Pompano Beach is shedding its "sleepy neighbor" reputation in a massive way. The site of the legendary Pompano Park harness racing track is being reborn as The Pomp, a 223-acre, multi-billion-dollar "city-within-a-city" that aims to bring a Las Vegas-style energy to the heart of South Florida.
A joint venture between The Cordish Companies and Caesars Entertainment, this project isn't just a development—it’s a total reimagining of how we spend our weekends in Broward County.
The Vision: Live, Work, and Play (24/7)
While many developments claim to be "mixed-use," The Pomp is operating on a different scale. Spanning nearly the size of a small town, the master plan includes:
* The Entertainment Anchor: A Live! Dining & Entertainment District featuring over 25,000 square feet of high-energy venues like Sports & Social and the PBR Cowboy Bar (complete with the signature mechanical bull).
* The Gaming Core: The newly rebranded Harrah’s Pompano Beach serves as the heartbeat of the site, having already undergone significant renovations to offer a premium casino experience. * The Retail Giant: In a major 2025 update, Costco was confirmed as a massive retail anchor, expected to open in late 2027 and bring hundreds of jobs to the area.
* Luxury Living: The plan calls for 4,000 luxury residential units, turning the site from a "commuter destination" into a permanent neighborhood.
* Office & Hotel: With 1.35 million square feet of Class A office space and two brand-new hotels, it’s designed to attract both corporate headquarters and tourists.
Already Open & What’s Next
You don’t have to wait until 2028 to see the progress. Topgolf Pompano Beach is already open and thriving, serving as a beacon for the entertainment yet to come.
As of early 2026, construction is visible across the site. The project is being built in phases, with the "Live!" district and the initial residential towers expected to be the next major milestones. The scale of the project means we’ll likely see new openings staggered over the next 5 to 7 years.
Why It’s a Game Changer
For years, Pompano Beach was known for its quiet beaches and local charm. The Pomp bridges the gap between the luxury of Fort Lauderdale and the family-friendly suburbs to the west. By creating a massive social hub right off I-95, it’s set to become one of the most visited destinations in Florida.
