City Center

The historic downtown of the City of Dania Beach, once the center of commerce, the City Center is now envisioned to become an active mixed-use downtown with transit supportive densities and intensities where citizens can live, work and enjoy a lifestyle primarily free of a car. It is also the primary center of civic and cultural activities. City Center is designed to encourage accessible, active, pedestrian-oriented living within walking distance while connecting Dania Beach to the major employment centers in South Florida. This connection will be further enhanced by the future regional rail transit along the FEC railway.

The City Center zone contains Dania Beach’s main civic uses and its historic commercial district. It is envisioned to become an active mixed-use downtown with higher densities and intensities that promote an active, walkable lifestyle and cultural activities.

Future Focus:

Support the creation of an Arts, Entertainment & Innovation District along Federal Highway, from NE 2nd Street to SE 5th Street (south).
Support redesign of NW/SW 1st Avenue as a Complete Street. Promote dual building frontage to activate block and mid-block pedestrian connections from Federal Highway.
Partner with FIU/DOE to promote the IP2Mkt Incubator and co-locate the CRA office within the sub-area to increase visibility and access.
Continue the At Home Dania Beach program, which provides curbside appeal through painting and minor landscaping.
