Four Pompano Beach Projects Hit Site Plan Review, No GC Set

Four development projects go before Pompano Beach’s Development Review Committee on Wednesday, September 2, and none of them has a general contractor attached yet, according to the city’s posted agenda. For Broward-area GCs and subcontractors, that is the actionable fact: these owners are still shopping, and site-plan review is the earliest reliable signal that a project is about to need a builder.

Why it matters

Site-plan review happens before most owners solicit bids, so a GC or major sub who reaches out this week is ahead of the pack rather than chasing a filled slot. The most reachable name on the agenda is CTO Realty Growth Inc (NYSE: CTO), a publicly traded REIT that co-owns the Citi Centre parcel with Tomoka25 Pompano LLC, a public company with an investor relations line and a track record of shopping general contractors through normal channels. The other three projects sit with private owners: LMG 10th Street Inc on the industrial warehouse, and individuals Sandra L. Millan and Jacobo Quinones on the boutique apartment building, and Juan Roberto and Natasa Elizabeth Elias on the transit-corridor building. Smaller owners like these are frequently the ones still deciding on a contractor when a bigger developer has already locked one in.

The numbers

Citi Centre (LN-897, P&Z #26-12000005): Minor Site Plan, General Business (B-3) / Planned Commercial-Industrial zoning, 1300-1460 NE 23rd St and 2251-2287 N Federal Hwy. LMG Warehouse (LN-912, P&Z #26-12000007): Major Site Plan, the largest review class on this agenda, General Industrial (I-1) zoning, 1160 SW 10th Ave. Five-unit boutique multifamily (LN-913, P&Z #25-12000008): Minor Site Plan, Multiple-Family Residence 45 (RM-45) zoning, 3204 NE 5th St. Juan Elias Apartment Building (LN-914, P&Z #26-12000015): Minor Site Plan, inside the city’s Transit Oriented East Overlay District, 216 SE 23rd Ave.

What’s next

The Development Review Committee meets Wednesday at 9 a.m. at 100 W. Atlantic Blvd. Site-plan approval typically precedes permitting by weeks to months, and none of these four owners has filed for a building permit yet, which means the general contractor decision on all four is still open. AmDev will track this agenda weekly under the Out to Bid franchise for South Florida builders and flag it if any of these owners award a GC or move to building permit.
