Fort Lauderdale sits in Broward County, one of South Florida’s core commercial markets. Based on 426 recorded commercial sales since 2022, the median sale price in Fort Lauderdale is about $415 per square foot — 22% above the Broward County median of $340/SF.
Half of Fort Lauderdale’s commercial sales closed below that figure. Value-oriented product traded closer to $272/SF at the lower quartile, while prime, waterfront, or newly built assets pushed well higher — the median is the middle of a wide range, not a single "market price."

What moves price per square foot in Fort Lauderdale
Price per square foot in Fort Lauderdale swings widely by asset type, submarket, and condition. Retail and multi-story office generally command a premium per foot; warehouse and industrial trade lower; and tenancy, lease terms, and building age move any individual property far from the median. A per-square-foot figure is a screening tool — the real value of a specific property comes from comparable sales for that exact address and asset type.
