Monahan Home Association, Inc. a Florida not for profit corporation, formally known as Knights of Columbus Council No. 4851, Home Association, Inc., a Florida not for profit corporation for $4,600,000.00.
The lot area is 87,098 sq. ft. (approximately two acres). The building area is 7,828 sq. ft. The land use is Community Facility (COMFAC), and the zoning is Medium-High Intensity, Commercial District C-4.
On June 10, 2025, Planning and Development Board approved a design, site plan and variance to reduce landscaping in the C-4 Commercial District for Bluevis, LLC’s proposed ~22,000-square-foot outdoor padel facility.
The property was listed for sale in March 2025 for $6,500,000.00. The price was reduced to $5,995,000.00 on February 9, 2026. City staff negotiated the terms and price of $5,250,000.00 with the property owner’s real estate agent. Staff also obtained two appraisals that were both $5,250,000.00.
The property is bordered by the City’s Stan Goldman Memorial Park on both the north and south, and if purchased it would result in the park being contiguous from Hollywood Boulevard to Johnson Street. If acquired by the City, this property would also provide an additional much needed ~80 parking spaces to those partaking in the many amenities that offered within Stan Goldman Memorial Park, including but not limited to pickleball, skateboarding, a dog park, and a fitness walking path. The structure could be utilized for Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts to house Park Rangers and other Park’s Maintenance Staff. It could also be available for other City department needs and activities.

Funding for this purchase will be made available in the FY 2026 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan in account numbers to be determined.
