Mainstreet is the future downtown epicenter of the City of Coconut Creek. This 157-acre mixed-use development is planned as a pedestrian friendly, cycle-centric community, with trails and paths throughout the development for the public to utilize. Wide-open green spaces and a grand public plaza will create a sense of community with programming for all residents to take part in. Mainstreet will consist of a mix of retailers and restaurants, including a large anchor-grocer, an extensive greenway system, beautiful parks, a centralized community gathering space, known as Mainstreet Square, City facilities, and residential neighborhoods. Mainstreet will serve as the go to destination for the City of Coconut Creek’s residents and neighboring communities.
The property has a longstanding history in Coconut Creek. Known by most as the John’s Family Farm, the property was originally purchased by Eva and Joe Johns who moved here from North Florida in 1918 with a horse and wagon, only for winter at first, and farmed beans. They permanently settled in South Florida in 1921 and began to build their homestead. Their son, Earl Johns, a true pioneer of Broward County, ran the farm until his passing in 2009. Earl John’s legacy lives on through his family and will continue through dedicated spaces of Mainstreet that will honor him and educate the public on the deep-rooted history of the property.
The property is currently approved for 3,750 residential units, 525,000 sq. ft. of office space and 1,625,000 sq. ft. of commercial space.
We plan to develop a lower density, mixed-use development comprised of commercial, residential, and public uses.

Our plan does not include any office, a 100% reduction from the current approvals.
