Medical office space in Pompano Beach.

By Chase Farache, Broker Associate, Silver Lining Realty Group. Updated October 2026.

Hospital access from Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach practices draw on hospitals in three directions. To the north, Broward Health North on Sample Road in Deerfield Beach is adding a six-story, 127,033-square-foot medical office building with cardiovascular, neuroscience and orthopedic care, expected in 2027. To the south in Fort Lauderdale, Broward Health Imperial Point (6401 N. Federal Hwy.) and Holy Cross Health (4725 N. Federal Hwy., 557 beds) anchor the North Federal Highway corridor. To the west, HCA Florida Northwest Hospital is a 289-bed hospital at 2801 N. State Road 7 in Margate.

That makes Pompano a practical base for practices with privileges at more than one hospital, and for primary care, dental, therapy and urgent care users who care more about patient access and parking than about being on a campus.

Pompano Beach's medical office zoning standards

Pompano Beach is one of the Broward cities with use-specific standards for health care uses in its zoning code, Section 155.4209. Those standards can cover operating hours, overnight treatment, distance from single-family and two-family districts, and separate rules for urgent care, ambulatory surgery and hospital-based off-campus emergency departments. The city has been amending this section in 2026, so read the adopted text, not a summary.

• Hours. If you plan evening or weekend hours, confirm the treatment-hour limits that apply to your suite, especially near residential districts.
• Urgent care and surgery. These uses carry their own separation, access and size rules. Confirm them before you sign a letter of intent.
• Use table. Check that your use is permitted in the property's zoning district, and get a zoning verification from the city if there is any doubt.

These rules decide whether evening hours or procedures are possible in a given suite, so they belong at the top of the checklist.

Other things to check

• Parking. A change from office or retail to medical can change the parking requirement. Get the site plan and your allocated spaces.
• Accessibility. Federal ADA guidance calls for exam rooms with an accessible route, 30 by 48 inches of clear floor space beside the table and a 60-inch turning space. Landlord and tenant share responsibility; the lease should split it.
• Build-out. Sinks, plumbing, electrical and shielding for imaging, ceiling height and after-hours HVAC. See the build-out guide.
• Licensure. A surgery center needs an AHCA license under s. 395.003, F.S. Practitioner-owned practices are generally exempt from clinic licensure under s. 400.9905.

Lease or buy

Owner-users can consider medical condos or small freestanding buildings; SBA 504 loans can finance an owner-occupied purchase or renovation. Leasing preserves capital and flexibility. Compare using the buy vs. lease guide and read the Broward zoning guide before committing to a building.

Lease terms to negotiate

Because Pompano's standards can limit hours and procedures, write your permitted use into the lease precisely, including any evening hours you need, and make the landlord confirm the suite can be used that way. Also ask for rent to start after build-out, the right to assign the lease if you sell the practice, limits on relocation, and a clear list of improvements you must remove at the end.
