A New
City Hall
Brings BIG Benefits.
Most of downtown Fort Lauderdale has grown and improved over the years. But the area around the old City Hall site has been left behind. A new City Hall would help change that — for workers, for businesses, and for every resident who needs to talk to their government.
$300M
Boost for a Forgotten Corner
The new City Hall could bring $300 million in new business activity to a downtown corner that's been left behind. Nearby restaurants, shops, and small businesses would see more customers walk through the door.
ALL OF US
A Public Space — Not an Office
A regular office tower is built for office workers. A City Hall is built for all of us — a gathering space to be heard, to be seen, and to organize for a better future, no matter what neighborhood you're from.
What we're building
A Civic Landmark
For the Whole City.
Designed as a public place first, an office building second. Glass at street level, shaded plazas, native palms, and a gathering space that opens directly onto downtown.

How We Got
To This Moment.
April 2023
Flood Destroys City Hall
A huge rainstorm floods Fort Lauderdale's old City Hall. The 1960s-era building suffers bad damage to wiring and air conditioning. The city tears it down. Since then, city workers have been spread out across other buildings downtown — costing about $5 million a year just to rent space.

A New City Hall In The Works
A company comes to the city on its own and proposes to build a new City Hall. Under Florida law, the city has to let other companies compete for 60 days. Six proposals come in.
Dec 2, 2025
Commission Votes 4 – 1 To Build
The city's outside expert reviews all six. Only one company meets every rule — Fort Lauderdale City Hall Partners. The Commission votes 4–1 to pick them. Construction is planned to start in early 2027 and finish in 2029.
2026 · Now
Project Temporarily Delayed
Some Commissioners are now exploring other options — including buying an older office building instead of building one custom-made for our community. That would mean fewer jobs, fewer opportunities, and a building that wasn't designed for the public.
