Hallandale Beach: South Florida's Next Real Estate Hot Spot

It wasn’t all that long ago that Hallandale Beach, Fla. was little more than a scruffy beach town. Today, having found itself the epicenter of a real estate investment boom, it is rapidly on its way to emerging as South Florida’s next prime real estate nexus. In keeping with its new standing, the city is undertaking enormous renovation projects, constructing new developments and welcoming the arrival of upscale restaurants and shops.

With an estimated population of nearly 40,000, Hallandale Beach is among the fastest-growing Broward County municipalities. It has long been so well known for Canadian snowbirds wintering near its Atlantic Ocean beaches that it has sometimes been dubbed “the southernmost Canadian city.” But today it has also begun attracting a more global contingent, with a number of Europeans buying vacation homes. They are lured in part for the convenient location between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and closeness to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and Miami International Airports, the Port of Miami and I-95.

Some new arrivals have no doubt been drawn by Hallandale's various high-end amenities, fine dining and luxury shopping venues. Among the city's prime recreational offerings are the upscale Diplomat Golf Course and the $9 million Gulfstream Pegasus World Cup Invitational, which since its 2017 debut has become known as the world's richest thoroughbred horse race, and increasingly a winter racing season highlight.

Not far from Hallandale Beach is the second largest mall in the U.S. in terms of retail space. Located on Biscayne Boulevard, Miami's Aventura Mall is anchored by Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom and offers a vibrant array of more than 300 individual stores and shops. Also nearby is ETARU, a newly unveiled Japanese Robatayaki concept restaurant from famed international restaurateur Rainer Becker, creator and co-founder of Zuma Restaurants around the world, as well as ROKA London.

Don't forget beaches

Last but far from least are the beaches of Hallandale Beach. The city serves up some of the most beautiful and hidden sandy expanses in all of South Florida. The beaches of Hallandale Beach are distinguished from other Broward County beaches by their distinctive views and the protected native coastal vegetation.

Speaking of the city's waterfront, a number of developers have begun scouting locations in Hallandale Beach due to Miami's increasing scarcity of waterfront land. Among the newer Hallandale Beach oceanfront developments are the following:

Hallandale ArtSquare. Completed last spring, this six-building mixed-use community features 368 rental apartments, a fitness center, resort-style pool, outdoor fire pit, entertainment lounge and 12,000 square feet of shopping and dining space.

2000 Ocean. New York City, NY-based KAR Properties developed this private residential nook, providing resort-style living. Featuring design by architect Enrique Norten of TEN Arquitectos and concept design by Kobi Karp, 2000 Ocean is a 38-story glass tower fronting the Atlantic Ocean's white sands that features 64 beachfront homes. It is not only the newest landmark development to come to the city, but also the first residential project in the United States furnished by Italian design brand Minotti.

The partnership with acclaimed Italian design brands Minotti and minotticucine allows KAR Properties to imbue 2000 Ocean with a heightened sense of unalloyed elegance and personalized interior design services.

Reflected in prices

The growing exclusivity of Hallandale Beach is reflected in the median sales price per foot of $209, approximately 10 percent higher than Broward County average. The recent costliest single-family home listed in Hallandale Beach is a 4,819-square-foot waterfront home on Oleander Drive with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths, listed for $6.99 million.

The highest sale price was for a 4,747-square-foot five-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom waterfront home at 455 Holiday Drive that sold for $1.89 million last year.

It's a far cry from the late 19th Century days when the area's first European-descended resident (and town namesake), Luther Halland, touted its then most appealing quality.

Cheap land.

The Ultimate Guide To Family Law

Introduction The government has always had a fascination with families and the contract of marriage. State legislatures have passed many laws regulating the requirements for getting married and for obtaining a divorce. In addition, today’s laws also affect couples who live together outside of marriage. It is hard to give simple answers to many of the legal questions that a person may have about marriage, parenthood, separation, or divorce because the laws change and vary from one state to another. In addition, judges in different states with identical laws may decide cases with similar facts in different ways. This article describes the laws and court rulings common to most states. If you have other questions, please contact a lawyer in your state. You may also wish to contact a specialist. Many lawyers (particularly in urban areas) work only on family law or make it a large part of their general practice. Lawyers specializing in family law also may refer to themselves as specialist...

Amazon HQ2 talks reportedly narrow to Crystal City, Dallas and NYC

Amazon is reportedly getting close to finalizing the location of its  $5 billion, 50,000-job  second headquarters following a nationwide reverse-contest of sorts, wherein the tech company accepted bids and presentations from different city governments on why they should be the one to land Amazon HQ2. And now it appears that three locations are currently in the lead: Virginia’s Crystal City, Dallas and New York City. After speaking to people familiar with Amazon’s plans, The Wall Street Journal reported  this weekend that the search for the second headquarters has narrowed from the 20 cities originally shortlisted as potential locations. Discussions around Denver, Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C. have cooled somewhat while Amazon’s team has been having more talks with representatives of the other three cities. Amazon’s impact on home affordability has been a major consideration, as the tech giant’s presence in Seattle has both created nume...

How To Flag Your Hotel In The Age Of Brand Proliferation

No doubt about it, we’re in the age of hotel brand proliferation. New brands seemingly sprout almost weekly. Counting the precise or official number of hotel brands is difficult. By my conservative estimate, nearly 100 new flags with at least eight properties have been launched since 2008, conceivably pushing the total number of brands to more than 700. This dizzying array of choices doesn’t the make the decision about which flag to fly on a property any easier for hotel developers. How do you decide when there are so many brands to choose from? Marriott , for example, has 30-plus brands under its umbrella spanning all chain scale and star levels of the hospitality industry. A successful hotel project begins with the selection of the right brand for your marketplace, physical site and price point. Although the macro dynamics of the lodging business are strong, a microanalysis of the destination in which you want to build will ultimately dictates your brand choice. Here’s a road ma...
