The right place depends on the right project.
A location can have a compelling public plan and still be the wrong purchase at the wrong land price. Start with the strategy, then test the individual parcel.

6 markets to explore
01 / BROWARD COUNTYMultifamily & infill
South Andrews / Fort Lauderdale
A district with an evolving redevelopment vision.
Documented activity
Fort Lauderdale is advancing a South Regional Activity Center vision process focused on future growth, building form, streetscapes, and redevelopment. Proposed changes should be distinguished from adopted parcel-level entitlements.
Potential fit to investigate
Investigate infill residential sites, existing multifamily improvements, and redevelopment where the current zoning supports the intended use.
Before you buy
Confirm the exact zoning district, adopted versus proposed rules, site access, parking, flood exposure, and any conditions attached to housing incentives.
Infrastructure planning as a redevelopment signal.
Documented activity
The City of Pompano Beach’s May 2026 update describes the next phase of Downtown infrastructure procurement, including utilities, stormwater, landscaping, and site lighting.
Potential fit to investigate
Investigate residential infill and mixed-use concepts within the appropriate districts, using current infrastructure and development plans as part of a site-specific review.
Before you buy
Confirm CRA boundaries, ownership, adopted entitlements, infrastructure delivery, competing supply, and whether a site is actually available. A public initiative does not make neighboring parcels buildable.
An established urban setting with development activity.
Documented activity
Hollywood’s 2026 Development Activity Report identifies Downtown residential and mixed-use activity. The city’s CRA also publishes Downtown and Beach district redevelopment information.
Potential fit to investigate
Investigate infill housing, mixed-use concepts, and existing building repositioning where the use and physical design fit the specific parcel.
Before you buy
Check parking, access, unit mix, competition, any historic or design constraints, and the separate rules for Downtown versus beach properties.
A city-led focus on connected neighborhood investment.
Documented activity
West Palm Beach’s CRA identifies Northwood/Pleasant City, Broadway, and the Currie Corridor in its redevelopment strategy, including mixed-use opportunities and walkability improvements.
Potential fit to investigate
Investigate residential infill, existing apartment renovations, and compatible mixed-use sites around the relevant corridors.
Before you buy
Confirm historic-district or preservation review, current zoning, parcel dimensions, corridor boundaries, attainable rents, and the status of nearby projects.
A downtown framework that rewards careful site review.
Documented activity
The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council describes the Downtown Parcels Master Plan, adopted in January 2023, developed with the city and CRA to study redevelopment concepts for specific publicly owned parcels.
Potential fit to investigate
Investigate context-sensitive infill and existing property improvements. Treat the adopted study as planning context, rather than evidence that a public site is offered for sale.
Before you buy
Verify ownership, procurement or disposition status, historic context, design standards, parking, and whether the studied concepts are permitted on the parcel being considered.
Residential and corridor redevelopment to evaluate.
Documented activity
The North Miami CRA’s plan describes a focus on Downtown, mixed-use and residential development, and key corridors. Its current-projects page identifies residential projects that have received CRA consideration or support.
Potential fit to investigate
Investigate multifamily infill, building improvements, and corridor sites that satisfy current zoning and infrastructure requirements.
Before you buy
Confirm CRA boundaries, current approvals, utility capacity, traffic and access, achievable rents, and whether any incentive is actually available to the proposed project.
Verify the site. Confirm ownership, survey, title matters, access, and existing improvements.
Confirm the entitlement path. Separate adopted rules and approvals from proposed changes and incentive eligibility.
Test the build. Review massing, setbacks, parking, utilities, drainage, flood exposure, and specialist requirements.
Underwrite the outcome. Use current comparable evidence and a complete cost model, including contingency and carrying costs.
Location observations are a research starting point. Potential project fit is Palm Yazdani’s editorial inference from the cited planning context, not a feasibility conclusion or a promise of approval, appreciation, rent, or return. Public plans, incentives, and project status can change. Confirm current information and complete independent financial, legal, design, and property due diligence.
