HISTORY OF PROPERTY

In 1999, the property located at 1045 SW 11th way was deeded to the City along with adjacent property in the area by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

At the time, Deerfield Beach voters approved a lease of the entire property to Florida Atlantic Research and Development Authority, aka FARDA for $1.00 a year. In return, FARDA agreed to develop the property with a research and development, educational, or vocational use. 

Since 2005, the lease for the property was extended seven times. 20 years later the property still sits vacant and empty. 

On February 15, 2022, the City Commission voted to deny FARDA’s request for an 8th lease extension and the related proposal to build a 41,000 sq. ft. Office building with a parking lot for a payment of $3.2 million to the city. A market appraisal conducted by the City at the time valued the property at $6.5m. 

The City issued a competitive solicitation, with the assistance of a broker who marketed the property nationally, to solicit proposals to purchase and develop the property. The City Commission approved a recommendation on December 14, 2022 to award the competitive solicitation to MBA Development Partners of Florida, LLC (MBA), the top ranked firm. 

The proposed mixed-use project includes medical, retail, restaurant, housing, hotel, and convention entertainment center space, a parking garage to support the development, and public access to rooftop green space and walkable greenway paths. 

MBA proposes paying the full appraisal price for the property, $6.5m. In addition, MBA’s proposal includes $7.5m in community contributions for improvements to surrounding parks, roadways, transportation networks, and other infrastructure improvements.
