The Pomp Entertainment District: How Pompano Beach Is Building a New Lifestyle Destination
Pompano Beach is in the middle of one of the most ambitious transformations in South Florida — and at the center of it all is The Pomp, a multi-billion-dollar redevelopment that’s reshaping how people live, work, and play in the city.
What was once known primarily as Pompano Park is being reimagined into a vibrant, mixed-use destination combining entertainment, dining, residential living, and public spaces — all designed to elevate daily life for residents and attract visitors year-round.
A Brief Look at The Pomp’s Timeline
The vision for The Pomp has been years in the making. City leadership, developers, and planners aligned on a long-term strategy to transform the former racetrack and casino property into a true lifestyle district.
The project is being developed in phases, with entertainment and retail anchors opening first to activate the site, followed by residential, hotel, office, and additional mixed-use components over the coming years. The full buildout is expected to extend into the 2030s, positioning The Pomp as a long-term driver of growth for Pompano Beach.
Confirmed Businesses & Entertainment Anchors
What sets The Pomp apart is the caliber of nationally recognized brands already committed to the project — creating instant momentum and visibility.
-
Topgolf Pompano Beach – Already open and operating, Topgolf has quickly become one of the district’s most popular attractions. Its combination of entertainment, food, and social experiences has helped establish The Pomp as a destination rather than just a redevelopment site.
-
Harrah’s Pompano Beach – The casino remains the central anchor of the district and has undergone renovations to modernize the experience. Harrah’s brings year-round activity, entertainment, and foot traffic that supports surrounding businesses.
-
Live! at The Pomp – A major lifestyle and entertainment hub planned within the district, modeled after successful Live! developments across the country. This area will include multiple dining, nightlife, and social venues designed to create energy day and night.
-
Sports & Social – A high-energy sports bar and lounge concept featuring massive screens, interactive games, and a lively social atmosphere.
-
PBR Cowboy Bar – A country-themed bar and live music venue complete with mechanical bull rides and a nightlife-focused experience that will draw visitors from across South Florida.
-
Together, these concepts are designed to make The Pomp a true entertainment destination — not just for weekends, but as part of everyday life.
What’s Still Coming
Beyond the initial entertainment anchors, The Pomp’s long-term vision includes:
-
Residential communities with thousands of new units
-
Hotels to support tourism and events
-
Retail shops, restaurants, and cafés
-
Office and flexible workspace
-
Public plazas and walkable streetscapes
-
Proposed major retail anchors, including Costco
As each phase comes online, the district will continue to mature into a self-contained community where residents can live, socialize, and entertain without leaving the neighborhood.
Impact on Lifestyle & Community
For locals, The Pomp represents a major lifestyle upgrade. Instead of driving to Fort Lauderdale or Boca for dining, nightlife, or entertainment, residents will have high-quality options right in their backyard.
The development also creates new gathering spaces — places to meet friends, attend events, and enjoy the city in a more connected, walkable environment. This shift is already changing how people perceive Pompano Beach, especially among younger buyers and those relocating from larger metro areas.
What This Means for Real Estate
From a real estate perspective, The Pomp is a catalyst.
Properties near large-scale lifestyle districts historically see increased demand, stronger long-term appreciation, and higher rental interest. Buyers are drawn to proximity — not just to the beach, but to dining, entertainment, and everyday conveniences.
As residential phases come online and the entertainment district matures, nearby neighborhoods are likely to benefit from increased visibility, infrastructure improvements, and elevated buyer interest.
A Local Realtor’s Perspective
Pompano Beach is no longer just an “in-between” city. With projects like The Pomp, the waterfront redevelopment, and branded luxury residences rising across the city, it’s carving out its own identity — modern, energetic, and lifestyle-driven.
For buyers and investors looking ahead, The Pomp isn’t just about what’s open today — it’s about where Pompano Beach is going next.
