At six locations in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Hallandale Beach, developers are putting up a large number of units, 685 of them set aside as affordable workplace housing. Each of the developments received support from Broward over the last few years.

According to the Housing Council, the following are planned:

A short walk away, work is underway at the Village of the Arts — with different phases slated for completion in 2026 and 2027. Planned are “162 multifamily units with 143 affordable housing units,” the council’s report sys.
