The Searstown ghost area is about to get a big facelift.
If all goes as plans, this is what will happen to that spot:
Two 30-story towers and a 15-story tower with 819 condos or apartments would rise on the 5.5-acre Searstown site at 901 N. Federal Highway, along with shops, offices and a two-story restaurant.
A 15-story hotel with 192 rooms and restaurants and a café with outdoor seating is slated for 550 NE Ninth St. (that's the small plot right across the street...)
And 15-story residential tower at 450 NE Ninth St., that's 135 loft and studio apartments plus shops, restaurants and a 10,000-square-foot art studio.
Look cool, but I read all this and think of all the back roads I'll be using to navigate Sunrise and Federal. If you need more info click HERE
