DEVELOPER PROPOSES 978-UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX ON FORT LAUDERDALE MOBILE HOME PARK

A developer wants to build a 978-unit apartment complex at the Pan American Estates Mobile Home Park in Fort Lauderdale. 

Saulo Perez, a South Florida-based real estate developer, proposes the project on the 22.8-acre mobile home park at 150 Northwest 68th Street in the Cypress Creek neighborhood, according to city records. 

The Fort Lauderdale Development Review Committee is expected to vote on the project at its meeting on Tuesday. 

Designed by MSA Architects, the project would be developed in three phases. Phase I would have 329 apartments in five five-story buildings and a lake. Phase II would have 290 units in four five-story buildings and four townhouses in a row of two-story buildings, according to the application submitted last month. The third phase would consist of an eight-story, 355-unit building. In total, the project would have 1,544 parking spaces. 

The project’s design is reminiscent of Rosemary Beach, an area on Florida’s Gulf Coast known for its architectural style that’s similar to the French Quarter in New Orleans. 

Perez, through his Cypress Development LLC, bought the mobile home park site in October, records show. A deed lists the price as a nominal amount of $10.
