The Whitfield Las Olas – Fort Lauderdale

Groundbreaking – 2022 | Completion – 2027

The Fort Lauderdale City Commission approved amended site plans this January, allowing developers Steve Hudson and Charlie Ladd to proceed with building their mixed-use at 1007 East Las Olas Boulevard. Hudson and Ladd recently shifted gears, announcing that their mid-sized hotel project will now be developed as a boutique hotel and condominium, adding 17 condos to the original hotel plan.

Designed by New York’s Stonehill Taylor Architects, the 12-story building will feature five condos each on the 8th, 9th, and 10th floors, along with two penthouses on the 11th floor. The rooftop will feature a pool with cabanas, a café, and two private dining rooms.

The hotel side at Whitfield will consist of only 81 rooms, a reduction from the previously planned 138 rooms. It will operate as an independently branded luxury property affiliated to the Leading Hotels of the World. 

Condo owners at The Whitfield will be welcomed by a separate lobby with private elevators but will have access to all the hotel amenities, including a rooftop pool, café, and expansive spa. The proposed condo-hotel will feature roughly the same amount of retail space as initially proposed but will not allow short-term rentals.

Prices are expected to range from $3.7 million to $15 million.

Owner Playa House LLC has proposed the construction of a new oceanfront high-rise at 1928 South Ocean Drive. The LLC seeks to change the existing plat for 22 multifamily units to 30 condos under the new development plans. Plat documents for the 1.22-acre property are submitted for review to the Broward County Commission.

The oceanfront site was formerly home to the 22-unit Biltmore Mansions condo, which was demolished in 2021. Playa House LLC acquired the older condos for a total of $32.38 million and subsequently dissolved the condo association in 2018. The site remains vacant following the demolition.
