Out to Bid: Six approvals move across Broward this week

Six projects across three Broward County cities clear public hearings this week and next with no general contractor on record, from a private school expansion in Coconut Creek to a warehouse and a mixed retail center in Pompano Beach. None of these have permits. All are still at the site plan or funding stage, the window where a contractor can get in front of an owner before scope hardens into construction documents. More South Florida coverage tracks what moves next.

Why it matters

A permit notice tells a GC a job is already staffed. An approvals hearing tells a GC a job is not staffed yet. Two of this week’s items, the North Broward Preparatory School and Walmart site plans in Coconut Creek, already cleared their Planning and Zoning Board recommendation on July 8 and now go to the City Commission for final approval, which is typically the last stop before an owner starts soliciting bids.

The numbers

• Coconut Creek: North Broward Preparatory School, 56,500-square-foot addition for instructional and performance space at 7600 Lyons Road. City Commission hearing Aug. 27.
• Coconut Creek: Walmart Stores East LP, 5,932-square-foot addition to the existing store at 5571 West Hillsboro Boulevard. City Commission hearing Aug. 27.
• Delray Beach: CRA-owned parcel at Roosevelt Avenue and Lake Ida Road, affordable and workforce housing. Peacock Architects work assignment for site plan modification, major plat and construction documents, not to exceed $243,500. CRA hearing Aug. 27.
• Delray Beach: three CRA-owned lots at 630, 704 and 708 SW 4th Street, affordable and workforce housing disposition awarded to the Delray Beach Community Land Trust under RFP CRA No. 2026-01. CRA hearing Aug. 27.
• Pompano Beach: LMG Warehouse, major site plan for an industrial building at 1160 SW 10th Avenue, owner LMG 10th Street Inc. Development Review Committee Sept. 2.
• Pompano Beach: Citi Centre, minor site plan across 1300-1460 NE 23rd Street and 2251-2287 N Federal Highway, owners Tomoka25 Pompano LLC and CTO Realty Growth Inc. Development Review Committee Sept. 2.

What’s next

Watch how fast the Delray Beach CRA design contracts move. The same Aug. 27 agenda includes a separate $86,270 work assignment to CPZ Architects for construction documents on an interior buildout at 95 SW 5th Avenue, evidence of how quickly a CRA design award turns into a bid-ready package in this jurisdiction. The Coconut Creek and Delray Beach items are both scheduled for Aug. 27; Pompano Beach’s Development Review Committee follows Sept. 2.
