Bachow Ventures & Infinity Collective Revamp 11 N Andrews Project in Fort Lauderdale

Key Points

• Density Doubled: A revised proposal for a mixed-use tower at 11 North Andrews Avenue increases apartment count significantly, signaling strong demand for downtown living.
• 378 Units and Retail: The project now calls for 378 multifamily units above ground-floor commercial space in a 27-story building designed by Cube3.
• Strategic Urban Infill: Located near Brightline and core transit, the development taps into urban growth and Fort Lauderdale’s evolving renter market.

Fort Lauderdale’s Urban Growth Draws New Multifamily Project

Fort Lauderdale’s downtown is getting another major multifamily boost as Bachow Ventures and Infinity Collective revamp their long-planned development at 11 North Andrews Avenue. The latest submission to the city increases density and refines the design for a 27-story tower with nearly 380 apartments and ground-floor retail. Developers are positioning the project to capture strong rental demand and tight housing market conditions in downtown Fort Lauderdale. 

Downtown Gets Taller and Denser
The updated proposal calls for a 27-story mixed-use building rising roughly 294 feet. Total gross building area is about 560217 square feet with 378 residential units. Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom options, providing a mix that can attract a broad renter base. The tower includes about 5605 square feet of ground-floor commercial space ideal for retail food or service tenants that drive foot traffic and enhance the urban experience. Structured parking is fully integrated with 444 spaces to serve residents and commercial users.

Why This Project Matters to Landlords and Investors
This site sits in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s downtown, a submarket with strong growth potential. Proximity to key transit, like Brightline, as well as Las Olas Boulevard and the central business district, helps projects in these corridors command higher rents and strong occupancy compared with outlying locations. Increasing density signals confidence in long term demand for multifamily units in dense urban cores. For investors, higher density typically supports greater overall project value and stronger revenue once stabilized. Ground floor retail not only improves resident experience but also diversifies building revenue. Active retail can elevate overall net operating income making mixed use buildings attractive to institutional and private capital alike.

Design Evolution Reflects Market Shifts
Since its earliest plans, this project has undergone multiple design revisions. Original concepts envisioned varied heights and architectural styles. The current iteration balances strong height with broader unit mix and functional layouts that appeal to today’s renter preferences. Amenities and street enhancements, including improved sidewalks, aim to create a more engaging public realm, which can help attract both renters and commercial tenants.

Fort Lauderdale Urban Living Demand Remains Strong
Fort Lauderdale’s multifamily pipeline is expanding, and the updated 11 North Andrews tower by Bachow Ventures and Infinity Collective highlights the city’s movement toward higher-density mixed-use living. For landlords and investors, this project reflects continued appetite for urban rental housing in core Florida markets. Expect densification trends to keep driving rents and valuations in key downtown corridors as Fort Lauderdale’s growth continues.
