- The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the proposal on April 7, 2026, but the Town Council holds the final binding vote.
New York-based MHV Development is proposing The Beverly Townhouses at 990 and 1000 Flamingo Road in Davie, a 92-unit townhome community across 19 two-story buildings on an 18.6-acre site currently operated as a nursery by DynaServ Florida. The Davie Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the proposal on April 7, 2026, considering a rezoning from agricultural district to low-medium dwelling, along with plat and site plan approvals. The board's role is to make a recommendation to the Davie Town Council, which holds the final binding vote. Official minutes from the April 7 meeting had not been published as of this recording.
What is being proposed?
Unit layouts: The project includes 92 townhomes in two and three-bedroom layouts ranging from 1,578 to 1,815 square feet. Bottom floors include living, kitchen, dining, and a powder room. Second floors host bedrooms and laundry. Each unit comes with a connected one or two-car garage, depending on the model.
Community amenities: A 5,000-square-foot clubhouse, swimming pool, and 291 parking spots. The site plan centers the homes around a 1.4-acre pond, which serves both as an amenity and critical drainage infrastructure on what was previously agricultural land.
Engineering: Bohler Engineering is handling civil work. The development includes eco-friendly drainage features designed to prevent flooding on surrounding properties, a requirement that carries significant weight in Davie, given the area's agricultural history and flat terrain.
Target buyer: Pricing has not been announced. At roughly 1,578 to 1,815 square feet with garages and a community pool, this targets a workforce and family buyer in a submarket that has limited new construction supply at a non-luxury price point.
Why is the rezoning the real story?
Moving from an agricultural district to low- to medium-density dwellings is one of the more difficult zoning changes to achieve in Davie. The town has a well-documented equestrian and ranching culture, and residents along Flamingo Road are protective of low-density land use. The loss of the DynaServ nursery, which is part of the area's agricultural character, was likely a focal point of the board's discussion.
Flamingo Road is already a major traffic artery. A 92-unit addition will likely trigger impact fee requirements for road widening or traffic signal improvements. The board frequently requires developers to demonstrate infrastructure solutions before recommending approval.
As Larry Mastropieri noted on the Discover South Florida Podcast: "This is a good example of how development is expanding into areas where land is still available. Davie fits that profile right now. As long as demand continues, you're going to keep seeing projects like this come to market."
We have covered this broader pattern before. Another developer recently proposed filling a lake to build apartments in Davie, illustrating how scarce buildable land has become in Broward County.

Why does drainage matter here?
The 1.4-acre pond is not just a design feature. In Davie, drainage plans on former agricultural land must show they will not displace water onto neighboring farms or equestrian properties during heavy rain events. That drainage strategy was almost certainly a primary agenda item during the board review.
As Larry added: "This drainage component is a big deal in South Florida. We've seen situations where streets flood during heavy rain or king tides, and the infrastructure gets overwhelmed. It's something buyers should at least be aware of, even if it's not a deal breaker."
If the board recommended approval, the project moves to the Town Council for a final vote. If they required modifications, the developer may need to revisit density or the drainage plan before getting another opportunity.
What does this mean for Davie buyers?
Compared to the $2M+ condos in resort communities, The Beverly is a volume play. This targets the workforce and family buyer looking for garage space, a pool, and proximity to Nova Southeastern University and the South Florida Education Center.
The secondary investor market here is driven by NSU and the proximity of the education center. Strong I-595 and Florida Turnpike access adds to the rental appeal.
We have covered this townhouse growth trend across Broward County before. As developable land disappears, projects like The Beverly become more common. Coral Edge in Margate is another recent example of this pattern.
