Fort Lauderdale’s New and Pre-Construction Condo Update: November 2021
Dec 08, 2021 December 08, 2021
Throughout the year, we have seen businesses and wealthy people continue fueling luxury condo developments as well as sales in South Florida. And developers are working double-time to provide supply for this demand. Add to this the recent lifting of travel bans, and developers are more motivated than ever to bring their plans to life.
Stepping up on progress this November, Kar Properties announced that 2000 Ocean is closer to securing its TCO and preparing to move forward with closings. Developer Daniel S. Catalfumo has a 6-story luxury condo development planned for Palm Beach County that will feature private dockage. And The Related Group finally closed on a bulk condo buyout deal it has been pursuing for over a year in Pompano Beach. The group’s new 21-story luxury tower will replace an older condo building on the beach.
Read on below for details on these and more in our monthly condo pre-construction market roundup for November 2021:

Developer Daniel S. Catalfumo plans to build a 6-story luxury condo building on a 6.74-acre site just south of PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach County. The $33 million site includes parcels at 2036 and 2060 Sandy Hill Lane, 2080 Shady Lane, and 11511 Ellison Wilson Road. Once home to the Panama Hattie’s seafood restaurant, the site has been lying vacant for several years.
Catalfumo was one of the developers at the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Singer Island about 12 years ago. He now aims to build a luxury condo on par with the St. Regis or Ritz-Carlton. Although the assemblage is approved for 132 units, Catalfumo will be filing a new site plan for 96 condos. Units are expected to range from 3,300 to 5,000 square feet in size, with pricing estimated at $3 million to $5 million. The 6-story condo will also feature a private dock.
