Broward County’s homebuilding pipeline is unusually split in 2026. On one side, national builders are pushing single-family and townhome communities into the county’s western cities — Parkland, Coconut Creek, Sunrise, Davie — while on the coast, luxury condo developers are racing to deliver beachfront and Intracoastal towers in Fort Lauderdale. Buyers researching “new construction in Broward” this year will find two very different markets depending on whether they’re shopping for a house or a high-rise residence. Here’s what’s actually being built, who’s building it, and what it costs.
New-home construction in Broward has been picking up momentum after a slower stretch. Broward County contractors pulled 396 building permits in April 2026, ranking the county 14th of Florida’s 67 counties by permit volume — a jump of more than 224% from the prior month and up 62.5% year over year. Single-family permits made up roughly 16% of that activity, with the bulk of the volume coming from multifamily projects of five units or more — a pattern that tracks with what’s on the ground: dense condo and townhome construction on the coast, and a smaller but steady drip of single-family lots being built out inland, largely within existing master-planned communities rather than brand-new subdivisions, since vacant land in Broward is increasingly scarce.
Parkland remains ground zero for new single-family construction in Broward, largely because it’s one of the last cities in the county with meaningful buildable acreage.
Lennar is building out Mainstreet, a new master-planned community in Coconut Creek (zip 33063) organized into several distinct product collections — Emerald, Sapphire, Indigo, and Topaz. As of mid-2026 these sections are still in pre-sale, with pricing to be released as each phase opens, positioning Coconut Creek as one of the county’s more active “coming soon” new-construction pipelines for the back half of the year.
Sunrise has emerged as one of the more affordable new-construction options in the county through Lennar’s Solterra community, sold across multiple collections at different price points and sizes:
Lennar’s Altessa at Wilton Manors brings new-construction townhomes and single-family product into one of Broward’s more established, walkable communities, priced from roughly $824,551 for 3–4 bedroom homes between 1,485 and 2,374 square feet.
Away from the master-planned communities, Fort Lauderdale’s older, in-demand neighborhoods — Victoria Park, Poinsettia Heights, Rio Vista, and Washington Park among them — continue to see one-off custom infill construction, where builders tear down an older home and replace it with a new one on the same lot. Several boutique and regional builders are active in this space:
Post-Surfside, concrete and steel construction methods have become a selling point rather than a footnote — several 2026 single-family listings explicitly market “all concrete and steel” or ICF (insulated concrete form) construction for hurricane, fire, and termite resistance, alongside features like standing-seam metal roofs and impact glass throughout.
While the western cities are building houses, Fort Lauderdale’s coastline is in the middle of its biggest wave of luxury condo development in years. Several major towers are underway or newly launched in 2026:
Further south, Kolter Urban’s broader South Florida pipeline includes new joint-venture projects such as Maison d’Or in West Palm Beach — a signal that the same capital and design teams building Broward’s beachfront towers are actively expanding the model up and down the coast.

Note: pricing reflects publicly listed starting figures as of mid-2026 and will move as inventory sells and new phases release; buyers should confirm current pricing directly with the builder or a REALTOR® before making decisions.
The single-family new-construction market in Broward has essentially consolidated into master-planned communities run by a handful of national builders — Lennar, Toll Brothers, GL Homes — because raw land for standalone subdivisions is nearly gone in the county’s buildable areas. That’s pushed most new single-family product toward Parkland, Coconut Creek, and Sunrise, with entry prices now solidly in the $570,000–$1.6 million range depending on city and product line. Meanwhile, custom infill building continues quietly in established Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods for buyers willing to pay a premium for lot location over community amenities.
On the coast, the story is condo towers, not houses — and Florida’s post-Surfside structural and reserve requirements have reshaped what “new construction” means for high-rise living. Buyers are increasingly favoring newly built towers over aging beachfront stock specifically because new buildings come with fresh structural certifications, fully funded reserves, and modern hurricane-rated construction, none of which older condo buildings can guarantee without costly retrofits and steep special assessments.
For buyers and investors working with ONEWISDOMWAY, the practical takeaway is this: if the goal is a single-family home, Parkland, Coconut Creek, and Sunrise currently offer the deepest new-construction pipelines in the county, while Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas remain the epicenter for anyone buying new-construction condo product. Both segments are moving fast enough in 2026 that pricing and availability should be verified in real time rather than relied on from a single snapshot.
