Parkside Vue, an eight-story multifamily development, is advancing to Hollywood’s Planning and Development Board. Situated at 1809 Madison Street, between South Federal Highway and Madison Street, the project will feature nearly 50 residential units, ground-floor retail, and structured parking. The project team is entirely South Florida–based, with Hollywood developer Las Villas JDL, LLC spearheading the development and collaborating closely with Skin Architectural Group on the design and planning.
Mid-rise developments such as Parkside Vue are becoming increasingly common across Hollywood, where developers have been filing a steady wave of four to eight-story apartment projects on land historically designated for single-family housing. The Planning and Development Board is set to review the proposal on September 9th, acting as one of the final steps before groundbreaking can begin. Prior to this stage, the development has gone through several design revisions and technical changes during under regulatory boards.
Plans released recently showcase a total of 44 units, split between 2 bedroom/2bath or 1 bedroom/1bath orientations. The average unit size is 667 SF, with residents having access to a meditation garden, recreational garden, gym, and a pool at their disposal. Likewise, there will be access to 62 parking spaces throughout the podium for visitors, residents, and retail patrons alike. These specifications largely remain the same as the developer’s submission in late 2023, with only minor changes such as design adjustments.
Meanwhile, on the ground floor, there will be 1,500 SF of commercial space fronting South Federal Highway. The commercial space will extend two floors, although it’s unsure what type of retail the developers are catering towards. Surrounding the development, sidewalk space will be extended and include bicycle racks, greenery, and other improvements.
According to elevations provided by Skin Architectural Group, the 8-story building will rise 87 FT to the upper roof, or about 77 FT to the roof of the tallest occupiable unit. Previously, the building was given a red and white facade, but the new facade has been updated to feature a color portfolio of sage, oyster, and truffle. Along the facade, there will be impact fixed windows, glass railings, aluminum railings, and other architectural elements.
Once approved by the planning board, minimal on-site work will be required. The property has been vacant for several years, and aside from minor site work such as tree removal, the developers can begin construction once financing, permits, and other necessary approvals are in place.
