April 2024: Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach Pre-Construction Condo News Update

Billionaire and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross grabbed headlines this month as he broke ground on West Palm Beach’s South Flagler House and proposed a brand-new, two-tower condo community in the neighborhood. In what’s an emerging trend, developers across South Florida, including Ross’ Related Companies (not Related Group), are proposing condo towers in partnership with religious bodies to create communities with a deeper sense of belonging.

Further, with developers staying bullish on beachfront development sites due to consistent buyer demand, a pair of Canadian developers purchased a 1-acre lot that is pre-approved to build a condo-hotel in Pompano Beach. Read below to find details on these and more updates in our April 2024 pre-construction condo market round-up for Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach:

Owing to great buyer response after launching sales just last November, New York-based Related Cos. accelerated its construction schedule to break ground this April. Bringing a touch of New York to West Palm Beach, billionaire Stephen Ross’ Related Companies selected two prominent design studios to help develop the landmark project. Pembrooke & Ives will be handling interiors, while the award-winning Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) will handle architecture.

Located at 1355 S. Flagler Drive along the Intracoastal, South Flagler House will rise as a pair of 28-story towers, with a total of 108 sprawling residences. Units will range from a very generous 2,000 square feet for a one-bedroom to over 13,000 square feet for a five-bedroom home.

Health and wellness-focused amenities will include a 25-meter lap pool, an ice plunge pool, a hot tub, a steam and sauna room, a fitness center, a Pilates studio, a yoga studio, a pickleball court, a golf simulator, and a sports lounge. Other amenities include a lounge with a catering kitchen, private dining rooms, a game room, a media room, a wine room, a salon, a children’s playroom and lounge, a butterfly garden, and a library. Several guest suites will also be available to host residents' friends and family.

Prices range from $5.9 million to $72.5 million, with a choice of one- to five-bedroom residences and penthouses.

Submitting a proposal to the City’s Development Review Committee, developer Integra Investments revealed its plans for the 1.26-acre site at 2828 to 2908 East Sunrise Blvd. Back in 2021, Integra had proposed building a 100-room hotel and a 55-room condo on the parcel, now it has changed its plans to a single, 14-story tower with 76 condos.

Switching plans to offer a more efficient structure with added amenities, the proposed project is designed by Coral Gables-based Nichols Architects. Units will range from 1,144 square feet for a one-bedroom to 2,067 square feet for a three-bedroom residence. A pickleball court and fitness facilities will sit atop the parking garage (in a separate building), and a rooftop pool deck will adorn the condo tower.

Just a few blocks from the beach, most residences would have views of Taylor Birch State Park to the north and up the coastline. The boutique condo's ground floor will further feature another fitness center and lounge.

Prices are expected to start under $2 million, with a choice of one- to three-bedroom residences. The developer hopes to launch sales later this year with a traditional rental policy for its units.

Tapped to create “one of the most iconic church campuses in the country,” developer duo Related Cos. and Frisbie Group submitted plans for 1101 S. Flagler Dr. this April. The 9.6-acre campus is currently owned by the Family Church. New York-based Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates is the architect of choice for the redevelopment project.

The downtown West Palm Beach parcel would feature a 32-story tower and a 28-story tower, offering a total of 190 condos. Each tower would have water views and a maximum height similar to that of South Flagler House, which is also developed by New York’s Related Cos. 

Additionally, the lot would be home to a revamped and high-functioning church, a new early childhood education building, a K-8 school for the church’s academy, plus a new parking garage to serve both the condo building and the church. The project plans to strengthen the partnership between the church, home, and school to create a flourishing community in a quiet yet walkable neighborhood. 

Stephen Ross-led Related Cos. had also launched sales in February for its 26-story Shorecrest condos in West Palm Beach on a similar synagogue partnership model.

Canadian developers Efstathios Tsatas and Nicolas Tsatas purchased a key, 1-acre, beachside parcel for $9.5 million this April. The shovel-ready site at 330 Southeast First Street was previously approved to carry a 21-story condo-hotel with 240 units and over 4,000 square feet of commercial space, filed under the name Pure Residences. Since Efstathios Tsatas owns another 2.08-acre parcel directly north of this site, we will be keeping a close watch on plans.

February is undoubtedly one of the best times of year to visit Miami. The weather is delightfully perfect, with temperatures ranging between 64°F (18°C) and 78°F (26°C). These mild and sunny days are perfect to enjoy beach outings, sightseeing, and outdoor activities – a wonderful escape from the cold winters and snow in most other parts of the country.
