Beach Development Projects

Hollywood Beach is attracting quality and experienced developers who are investing millions in condominium, hotel and mixed use projects along State Road A1A, also known as Ocean Drive.

The Hollywood Beach CRA is investing millions in public and aesthetic improvements to the beach, Broadwalk, street ends, and Hollywood Boulevard bridge. New water and sewer lines have been installed throughout the beach and Broadwalk area and trenching has been done to move the utility lines underground. A complete makeover of the 2.5 mile Broadwalk included the replacement of the existing concrete with colorful pavers and the addition of a low decorative wall to separate the Broadwalk from the sand. Finishing touches include old fashioned-style lighting, benches and pocket parks with public art and water features.

Development projects recently completed or currently underway include:

 

In the 1920's, a casino pool and cabana club was built on Hollywood Beach on the Atlantic Oceanfront between Johnson and Michigan Streets. It served as a signature showpiece for community demonstrating City Founder Joseph Young's dynamic vision for his new "Hollywood By The Sea" community. Alas, the buildings were extensively damaged in the 1926 hurricane and in 1928 the City of Hollywood bought the property and razed the remnants of the structures. Decades later, the City constructed a 675 car public parking garage and informal recreational space at the water’s edge. This new redevelopment project is expected to become a catalytic anchor to spawn additional appropriate redevelopment in the area; to incorporate a physical and/or programmatic public element that would allow it to serve as an unofficial village center or as a defining destination showpiece for the Beach and the City generally, to serve as an exemplary model of green construction with sensitivity to the fragile ecosystem inherent in barrier islands, and to raise new revenues for the City of Hollywood.  More info
