The Latest Proposed and Approved Condo Projects
Fort Lauderdale Beach is experiencing one of its most active periods of condominium development, with new luxury projects proposed or underway along both the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Developers are replacing older hotels, apartment buildings and low-rise commercial properties with larger residences, resort-style amenities and expanded waterfront spaces. The current pipeline ranges from intimate boutique buildings to major mixed-use destinations with hundreds of condominiums, hotel rooms, restaurants and shops. Together, these projects reflect Fort Lauderdale’s continued evolution into a nationally recognized luxury coastal market.
Opus at 701
Opus at 701 is an approved 13-story luxury condominium planned for a 0.78-acre Intracoastal site at 623 and 701 Bayshore Drive. The development will replace the 12-suite Manhattan Tower Hotel, built in 1955, and a neighboring 11-unit apartment building dating to 1949. Plans include 54 residences ranging from approximately 1,303 to 3,384 square feet, with an average residence size of about 2,028 square feet. The building will offer two-bedroom, two-bedroom-plus-den and three-bedroom residences, along with four three-bedroom-plus-den penthouses. Amenities will include an Intracoastal-facing pool, private cabanas, club and dining rooms, a spa, fitness and yoga facilities, plus a rooftop pool and clubhouse. Opus at 701 was designed by Adache Group Architects, with CNB Contracting identified as the developer.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach

The project is being developed by MICL and Admire Capital, with architecture by Garcia Stromberg and interiors by Dan Fink Studio.

Second-floor amenities would include a pool, fitness center, resident lounge with catering kitchen, golf simulator, sauna, yoga room and dog wash, while an automated basement parking system would accommodate 115 vehicles.

A New Generation of Fort Lauderdale Beach Condos
These developments demonstrate how varied the Fort Lauderdale Beach luxury market is becoming, from branded residences and boutique Intracoastal buildings to expansive mixed-use destinations. Buyers will have options ranging from relatively intimate buildings with fewer than 50 residences to large-scale communities containing hundreds of condominiums, hotel accommodations and public spaces. Several projects are still moving through the approval process, which means designs, residence counts, amenities and construction schedules may change. Buyers considering a preconstruction purchase should confirm the current development status, deposit structure, estimated completion schedule and condominium documents before making a commitment.
