A Comparison of the FEATURES of New Construction Fort Lauderdale Condos

Comparing The DETAILS of  New Construction Fort Lauderdale Condos

#7. The Terraces Northbeach Village

The Terraces is a boutique development located in the heart of uber-cool Northbeach Village. This quaint beachside neighborhood has a European vibe that visionary Swedish entrepreneur Par Sanda created. In 2008, Sanda purchased 30 rundown properties one block from the beach. Since then, he and his team have invested more than $100 million into the immediate area. According to Christine Sposa, VP of Operations for Northbeach Village, “When Sanda first came to Fort Lauderdale, he truly felt he was in paradise. He wanted to create a European-style village with plazas, bistros, and places where locals and tourists can gather and converse”.

Selling Points of the Terraces

Location is essential, and although The Terraces is not waterfront, the atmosphere and village vibe make it a standout property worthy of consideration, especially with neighbors like the Four Seasons. The Terraces feature only 18 corner residences with wrap-around terraces, floor-to-ceiling glass, and ten-foot ceiling heights. The best line to consider is the A-line flow-through unit with balconies to the east and west, providing sunrise and sunset views. Besides, you will even have ocean views from this line.

The Terraces offer laidback sophistication, larger units with lower prices per square foot, lower maintenance fees, and boutique luxury. Click the link below to explore the details, and call or email with any questions.

#6. Selene Residences Fort Lauderdale

The two slender towers of Selene will be located across from famed Ft Lauderdale beach in the heart of “Luxury Row” just south of the new Four Seasons Residences. They will be the tallest beachfront buildings on Ft Lauderdale beach at 26 stories providing incredible ocean, skyline & Intracoastal Waterway views. The pedigree behind this condo project is exceptional, with development by Kolter Group and architecture designed by Kobi Karp.

The arrival experience at Selene will exude anticipated luxury. The design allows for a circular drive approach with water features and ocean views. There will be a ground-level restaurant, yet to be revealed, similar to Eddie V’s. The other amenities and lifestyle elements are as you would expect from a luxury development.

Selene began their sales effort in spring 2021. The reservations were pouring in so quickly that we anticipated a fully reserved condo by July 2021. Instead, the developer put a hold on reservations at the beginning of summer 2021. After a long pause, Selene’s reservations went to contract. Now with contracts at more than 70%, Selene broke ground in December 2021. The excitement and interest in Selene, however, have not diminished.

The Best Floor Plan at Selene

Our recommendation for the best line at Selene is Tiffany. This line is in the south tower, which is set back and away from A1A. The Tiffany is a Southern flow-through unit with expansive ocean and Intracoastal Waterway views. The floor plan offers three bedrooms plus a den, four baths providing a 3,264 SF living area, and a 746 SF wrap-around terrace. Additionally, the den in the Tiffany has a window and connects to a full-size bathroom. Also, the den can easily be enclosed to make a small 4th bedroom.

The units at Selene are delivered Decorator-Ready, which means no finishes are included in the offered price. If you are not one of the many Buyers that enjoy having their units customized to individual taste, you can purchase a separate Developer Design Package. The packages start at $276k and are based on the square feet of the unit. For additional details and to view floor plans in Selene, click below.

On the heels of their success with Solemar in Pompano Beach, the Related Group has moved forward with their next luxury project, Casamar. This beachfront project will embrace all the learned knowledge garnered from prior luxury builds, including the iconic and distinctive Auberge in Ft Lauderdale.

The location is 3.2 acres with views of the landmark lighthouse at Hillsboro Inlet. Pompano Beach is known for expansive and wide beaches with characteristic dunes and seagrass. Casamar will have 283 linear feet of beachfront along this highly desired stretch. The luxury sister project Solemar is located just to the north.

Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach is a current hotspot for luxury developments. The city has invested $50 million into the beachfront pier area by adding a new parking structure, beachfront restaurants, and a rebuilt pier. Moreover, additional improvements are in the works as the city attracts additional luxury development. In addition, the location near Boca Raton and Ft Lauderdale opens many lifestyles, cultures, and transportation options.

#1. The Residences at Pier Sixty-Six

This project, although already underway, has little about it online. What we can tell you is that it is unique!
Located in the Harbour Beach area of Fort Lauderdale, this prestigious and Ultra luxury condo will boast a limited number of two to four-bedroom residences, spread across an incredible 32 acres. The Residences at Pier 66 will be home to a marina that residents can utilize. The marina at Pier 66 will accommodate vessels up to 400 ft! The project is slated for completion in 2024 and will be home to 62 units.
We like the project because it saves the heritage of an iconic structure in Fort Lauderdale. It is a beloved icon that used to have a rotating restaurant at the top of the tower. Moreover, Pier 66, at one time, was the tallest building in Fort Lauderdale.

The developers are retaining the deco-modern style of the structure, and are building out the 32 acres to blend seamlessly with the neighborhood. The idea is to make it a yachters paradise which coincides beautifully with Fort Lauderdale being the yachting capital of the world. Luxury, yachting, icon structure, and the history of Fort Lauderdale all blended into one beautiful location.
