Zoned for Church + Schools + Live Local Approved Cash-flowing Live Local redevelopment opportunity on North Dixie Highway (SR-811) in Pompano Beach. ±1.54 acres improved with 26,808 SF of existing retail/office buildings generating $570,000+ in annual income, while supporting a future ±140-unit residential development by-right under Florida’s Live Local Act, subject to site plan approval. In addition to redevelopment density, the asset offers near-term cap-rate compression through tenant upside. Current in-place rents average approximately $21/SF, materially below documented market leases in the $28–$32/SF range, providing a clear path to NOI growth through lease renewals and re-tenanting. This is not a retail acquisition. Developers are acquiring time, entitlement certainty, unit yield, and income growth. The property generates cash flow during the entitlement and planning phase, allowing the asset to pay for its own hold while value is enhanced on both the income and redevelopment fronts.

The building's first floor is primarily covered parking, with 96% of rentable area concentrated on the second and third floors. Existing short-term leases provide immediate income while preserving flexibility for repositioning. Floor plans, survey, and lease details are available upon request. Projected stabilized cap rate - applying market rents with reasonable assumptions for vacancy, management, maintenance, reserves, and leaseup costs - exceeds 6%.
