Hallandale Beach could get a new, eight-story medical office tower — and homes will be demolished to make way for it.

The plan calls for a nearly 91,000-square-foot building at 400 SE Ninth St., with medical offices and a four-story parking garage.

Broward County property records show the developer, Care LG 2016 Holdings LLC, bought 11 parcels along Southeast Ninth Street and Ninth Court in September for $6.45 million to make way for the new tower. Homes on the site now include a single-family house, a duplex, a triplex, and a two-story, nine-unit apartment building, according to city staff.

Jose Saye, spokesman for Synalovski Romanik Saye LLC, an architecture and planning firm, said the project still needs final approvals by city staff. Demolition permits would be considered after that, he said, and construction could begin in September.

The public can hear about the proposal at a meeting set for 6 p.m. July 19 at the Hallandale Beach Cultural Center, 410 SE Third St. The meeting was mandated by City Hall as part of the approval process.

The project would include an urgent care center and an imaging diagnostic facility on the ground floor. The top three floors would be office space for physicians and therapeutic practitioners.
