It’s a trend sweeping the country. Mall owners are trying to increase traffic by utilizing some of the unused space for apartments. The City Commission will consider a special exception to allow mixed-use in the general commercial district encompassing the Lauderhill Mall at 1267 N.W. 40th Ave. IMC Equity Group has owned the mall since purchasing it for $17.8 million in 2012.

The mixed-use project would feature 233 apartments – all of them one- or two-bedroom units – and 14,186 square feet of commercial space. That would break down to a five-story building with 56 apartments and the commercial space on the ground floor, an eight-story building with 122 apartments and clubhouse, and a five-story building with 55 apartments.

North Miami-based Urban Design is the architect on the project.

The Lauderhill Mall was developed in 1966. Tenants include AutoZone, Subway, Boost Mobile, the Crafty Crab, Dunkin, Foot Locker, Fresco y Mas, and Goodwill.
