East Federal Highway

This neighborhood is east of Federal Highway on both the north and south sides of Dania Beach Boulevard and reaches as far north as the Dania Cut Canal and south to Sheridan Street. It is an area that serves a transition between active commercial, entertainment, and higher value family residential areas. It has the potential for redevelopment due to large single owner parcels of land, with easy access to the beach and Intracoastal.

Redevelopment will involve improved landscaping and swales, providing transition opportunities to protect the single family areas east of Federal Highway, and the creation of connective and pedestrian oriented uses north of Dania Beach Boulevard to provide area residents with housing choices, and retail and service related businesses, and a walkable for area residents to connect to the city center/urban village.

The zone contains small commercial uses along the Federal Highway. The Dania Beach Casino can also be found in this zone, as well as newer high-rise residential developments along East Dania Boulevard. This corridor provides direct access to the Dania Beach pier, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Future Focus:

Support the creation of an Arts, Entertainment & Innovation District along Federal Highway, generally from NE 2nd Street (north) to SE 5th Street (south), using partnerships with local businesses.
Increase Dania Beach’s downtown presence and sense of place by installing the branded public realm and private development improvements.
Continue the At Home Dania Beach program, which provides curbside appeal through painting and minor landscaping.
