The Fort Lauderdale Forum

Flagler Village, also referred to as FAT Village (Flagler + Arts + Technology) was once a neglected warehouse and residential district, has been reborn into what is rapidly becoming Fort Lauderdale’s trendiest spot. Since its rebirth the area has been undergoing significant urban renewal. Developers, artists and residents have transformed the neighborhood, city blocks at a time. It is now noted for its budding art districts, residential developments and most recently its restaurants. It’s been described as a “Funky area with lots of colorful large murals on warehouse walls” where artists and creative businesses have studios which showcase contemporary art, and often push the envelope with experimentation in their cultural productions and a place for creative expression.
