Fort Lauderdale station is a train station under construction in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is planned to be served by All Aboard Florida's Brightline rail system, connecting Miami and Orlando International Airport. The station will be located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, on NW 2nd Avenue between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street, adjacent Broward County Transit's Central Terminal.
Construction for the station began October 2014 with the demolition of existing structures on the site. The complex when completed will consist of an elevated concourse above an 800-foot long, 35-foot wide island platform for the trains. The station will be a modern style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse echoing the designs of the Miami and West Palm Beach stations also under construction on the line. It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects. Planned completion is the end of 2016.
