Advantis Station in Flagler Village

WGI partnered with the Prospect Real Estate Group to undertake a redevelopment project in the Flagler Village neighborhood in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Advantis Station is a 12-story multi-family residential building with structured parking for 252 units and approximately 1,200 square feet of commercial space with frontage on NE 3rd Avenue and Sistrunk Boulevard. Four ground floor units are for “live/work,” allowing small business owners to have a separate commercial space within their apartments.

To achieve redevelopment approval on the 1.42-acre site, WGI collaborated closely with the client to provide a Level III Site Plan with Conditional Use and a parking reduction order. WGI’s many services for this project also included site planning, environmental services, civil engineering, SUE services, managing the project, and processing the applications through the City of Fort Lauderdale.

One of the challenges WGI faced on this project included potential concerns related to the historic use of a gas station in the 1970s. Because records did not indicate that the gas station was closed properly, WGI enlisted our SUE team to determine if the underground tanks were properly removed.

Now in construction, Advantis Station is a testament to WGI’s capabilities as a full-service, multidisciplinary firm to provide the expertise and resources needed to overcome the several challenges the project posed and provide solutions that result in a development approval for the site that will transform it into an enhanced multi-family community with ample high-quality amenities.
