Major Development Projects Shaping West Broward in 2026
What’s Breaking Ground — and Why It Matters for the Entire Region
West Broward continues to evolve in thoughtful, intentional ways — and 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for growth across the region. From large-scale residential communities and mixed-use centers to infrastructure upgrades that impact daily life, these upcoming projects reflect why families, professionals, and businesses continue choosing Broward County.
As someone who lives and works in this area, I keep a close eye on what’s being built — not just because of real estate, but because development shapes how we live, commute, shop, and connect as a community.
Here’s a look at some of the major development projects expected to break ground or accelerate in 2026, with a focus on West Broward and a few countywide projects that affect us all.
West Broward Developments to Watch in 2026
Parkland Royale (by Lennar) – Parkland
Parkland Royale is one of the most anticipated new residential communities in West Broward. This luxury, gated development is expected to bring modern home designs, family-friendly layouts, and contemporary amenities that align with Parkland’s long-term vision.
What makes Parkland Royale notable is how it blends new construction with the area’s established lifestyle — proximity to top schools, parks, and everyday conveniences while maintaining a residential feel.
Salt Grass at Heron Bay (by Toll Brothers) – Parkland
Located within the broader Heron Bay area, Salt Grass represents the next evolution of one of Parkland’s most well-known communities. Toll Brothers’ involvement signals a focus on upscale design, thoughtful planning, and long-term value.
This project is expected to attract both current Parkland residents looking to stay local and newcomers drawn to the West Broward lifestyle.
Plantation Walk Expansion – Plantation
Plantation Walk continues to expand as a mixed-use destination combining residential living, dining, retail, and entertainment. Additional phases planned for 2026 will further enhance walkability and create a true town-center feel — something many West Broward cities are intentionally working toward.
This type of development supports the growing demand for live-work-play environments without leaving the suburbs.
Pembroke Pines Mixed-Use & Infrastructure Improvements
Pembroke Pines has several redevelopment and infrastructure projects planned that focus on roadway improvements, community centers, and mixed-use corridors. These upgrades aim to support continued population growth while improving traffic flow and accessibility across West Broward.
Countywide Projects Impacting All of Broward
While West Broward remains a major growth area, several Central and East Broward projects will impact residents countywide — especially in terms of employment, transportation, and lifestyle.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale Redevelopment
Ongoing and upcoming projects in Downtown Fort Lauderdale include residential towers, office space, riverfront enhancements, and cultural venues. These developments continue to strengthen Broward’s urban core and attract employers, which benefits housing demand throughout the county.
Transportation & Infrastructure Upgrades
Several Broward County transportation initiatives are expected to advance in 2026, including roadway expansions, smart-traffic systems, and transit improvements. These upgrades improve connectivity between West Broward and coastal areas — a key factor for commuters and businesses alike.
Why These Developments Matter
New construction and redevelopment projects aren’t just about buildings — they’re about quality of life. Together, these 2026 projects support:
-
Smarter growth across West Broward communities
-
Improved walkability and mixed-use living
-
Stronger local economies and job creation
-
Continued demand for housing across the region
They also reinforce why Broward County remains one of South Florida’s most resilient and desirable places to live.
Looking Ahead
As 2026 approaches, West Broward is positioned for measured, lifestyle-focused growth — not overbuilding, but intentional expansion that supports families, local businesses, and long-term stability.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or someone keeping an eye on where Broward is headed next, these projects offer a glimpse into the future of our communities.
