Hines’ T3 FAT Village Goes Vertical

March 9, 2025/in News/by SFOBA STAFF

Blanca Commercial Real Estate, in collaboration with Hines, the global real estate investment manager, and Urban Street Development, announced that construction is underway on T3 FAT Village, an innovative office component within the larger 5.5-acre FAT Village development currently under construction at 501 Andrews Avenue in Downtown Fort Lauderdale.

With an anticipated delivery in November 2026, T3 FAT Village is the only new office project of its kind currently rising in the Fort Lauderdale market. The office portion of the master plan marks a significant milestone as the first mass timber office building in the region and sets new standards for sustainability and innovation in South Florida’s commercial real estate landscape.

“With its cutting-edge timber design and unparalleled sustainability, T3 FAT Village is set to become the heartbeat of Fort Lauderdale’s office scene, attracting visionary companies eager to redefine their workspaces,” said Tere Blanca, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “It is an honor to play a role in delivering such an innovative project to our community.”

As the only new office building in Fort Lauderdale, T3 FAT Village stands out with its innovative mass timber construction, offering tenants a unique blend of sustainability and modern design that is unmatched in the market. The project is the latest addition to Hines’ acclaimed T3 (Timber, Transit, Technology) portfolio, delivering unparalleled access to transit, cutting-edge design, and a focus on sustainability. Catering to modern businesses seeking collaborative and efficient workspaces, T3 FAT Village underscores Fort Lauderdale’s commitment to progressive development and increased involvement in reshaping the office market in South Florida.

The broader FAT Village development, which broke ground in March 2024, spans 5.6 acres across the vibrant Flagler Village neighborhood. This integrated, mixed-use creative office, retail, and residential urban development celebrates the history and artistic spirit of the area. This dynamic new district will add to Fort Lauderdale’s live-work-play urban environment, introducing curated food and beverage options, entertainment, and art galleries alongside the workplace component.

Conveniently located within walking distance of Fort Lauderdale’s Brightline station, FAT Village provides seamless connections to Miami, Aventura, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and Orlando. Its proximity to cultural attractions, the Las Olas corridor, major highways, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and Port Everglades add to its appeal as a hub for urban connectivity.

“As the first mass timber office building in the region, T3 FAT Village is not just changing the skyline, it is redefining how we think about workspace design, sustainability, and urban living in Fort Lauderdale,” said Christina Jolley, Senior Vice President & Broward Market Leader at Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “FAT Village combines sustainability, wellness, and accessibility, and is set to become the new center of gravity for Fort Lauderdale,” she added.

The first phase of the development will feature 180,000 square feet of creative office space in the East Building, along with 600 multifamily residential units spanning over 400,000 square feet. Additionally, experiential retail spaces will anchor the base of every building, encompassing approximately 80,000 square feet, with the total project size reaching over 800,000 square feet.

“T3 FAT Village is more than a building, it is a bold statement about where Fort Lauderdale’s future is headed,” said Alan Kennedy, Managing Director at Hines. “By combining cutting-edge sustainability with innovative design, we are creating a workspace that will set a new standard for the area. As Fort Lauderdale continues to grow dynamically, T3 FAT Village will stand as a benchmark for the next generation of businesses seeking to thrive in a modern, connected, and environmentally conscious landscape,” he added.

The office component of T3 features a heavy timber design that avoids over a thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions – the equivalent to taking 996 cars off the road – while also supporting sustainable forestry practices by using young trees instead of old-growth timber. Other features include touchless technologies for enhanced hygiene, LEED Gold Certification, and WiredScore Certification, ensuring a best-in-class technology experience. From panoramic views and private outdoor balconies to a state-of-the-art fitness center and social workspaces, T3 FAT Village delivers the ultimate modern office experience designed for both productivity and wellness. Set to deliver in November 2026, T3 FAT Village is poised to become the epicenter of innovation and sustainability in Fort Lauderdale’s growing office scene.

PPG Development Hopes To Bring Class A Office Building To Broward

March 2, 2025/in News/by SFOBA STAFF

Ari Pearl’s PPG Development has submitted plans for a 25-story office tower in Hallandale Beach, positioned opposite its Shell Bay development. Shell Bay features an upscale country club with a golf course, luxury residences, a hotel, and premium condos still being built. PPG Development intends to relocate its headquarters to this new tower from its current spot within Shell Bay.

Pearl describes the project as a unique Class A office building, unmatched in South Florida for its extensive amenities. Located at 1800 E. Hallandale Beach Blvd. on a 14-acre plot, the tower will offer 235,664 square feet of office space, 10,862 square feet of retail, and 885 parking spaces. Its indoor perks will span 18,851 square feet and include a pool, spa, cold plunge, gym, sauna, steam room, massage area, sports lounge, lockers, collaborative workspaces, and a playroom for kids. Outside, tenants can enjoy padel ball, pickleball, a jogging path, and a lounge area.

This mix of residential-style features sets it apart from most South Florida office towers, which typically lack such offerings unless paired with condos or hotels. Pearl notes that companies expanding in the region increasingly seek top-tier offices with extras that go beyond standard Class A designs, catering to a lifestyle where convenience is key.

Designed by Miami’s Kobi Karp Architecture, the tower’s floor sizes will range from 19,120 to 20,125 square feet. Pearl has enlisted Cushman & Wakefield to promote the office space, with marketing set to begin within 30 to 60 days, aiming for a groundbreaking in six months. This would mark Broward County’s only significant office project outside downtown Fort Lauderdale currently underway.

Pearl praises the site’s prime location, nestled between two major airports, near Aventura’s Brightline station, off I-95, and close to hotspots like Gulfstream Park, Aventura Mall, and Bal Harbour Shops. He points to the growing number of affluent residents in nearby areas like Sunny Isles Beach and Bal Harbour, where Class A office space is scarce. With global firms—think private equity, banks, and tech—flocking to South Florida, Pearl is confident the right tenants will fill the building, though he’s keeping rental rates under wraps for now.

The project, valued at $140 million per the city’s development list, awaits a city hearing. PPG Development, via PPG 1800 HBB Owner LLC, bought the land for $13.95 million in 2023.
