Summary Explanation/Background
THE PUBLIC WORKS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE REAL PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
On November 13, 2025 (Agenda Item No. 57), the Board of County Commissioners of Broward County, Florida declared these two contiguous parcels of real property identified by Folio Number 4942-10-00-0083 (“Parcel 1”), approximately 4,472 square feet, and by Folio Number 4942-10-13-0012 (“Parcel 2”), approximately 826 square feet, located at North Andrews Avenue between East Cypress Creek Road and West McNab Road in the City of Fort Lauderdale (collectively, the “Property”), as surplus to the County’s needs based on their unsuitability for development or building due to their size, shape, location and value; and authorized the Real Property and Real Estate Development Division to send notice to adjacent property owners of the County’s intent to sell the Property, and to manage the sale of the Property in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 125.35(2), which allows for the conveyance of the Property at private sale without receiving bids or publishing notice if the Property is conveyed to an adjacent property owner.
As required under Florida Statutes, Section 125.35(2), on November 13, 2025, notice of the County’s intent to sell the Property was sent to all three adjacent property owners. On November 18, 2025, Poliakoff, Becker & Streitfeld LLP, an adjacent property owner, notified the County in writing, of its desire to purchase the Property. The other two adjacent property owners did not notify the County of any desire to purchase the Property. Upon the closing of the sale of the Property, the purchaser will grant to the County an easement throughout the Property for drainage, water, and wastewater purposes, which easement shall be recorded simultaneously with the Quitclaim Deed.
After the sale, the Property is expected to become one of the parcels in the development of a multifamily affordable housing rental project to be constructed and known as Pinnacle at Cypress. On May 20, 2025 (Agenda Item 33), the Board of County Commissioners approved gap financing for Pinnacle at Cypress, LLLP, or its affiliate (Pinnacle at Cypress) at $4,500,000 (100 affordable units).
All applicable documents have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
