The Pompano Beach CRA has tapped Bermello Ajamil & Partners (BA) to begin the major site plan process for the McNab House and Botanical Gardens Project. The CRA has also selected renowned placemaking consultant Biederman Redevelopment Ventures (BRV) to advise on the programming, amenities, and events that will energize the space and create a welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.
“We are thrilled to have these two outstanding firms working in concert to create a stunning destination for our City,” said Nguyen Tran, CRA Director. “Throughout the next year, as we finalize the master plan and enter into the site plan process, there will be more opportunities for public engagement before the construction phase commences.”
The CRA embarked on this ambitious plan to transform the underutilized McNab Park into a vibrant destination featuring a restaurant, event pavilion, and botanical garden. BA has been involved with the project from the beginning, creating the conceptual plan, which also includes a classroom/multipurpose building, a children’s garden and playground, and a modest water feature, along with accompanying infrastructure, lush landscaping, and other elements.
To ensure a successful and comprehensive project, BA has assembled a team of experts including Kravit Architectural who will lead the design of the McNab House and Garage conversions, including the kitchen, restaurant restrooms, and event pavilion.
