New renderings reveal ambitious plans for an 11-story mixed-use development replacing the Bank of America building in downtown Coral Springs

Coral Springs, Florida – The vision for downtown Coral Springs is beginning to take shape with newly released renderings for an ambitious 11-story, mixed-use development that would replace the current Bank of America building. The plans, obtained by TAPinto Coral Springs through a public records request, depict a striking design that combines residential, retail, and parking spaces in a single, cohesive project spanning an entire city block.

The proposed development, dubbed 32 Hundred, would replace the 17,700-square-foot bank building at 3200 University Drive with a two-story, 18,100-square-foot commercial structure facing University Drive. The commercial building is designed to house retail stores and bank services, complete with a concealed drive-through, while ground-level parking and an upper parking facility would accommodate both residents and visitors.

Adjacent to the commercial space, an 11-story residential tower is planned along N.W. 94th Street, a street running parallel to University Drive. The tower is intended to line the streetscape and obscure the view of the developer’s proposed five-story, 340-space parking garage. The design seeks to maintain a visually appealing streetscape while maximizing residential capacity and parking efficiency.

According to the renderings, the apartment units would range in size to accommodate a variety of residents. Studios would measure around 500 square feet, one-bedroom apartments would range from 650 to 815 square feet, two-bedroom units would span 820 to 1,050 square feet, and three-bedroom apartments would be approximately 1,245 square feet. The diverse unit sizes are aimed at attracting young professionals, small families, and other city residents seeking a modern urban lifestyle.

The plans for 32 Hundred were first reviewed by the city’s development review committee earlier this month. Officials and developers discussed the project’s potential to enhance downtown Coral Springs by providing additional housing, retail space, and parking while contributing to the city’s overall growth and vibrancy.

The renderings showcase two distinct buildings fronting the streets and wrapping around the parking facilities, emphasizing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The design reflects an effort to balance commercial activity with residential living, offering convenient access to shops, services, and transit options while keeping the urban landscape visually attractive.

As Coral Springs continues to evolve, the proposed 11-story development represents a significant investment in the city’s downtown core. While residents and city officials weigh in on the project’s impact, the renderings offer a glimpse into a potential future where Coral Springs embraces modern mixed-use development while maintaining a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment.

The next steps for the project will include further review, community input, and eventual approval before construction can begin, as developers and city planners work together to bring the 32 Hundred vision to life.
