Proposed 11-story mixed-use tower in downtown Coral Springs could transform the area with apartments, retail, and office space
Coral Springs, Florida – Downtown Coral Springs could soon see another major transformation as more details emerge about a proposed 11-story, mixed-use development designed to replace the existing Bank of America building at 3200 University Drive. The project, submitted by developer 3200 University LLC, would feature 300 residential apartments alongside retail, office, and bank space, according to documents obtained by TAPinto Coral Springs through a public records request.
The project, named 32 Hundred, calls for demolishing the 17,700-square-foot Bank of America building and replacing it with a combination of commercial and residential structures. The commercial portion would include a two-story building facing University Drive, totaling 18,100 square feet, and housing retail outlets, bank spaces, and a concealed drive-through. Customers would be able to access the commercial building via NW 32nd Court, University Drive, and NW 31st Court.
In addition to the commercial spaces, plans detail 95 parking spaces on the ground and second floors of the building. The residential tower, wrapping around NW 32nd Court, University Drive, and NW 31st Court, would feature 300 apartments and be designed to conceal a five-story parking garage with 340 spaces from street views. Residents would enjoy amenities on the first floor, including co-working office space, while the sixth floor would feature a pool and additional recreational amenities.
The 32 Hundred proposal is currently under review by the city’s development review committee, the first step in Coral Springs’ formal planning process. While these plans provide a detailed vision for the project, city planners note that modifications could be made based on public feedback and committee recommendations.
If approved, 32 Hundred would represent the fourth large-scale development in the downtown area’s so-called “four corners,” a city-designated zone around the intersection of University Drive and Sample Road that has become a hub for high-density, mixed-use projects.
On the southwest corner, Cornerstone is nearing completion, bringing more than 700 apartments along with 46,572 square feet of retail and restaurant space to the area. Across the street on the northwest corner, Amera Downtown Development Company is planning City Village, which will feature 300 apartments and 20,000 square feet of commercial space. Meanwhile, the northeast corner, a former Publix site, is slated to become Downtown Coral Springs, a mixed-use development with 377 apartments, 11,525 square feet of retail space, and a 629-space parking garage.
City officials have emphasized that these projects collectively reflect a broader vision for downtown Coral Springs, aiming to create a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly urban center with a mix of housing, commercial activity, and public amenities. The addition of 32 Hundred would further solidify the area’s transformation, increasing residential density while providing new retail and office opportunities.
The design for 32 Hundred also incorporates thoughtful urban planning considerations, such as shielding the parking garage from street view with street-facing units and integrating co-working spaces for residents, reflecting a trend toward combining living, working, and leisure in a single location. The sixth-floor pool and rooftop amenities are expected to appeal to residents seeking a mix of comfort and convenience in a downtown environment.
For Coral Springs residents and city planners alike, the next few months will be critical in shaping how the project evolves. The development review committee will weigh the submitted plans, gather input from city staff, and consider public feedback before moving the project forward. With four major developments now underway at the city’s four corners, 32 Hundred represents another significant step in the ongoing transformation of Coral Springs’ downtown core.
As the city continues to review and refine the proposal, both officials and residents are keeping a close eye on how the project will integrate with the surrounding urban landscape and contribute to the downtown area’s future growth.
