Coral Springs continues review of proposed 11-story tower project set to replace downtown Bank of America building and add residential and commercial spaces

Coral Springs, Florida – The proposed 11-story mixed-use development known as 32 Hundred is moving forward in the Coral Springs approval process this week, with city committees continuing their reviews of the ambitious project set to replace the downtown Bank of America building.

The development review committee examined the project on Monday, with the architectural review committee scheduled to review the plans on Wednesday. City officials and community members will continue to weigh in on how the new tower and accompanying commercial space will integrate into the downtown landscape.

Plans submitted for the 32 Hundred project call for demolishing the existing 17,700-square-foot Bank of America building at 3200 University Drive and replacing it with a new two-story, 17,000-square-foot commercial building facing University Drive. The design incorporates a co-working space for residents and a police substation on the first floor, reflecting a focus on both community engagement and public safety.

The development would include ground-level parking beneath the commercial space, with a parking facility atop the building to accommodate visitors and tenants. The residential portion of the project—a striking 11-story tower—would face NW 94th Street, a parallel corridor to University Drive, and is designed to conceal the five-story, 340-space parking garage from public view.

According to the submitted plans, the residential units would offer a variety of layouts, catering to a diverse range of residents. Studio apartments are planned at 500 square feet, while one-bedroom units would range from 650 to 815 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments would measure between 820 and 1,050 square feet, and three-bedroom units would provide 1,245 square feet of living space. The mix of units is intended to attract young professionals, small families, and others seeking downtown living options.

The project has drawn attention not only for its size but for the way it integrates mixed-use elements into the downtown Coral Springs corridor. By placing commercial spaces at street level, the developers aim to maintain an active pedestrian experience, while residential units above offer views and a modern lifestyle within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and city amenities.

As the project continues through committee reviews, city planners and developers are working to address community concerns related to traffic, density, and the overall impact on downtown aesthetics. The architectural review committee’s upcoming meeting will focus on design elements, building materials, and the visual impact of the tower on the surrounding streetscape.

If approved, 32 Hundred will mark a significant transformation for Coral Springs’ downtown area, replacing a familiar banking landmark with a modern, multi-functional hub that combines residential living, commercial activity, and community-oriented spaces. Residents and stakeholders are watching closely as the project moves one step closer to reality.
