What is Hillsboro Mile?

Hillsboro Mile is the 3.2-mile A1A stretch running through the Town of Hillsboro Beach, roughly between the Hillsboro Inlet at the north end and the Pompano Beach border at the south. Most of the Mile's parcels face directly onto the Atlantic Ocean; a smaller set of back-row properties face the Intracoastal Waterway. It holds one of Broward County's highest concentrations of direct-oceanfront single-family estates.

Does Hillsboro Beach have ARCOM-style architectural review?

No. The Town of Hillsboro Beach does not operate an ARCOM equivalent — new construction moves through the town's standard building permit review without a separate design-review board. This makes the town's permitting rhythm faster than the Palm Beach County barrier-island towns. The CCCL permit is the main timeline driver on oceanfront parcels, not local design review.

What are typical construction costs on Hillsboro Mile?

$1,000 to $1,600 per square foot for oceanfront new construction, excluding land, architecture, landscape, pool, and FF&E. Oceanfront transactions on the Mile consistently clear $10 million; the largest parcels — typically 100 feet of oceanfront and up — close between $20 million and $30 million. Back-row Intracoastal-facing parcels run roughly 25% less.

What permitting applies to Hillsboro Beach oceanfront work?

Oceanfront parcels require a Florida DEP Coastal Construction Control Line permit in addition to the town's building permit. The CCCL permit governs foundation type, scour and wave-load engineering, dune protection, and finished-floor elevation to FEMA flood maps. CCCL review typically runs 90 to 180 days; it should run in parallel with the town's permit review to avoid adding sequential delays.

Has Sabal delivered projects in Hillsboro Beach?

Sabal delivered 1105 Hillsboro Mile, an oceanfront residence on the Town's prime A1A stretch. The project exercised the full CCCL pathway and the foundation and flood-elevation engineering Hillsboro Beach oceanfront requires. For owners evaluating a teardown or new-build on the Mile, the delivered-project history establishes the working discipline the address demands.

Overview

Hillsboro Beach, Hillsboro Beach

The Town of Hillsboro Beach is a 3.2-mile barrier-island town of roughly 2,000 residents, bordered by Pompano Beach to the south and the Town of Deerfield Beach to the north. Hillsboro Mile — the town's signature A1A stretch — holds one of the highest concentrations of direct-oceanfront single-family estates in Broward County. The town's review process is straightforward relative to Palm Beach County — no ARCOM, no overlay districts — but every oceanfront parcel is governed by Florida's Coastal Construction Control Line, which drives foundation, elevation, and wind-load engineering. Oceanfront transactions consistently clear $10M, with the top of the market approaching $30M on the larger Hillsboro Mile parcels.
