Condo Addition to The Whitfield Hotel – Fort Lauderdale
Groundbreaking – 2022 | Completion – N/A
Developers Steve Hudson and Charlie Ladd have proposed the addition of 17 luxury condos to the under-construction Whitfield Hotel in Fort Lauderdale. It was originally approved for 140 keys with 5,698 square feet of retail in 10 stories.

Condo owners at The Whitfield will be welcomed by a separate lobby but also have access to all hotel amenities, including a rooftop pool, café, and expansive spa.
