It all started in 2020 - as a tidal wave of wealthy buyers came crashing onto South Florida’s shores. With the trend only getting stronger as we move into 2021, developers across Miami, Hollywood, and Fort Lauderdale have found favorable market conditions to move ahead with new condo developments.

We saw Miami close March 2021 with an unprecedented number of sales, launches and announcements in the pre-construction segment (read details here), and Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach seem to be following suit. Palm Beach’s Nautilus 220 launched sales this March. The Related Group won key approvals to build a high-rise condo project in Hollywood. And, Hallandale Beach’s 2000 Ocean is getting closer to completion.

Read on for details on these and other updates part of our monthly roundup for March 2021 on Fort Lauderdale’s condo pre-construction market:

The Related Group is the developer of choice for Hollywood City Commission’s upcoming condo project on the beach. The mega project slated for construction at the 4-acre site at 1301 South Ocean Drive will feature a significant number of public amenities and improvements.

A true public-private partnership, where the developer will be funding all the improvements to the city-owned site, upgrades at this beachfront development would include a brand-new culture and community center, improvements to the Harry Berry Park, a boardwalk extension, new restaurants, and public parking.

For now, the residential component of the mega-development is planned to feature 250-300 condo units, and is tentatively being called Icon Residences Hollywood. The 30-story building will be built as close to A1A as possible, in order to preserve view corridors for its neighbors. Designed by Arquitectonica, pre-sales for the condos will begin only once the site plan is approved.

Fort Lauderdale commissioners have turned down developer Jimmy Tate’s proposal for a $1 billion Bahia Mar condominium project. The developer had pitched for a 651-condo unit development on the publicly-owned waterfront property. The site fronts the Intracoastal Waterway and is a few steps from the beach on Fort Lauderdale’s barrier island.

Developer Jimmy Tate is currently approved to build seven 11-story buildings with 651 apartments, a 256-key hotel, a yachting-amenities complex, a marina village, and retail on the site. Going back to the drawing board, the developer is expected to come back with a new proposal soon. The developer will need lease extensions on the site for approval on the condo project. The public-owned site is currently home to the Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach – a DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton.
