A transformative two-phase commercial development in the heart of Fort Lauderdale with the construction of the 550 Office Building and adjacent 550 Parking Garage. This mixed-use project reflects the highest standards of modern Class A office construction, with integrated retail, sustainable building practices, and durable infrastructure designed to support the needs of a growing urban corridor.
This project involved the demolition of two existing structures—a four-story office building and several one-story retail buildings—followed by the ground-up construction of:
The office building features a modern structural system of auger-cast piles, cast-in-place and precast joists, and floor-to-ceiling exterior glazing. Additional features include machine room-less elevators and a full emergency generator system to support tenant needs.
The parking garage complements the office structure with seamless architectural integration, pedestrian access, and durable concrete finishes designed for long-term performance in South Florida’s climate.
The 550 Office & Garage project presented unique challenges including tight urban site logistics, phased utility planning, and complex pedestrian routing during construction. Warbird Construction coordinated closely with city officials, traffic planners, and utility providers to maintain access while keeping the schedule on track.
The result is a clean, modern, mixed-use development that adds long-term value to the Fort Lauderdale business district. Tenants now benefit from enhanced access, emergency-ready systems, and ground-level commercial offerings—while the city gains a landmark structure that reflects its ongoing growth.
This project reflects Warbird Construction’s ability to deliver high-value commercial projects that meet the demands of South Florida’s evolving urban centers. From deep foundations to architectural finishes, every phase was completed with precision, transparency, and a solutions-first mindset.
