A new Starbucks with a drive-through is being planned for a vacant portion of property located at 3885 N. Federal Highway in Pompano Beach.

The project is being developed by Boca Raton-based Schmier Property Group, which owns the 2.23-acre property through its affiliate 3885 N. Federal, LLC. The project is currently going through the City’s review process.

According to the proposed site plan, the 2,575-square-foot Starbucks building would be pushed towards Federal Highway with an entrance provided along this frontage for pedestrians walking from other nearby locations.

The vehicular entrance/exit point would be on the road that runs along the west side of the property. The single drive-through lane would be located behind the building (on the west side), to make it less visible from the main thoroughfare.

An outdoor covered patio would be provided to encourage pedestrian activity at the forefront of the property. Additional landscaping would be planted on the property as part of the proposed project.

The portion of property that lies directly south of the proposed Starbucks is currently occupied by a vacant former bank building. The developer plans to transform the two-story, approximately 7,300-square-foot empty building into a luxury pet hotel.
