First Look: The Ritz-Carlton Residences Fort Lauderdale Beach

Fort Lauderdale’s luxury waterfront evolution continues with the debut of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach,a boutique, design-driven residential address rising 13 stories at 551 Bayshore Drive, uniquely positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Developed by MICL in partnership with Admire Capital, and exclusively represented by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, this intimate dual-tower enclave will feature just 83 private residences, with pricing beginning at $2.5 million. The limited collection signals a clear intention: elevated privacy, architectural distinction, and a refined coastal lifestyle tailored to today’s high-net-worth buyer.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences Fort Lauderdale offer a Boutique Approach to Coastal Living

Architecture by Garcia Stromberg, paired with interiors by Dan Fink Studio create a design language shaped by light, water, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The residences include two- and three-bedroom layouts with dens, ranging from approximately 1,550 to 3,480 square feet, along with six penthouses crowning the towers. Select homes feature ceiling heights up to 11 feet, enhancing natural light, openness, and spatial elegance.

The dual-tower layout has been carefully planned to maximize ocean breezes, preserve privacy, and capture sweeping water views. Many residences enjoy sightlines of both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal—an increasingly rare and desirable perspective in Fort Lauderdale.

Interiors Defined by Craft and Comfort

Each residence is finished with timeless materials and thoughtfully curated details designed to balance sophistication with livability, including wide-plank white oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, expansive private terraces, Shaker-style cabinetry with integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, spa-inspired primary bathrooms with freestanding soaking tubs and Waterworks fixtures, custom built-ins, and full-size vented washers and dryers.

Select residences feature private elevator lobbies and separate service access, enhancing discretion and convenience. Certain penthouses elevate the experience further with private rooftop terraces and plunge pools—creating a rare private retreat above the coastline.

Resort-Inspired Amenities & Waterfront Access

Amenities are curated to reflect Fort Lauderdale’s relaxed yet sophisticated lifestyle. Between the two towers, landscaped gardens form a tranquil central promenade featuring a lap pool, leisure pool, private cabanas, an outdoor bar pavilion, and a limited number of Intracoastal dock slips.

Interior amenity spaces include a resident lounge with catering kitchen, screening room, multi-sport simulator, conference room, and a dedicated children’s playroom—designed to support both private relaxation and effortless entertaining.

Signature Ritz-Carlton Service & Global Privileges

Residents benefit from The Ritz-Carlton’s legendary service standards, delivered by an on-site team offering 24-hour valet, concierge, and lifestyle coordination. Ownership also includes membership in ONVIA, Marriott’s exclusive owner recognition platform, granting access to curated global travel benefits and lifestyle partnerships spanning yachting, golf, culture, and wellness.

With only 83 homes, timeless architecture, carefully curated amenities, and globally recognized hospitality, the project stands out as a distinctive and design-forward addition to the city’s evolving skyline.
