New Office Building Coming To Broward & Fed

/in /by

Currently under construction just north of the intersection of Broward Boulevard and Federal Highway, office building 105 North Federal is planning to open this winter.

Adache Group Architects designed the 36,216-square-foot contemporary building with large angled glass features. Wood and metal paneling covers the exterior bringing different textures along with the glass. The prominent geometrical lines provide a new visual element that’s not seen around the gradually urbanizing area, where things are decidedly more… subdued.

105 North Federal takes residence on the south side of the up-and-coming Flagler Village, Lauderdale’s hip and pedestrian-centric enclave, and it is just a block from the massive 721-unit new rental property, Henry Square, which is scheduled to open this summer.
