After years of planning, Mainstreet Coconut Creek is finally taking visible steps toward construction.
City officials say permits for the long-awaited mixed-use project have been submitted, and early infrastructure work is getting ready to begin. The development, located in Coconut Creek, is expected to bring new housing, businesses, and community spaces to the area.
Mayor Jackie Railey said the city is optimistic about the progress so far. According to city leaders, the goal of Mainstreet is to create a walkable downtown-style area that supports small businesses while giving residents a central place to live, shop, and gather.
Most of the project’s development applications are close to approval. One section of the project, known as Block 10, is still waiting for a final concept plan. Once that plan is selected, it will be reviewed by city staff and then sent to the Coconut Creek City Commission for approval.
Another section, Block 2, recently received a minor amendment request, though it has not yet been reviewed. Several other blocks have already been approved, allowing the developer to move forward with preliminary permits.
City officials also confirmed that engineering and building permits are currently under review for site preparation and infrastructure. The first major construction phase is expected to include a 404-unit multi-family residential building, marking the beginning of visible progress on the site.
While there is still work to be done before construction officially begins, city leaders say the project is moving forward and that residents can expect more updates as Mainstreet continues to take shape.
