Northlink Capital Doubles Nine Hundred to 540 Units, Hallandale Beach
The site last cleared City Hall for a 320-unit, hotel-inclusive tower. Northlink's new site plan strips the hotel and adds more than 200 apartments.
Northlink Capital has filed revised plans for a 540-unit tower called Nine Hundred at 900 South Federal Highway in Hallandale Beach, up from the 320-unit, hotel-inclusive project the city last approved for the same site. Northlink, an affiliate of the New York family office Hampshire Properties, bought the 1.5-acre Opportunity Zone parcel in 2022 for $26 million.
Why it matters
A near-doubling of unit count on an already-entitled site is not a formality. Hallandale Beach approved the prior version, 320 apartments with a hotel component and ground-floor retail, in a 2019 site plan that itself amended a 2016 approval. Northlink’s new filing drops the hotel and pushes density well past what the city previously signed off on, which means a fresh round of staff review and likely a commission vote before anything gets built. For developers watching the Federal Highway corridor near Gulfstream Park, the filing is a live test of how far Hallandale Beach will let density climb on a site it already blessed once at a lower count.
The numbers
The revised plan calls for 540 residential units across 23 stories, roughly 258 feet, with 638 parking spaces on levels one through eight and about 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Unit types run from studios to three-bedroom layouts, with a roughly 5,000-square-foot indoor amenity floor on level seven plus a pool deck and landscaped terraces. The site’s last approved version, dated 2019, was 320 apartments, a hotel, 5,469 square feet of retail and 580 parking spaces, itself a revision of a 2016 approval for a similarly sized tower with a Marriott-branded hotel.
What’s next
The 540-unit plan is under review by the City of Hallandale Beach and will need additional approvals before construction can start, with no timeline announced. The next marker is whether staff treats the change as a minor amendment or sends it back through public hearings, given the unit count jump. AmDev will track the site plan docket and any South Florida commission agenda where it lands.
