T3 FAT (Food, Art, Technology) Village

Developers Hines and USD have joined forces to create a unique redevelopment in the FAT Village District of Fort Lauderdale. Through the integration of historic warehouse buildings on-site, the project achieves an authenticity which will successfully combine the grit of the existing artists community with a very pedestrian-focused and active mixed-use neighborhood.  Integral to that synergy are two sustainable mass-timber office buildings designed by DLR Group.  The main structure of these buildings is mass-timber which is left exposed in some areas to highlight structural systems.  The scope of this redevelopment includes 185,000 SF in the first phase and an additional 170,000 SF in the second phase.  The seven levels of office and retail space will accommodate approximately 500 users. Key program spaces for the redevelopment include office, retail, housing, artist studios, and restaurants. This design targets LEED Gold standards and WELL building certification.
