Mill Creek Residential has filed a rezoning application for an eight-story apartment complex dubbed Modera Pompano Beach. The proposed development at 855-909 South Federal Highway aims to add hundreds of housing units to the area.
Why it matters
The project intends to address local housing needs by integrating mixed-income residential units with commercial space on a site currently functioning as a car dealership.
The plan includes 347 residential units and 10,400 feet of commercial space spread across 4.1 acres of the 6.5-acre property. Fifty units are set aside as affordable housing for residents earning up to 120 percent of the $97,600 area median income.

Culture Shift
This project reflects a broader move toward utilizing planned development-infill zoning to increase urban housing density. It marks a departure from traditional general business zoning, favoring mixed-use developments that replace older automotive-focused land uses.
Residents can expect changes to the local commercial landscape as the car dealership site potentially transitions into a residential complex. The project also introduces 50 affordable housing units to the area for those meeting specific income requirements.
The takeaway
Large-scale residential redevelopments often require city planning approval to shift zoning for increased density. Interested stakeholders should monitor public planning board sessions to understand how these projects impact local infrastructure and housing availability.
