Merrick Square: A New Kind of Townhome Living in West Pines

New Construction in Pembroke Pines?

It’s no secret Pembroke Pines is built out. The cranes have mostly moved on, the dirt’s been spoken for, and new construction has gotten nearly impossible to find. That’s what makes Merrick Square worth watching. As of this month, it’s one of only two actively selling new construction communities in the entire city and it’s the newest of the two. So while the price point sits high for a townhome, the story here isn’t just about cost it’s about access.

Who It’s For

Scarcity drives the story
Merrick Square isn’t some sprawling development it’s a tight collection of newly built, modern townhomes tucked just south of Pines Blvd and west of 172nd. With land nearly maxed out across the city, it’s a rare shot at new construction west of I-75 that isn’t a teardown or a seven figure custom build.

Designed for buyers who are tired of “fixer-upper” compromises
You’re looking at 3–4 bedroom, two story townhomes with quartz counters, waterfall kitchen islands, tile flooring downstairs, frameless showers, and impact glass. In other words: the stuff people expect in 2025, not 1998.

Location stays strong
Zoned for Panther Run, Silver Trail, and West Broward High, all solid public school options. Plus, you’re minutes to I-75, Pembroke Gardens, and a string of parks and grocery options. Quiet, but connected.

This isn’t a budget option, it’s a modern convenience play
With prices starting in the low $500Ks, Merrick Square sits on the high end of the townhome market here. But that’s the price of new construction in a city where very little of it still exists. You're paying for fresh finishes, low maintenance, and zero renovation stress, not a discount.

Insider Tip

These units are selling in waves, and most don’t hit the MLS until they’re nearly ready. If you’re even thinking about something like this, whether as a primary home or a rental play, talk to a local agent who’s plugged into the release schedule. With single family home prices climbing, this kind of new build townhome is becoming the next move for a lot of buyers priced out of west Pines.
