Hollywood Commission enters into purchase and sale agreement for the former Sunset Golf Course.
Following a long and difficult process, the Hollywood Commission entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the former Sunset golf course property located at 2727 Johnson St. during the May 20th Commission meeting.
The seller is listed as Richgreens LP.
The money for the purchase is coming from the General Obligation Bond which was approved on March 12, 2019.
The Commission voted to contract with the sellers of the former golf course for $12 million. The due diligence period is 120 days and the City is indemnified. The closing is dependent on the seller’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the irrevocable closure of all violations.
The property, which is about 45 acres, is slated for development as a nature preserve and passive public park space.
The Hollywood Commission agreed to some major purchases at a recent meeting:

Hollywood sells land at 1600 South Park Road to developer
During a recent meeting, the Hollywood Commission agreed to sell 23 acres of city-owned property at 1600 South Park Road to Park Road Development for $3,240,500.
The property is considered a Brownfield site and will have to be cleaned up and remediated before it can be developed. At one time the property was an uncontrolled landfill and incinerator ash dump. The goal of the redevelopment includes creating quality architecture, creating jobs, and having a development that benefits the community.
The development plans include 315 multifamily units and retail development — including a major retailer or grocery store with 40,000 square feet, 25,000 square feet for five or six smaller retail stores, and 3,000 to 6,000 square feet for a convenience store or gas station.
The City of Hollywood public works facility will remain on the site, but it will be rebuilt to include updated office space and workshops.
