central location, relative affordability, and small-city character.
