Hines, along with its partners, has announced the official ground-breaking and commencement of construction for a mixed-use master-planned urban destination, FAT Village, in Florida, US.

The aforementioned partners comprise Urban Street Development, Hudson Capital, Cresset Real Estate, Las Americas, and Halmos Holdings.

Following a $220m construction loan secured last December, the commencement of construction marks a milestone in the project’s timeline.

The 5.6-acre mixed-use urban development in Fort Lauderdale is hoped to transform the district and foster an authentic community at the centre of Flagler Village.

Hines managing director Alan Kennedy said: “FAT Village will pay homage to and retain the neighbourhood’s creative spirit and artistic presence while creating a lively destination that will engage the community and enhance Fort Lauderdale’s urban fabric.”
