Construction has topped out on T3 FAT Village, a six story mass timber office building rising within the broader redevelopment of Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village. The project is led by Hines and Urban Street Development and marks a major milestone within the ongoing transformation of the former FAT Village arts district into a mixed use neighborhood on 5.6 acres in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The building is part of Hines’ T3 portfolio, which stands for Timber, Transit and Technology.

“Topping out T3 FAT Village is more than just a construction milestone,” said Alan Kennedy, managing director at Hines. “It brings us closer to realizing our vision of Flagler Village as a dynamic hub where innovative businesses, creatives, and communities come together. This project honors the neighborhood’s artistic roots while setting new standards for sustainable, human centric workplaces.”

The structure will yield 180,000 square feet of Class AA office space and is the first mass timber office building in Fort Lauderdale. Designed with an emphasis on sustainability and the wellness driven qualities associated with mass timber construction, the building features open floor plates intended to support collaborative layouts for tenants in technology, creative services and professional industries.

“With T3 FAT Village, we are demonstrating that modern office development can be a true expression of creativity and freedom,” said Alan Hooper, co founder and CEO of Urban Street Development. “The T3 office seamlessly complements the artistic spirit of FAT Village, with an open design and integration of art that create an inspiring canvas for today’s forward thinking companies.”

T3 FAT Village serves as the commercial anchor for the larger redevelopment, which will introduce residential buildings, retail, dining and cultural spaces while retaining the district’s previous artistic character. The first multifamily building topped out in March 2025 and a second followed in May.

Vertical Real Estate is handling retail leasing across the master plan and Blanca Commercial Real Estate is overseeing office leasing for the T3 building. According to the development team, pre leasing activity is generating strong interest from tenants seeking modern space in a walkable location.

“Fort Lauderdale’s office market is rapidly evolving, and T3 FAT Village exemplifies the demand for modern, sustainable space in walkable, thriving neighborhoods,” said Tere Blanca, founder and CEO of Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “This development sets a new benchmark for South Florida’s workplace environments and signals growing confidence in Fort Lauderdale’s ability to attract top talent and companies.”

Construction of T3 FAT Village is expected to wrap in 2026, followed by the full delivery of the FAT Village master plan in 2027.

Rare Edgewater Assemblage Trades For $17M As Similar Sites Disappear

The sale equates to roughly $281 per square foot of land. Ursus Inc., which has since merged into 22 CO, sold the property to 110 NE 23rd Street Realty LLC. The purchase adds to a run of land trades along the Edgewater-Wynwood line, where large, assemblable sites have become increasingly scarce as both neighborhoods have filled in with new development. The Edgewater Development Site is among the largest single parcels to change hands in the area this year. “This stretch between Edgewater and Wynwood is one of the last places in the urban core where you can still assemble more than an acre under one zoning designation,” said Cary Cohen, Executive Vice President at Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “When a site like that comes together, it draws real competition, and that’s exactly what we saw here.” The site sits at 50, 60, 68 and 76 NE 23rd Street and 49 and 51 NE 22nd Street, within an Opportunity Zone and zoned T6-8-O, which allows up to 300 units per acre with a density boost the Miami City Commission approved for the neighborhood. The parcels also qualify for additional height and density under Florida’s Live Local Act. The site sits between Wynwood and Biscayne Bay, a few blocks from Margaret Pace Park. “Edgewater is running out of sites this size,” said Cohen. “The neighborhood has pulled in real capital since 2020, and the parcels large enough to support a ground-up project of any scale are getting harder to find every year. Buyers who can move quickly on land like this are proving that out in real time.” Edgewater has drawn roughly $500 million in property investment since 2020, according to Blanca CRE, as projects including Aria Reserve, Missoni Baia and Cove Miami have delivered or broken ground nearby. Developers can unlock additional density through a payment into the city’s Resilience Trust Fund. Key Facts Sale price: $16.5 million Buyer: Melo Group Property type: Development assemblage Location: North Miami Avenue and Northeast 13th Street, near Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood Total land area: Approximately 35,000 square feet Zoning: T6-24a-O mixed-use zoning Development potential: Up to 24 stories, with additional height potentially available through bonuses Future plans: No development proposal was announced at the time of the sale Share this entry You might also like CBRE Arranges New HQ Lease For Crystal Cruises Risk Management Company Inks Miami’s Largest Office Lease Transaction YTD Blanca Commercial Finalizes 31,500 SF Office Lease With Auto Insurance Carrier Blanca CRE Inks Nearly 50K SF Of New Leases, Renewals At O Towers Related And Shoma To Develop Mixed-Use Project New 11-Acre Mixed-Use Development In Downtown Miami Signs Two Major Office Tenants
