Located along East Las Olas Boulevard in Broward County, the proposed three-story, 70-foot-tall building will replace the Chabad\u2019s current facility at 1302 East Las Olas Boulevard, relocating approximately 200 feet east to the southwest corner of SE 15th Avenue and East Las Olas Boulevard. The project is led by Las Olas Chabad, with design by Steven L. Cohen and Associates, civil engineering by Scheffer Mote &amp; Ricks, and landscape architecture by EcoPlan.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-09-at-9.17.25-PM-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1717\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Steven L.

The design provides a modern, purpose-built structure organized to support the center\u2019s multifaceted mission while maintaining its presence along one of Fort Lauderdale\u2019s most prominent corridors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot-2025-11-09-at-9.17.48-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2418\" height=\"1624\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Steven L.

The second floor will include a 1,976-square-foot community room, a 1,499-square-foot multipurpose room for educational use, a kitchen, a children\u2019s room, offices, and storage areas.
