Related Group wins approval for expanded mixed-income multifamily project in Fort Lauderdale

More than half of the 263 apartments at Gallery at Flagler Village will be for residents with moderate or very low income

Related Group is set to develop a mixed-income multifamily project in Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village, after winning approval to boost the number of apartments by a third. Gallery at Flagler Village will be a 16-story building with 263 apartments, instead of a 12-story building with 195 apartments, as in the original plan that the city approved in 2021. The Fort Lauderdale City Commission approved the revised site plan Tuesday night, along with four deviations from design standards in the city’s downtown master plan. Miami-based Related, led by Chairman Jorge Pérez and President Jon Paul Pérez, successfully proposed deviations for maximum floor plate size, minimum building setback, maximum podium height, and maximum building height. “The developer has secured the lending … and is ready to commence construction on the building,” Robert Lochrie, an attorney for Related Group, told commissioners at their meeting.
