Fort Lauderdale has received a request to dedicate $350,000 in taxpayer dollars to help brand the city during the games. Mayor Dean Trantalis is questioning why the city would contribute any money at all if Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens has already been chosen as a host venue.

Fort Lauderdale Commissioner Pamela Beasley-Pittman wants to know what a new City Hall building might cost. “We need to be responsible in how we put burdens on our residents,” she said. “Yes, we need a City Hall. But I cannot buy a Rolls-Royce.”

Fort Lauderdale’s City Hall was critically damaged in a record-breaking rainstorm that hit in April 2023. Now, the city is moving forward with plans for a new building in the same spot.

“Those numbers show me that we are a city that is growing and that people want to be here,” Commissioner Steve Glasssman said of the slew of projects in the pipeline. Resident Anne Hilmer had a vastly different reaction: “Oh my God. Think of all the toilets flushing.”

City leaders say Fort Lauderdale is a growing city with a growing population looking for a new home. Critics are asking when enough is enough, pointing to crowded restaurants and gridlocked roads.

Andare Residences is expected to open in downtown Fort Lauderdale in 2027. It will rise 540 feet, making it the tallest building in town. The $350 million project calls for 163 units, with prices starting at $2 million. Related Group, Miami’s largest condo developer, bought the parcel more than five years ago and decided the time was right to build a luxury condo in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Nick Pérez told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Pérez, president of Related’s Condominium Division, is son of billionaire Jorge Perez, the company's chairman, CEO and founder.

The 46-story tower, dubbed Andare Residences, is expected to open in 2027. The $350 million project calls for 163 units, with prices starting at $2 million.

Assistant City Manager Susan Grant told the commission developer Jeff John allowed city staff to “look at” an updated financial commitment on his iPad on Nov. 25. “We weren’t given a hard copy of that, but we were able to look at it on his iPad,” Grant said. Vice Mayor John Herbst, an expert in finance and accounting, was astounded. “We don’t look at iPads,” Herbst said. “We get copies of stuff and we call people up and we verify it.”

On Tuesday, the developer didn’t show proof of financing. The commission agreed to declare him in default on the contract. He now has 30 days to prove he has the money in place.
