The Ritz-Carlton Residences Fort Lauderdale

On a quiet stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway on Fort Lauderdale Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach bring a limited collection of 83 waterfront residences to one of South Florida's most established addresses. Two towers, joined by a resort-style pool deck, offer two- and three-bedroom homes plus den, backed by the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton and a full slate of resort-caliber amenities.

Residences are priced from $3.4M, and sales have not yet formally launched — an early window to understand the project, compare it against alternatives, and position yourself before pricing and availability are widely released.

Interiors are by Dan Fink Studio, blending white oak, warm stone, and light woods into a calm, coastal palette. Every residence opens onto a private terrace with Intracoastal or Atlantic views, and the collection is rounded out by a limited number of penthouses with larger-scale outdoor living.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach sits in the heart of Fort Lauderdale's arts, culture, and yachting scene — minutes from Las Olas Boulevard, the Bahia Mar Marina and Yachting Center, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, with a concentration of MICHELIN-recognized restaurants nearby. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is a short drive away, making this an easy address to reach and to leave from.

“This project is entering the market at the pre-sales stage, which is exactly when the right guidance matters most — before pricing, unit selection, and deposit terms are locked in. Branded residences carry real advantages, but also real fine print. Understanding what The Ritz-Carlton name does and doesn't guarantee, and confirming a residence's actual water frontage versus its marketed views, are the kind of details I walk buyers through before they ever sit down with the sales team.”

• The building fronts the Intracoastal Waterway, not the ocean directly. Marketing materials describe “extraordinary views of the Atlantic Ocean” from the residences — that's a view claim, not a frontage claim, and the developer's own materials confirm the site “is not oceanfront.”
• The Ritz-Carlton name is used under a license from Marriott International. The project is not owned, developed, or sold by Marriott — standard for branded residences, but worth understanding before you buy.
• No estimated completion date has been disclosed in current marketing materials.
• The project is in pre-sales (listed as “Coming Soon” by the developer), with a published starting price of $3.4M as of August 2026. A full unit-by-unit price sheet and floor plan package were not yet available at publish time.
• Deposit structure and HOA/association costs have not been disclosed yet.
• This is a two-tower project — once a full price sheet is released, confirm which tower and floor plan a given price applies to.

• What is a branded residence?

  A branded residence is a privately developed and owned home that carries the name and service standards of a hotel brand under a license agreement. Buying one doesn't mean buying into the hotel company itself — it means the building's design, amenities, and resident services are held to that brand's standard, and often come with brand-affiliated perks.

• Is The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach owned by Marriott?

  No. The project is developed by 551 Bayshore S.P.E., LLC, backed by MICL and Admire Capital, with PMG as development manager. The Ritz-Carlton name is used under a license from Marriott International — standard practice for branded residences.

• Is this building oceanfront?

  No. The project fronts the Intracoastal Waterway. Residences are marketed with Atlantic Ocean views, but the developer's own materials confirm the site itself is not oceanfront.

• What is the starting price?

  Residences are priced from $3.4M, per the developer's August 2026 introductory materials. A detailed, unit-by-unit price sheet was not yet available at publish time — contact Andy for current figures.

• How many residences are there, and what sizes are available?

  83 residences across two towers, in two- and three-bedroom layouts plus den, ranging from approximately 1,550 to 3,480 square feet, along with a limited number of penthouses.

• When will construction be complete?

  An estimated completion date hasn't been disclosed in current marketing materials. Contact Andy for the latest timeline directly from the sales team.

• Is the project currently selling?

  The developer currently lists the residences as “Coming Soon” — sales have not formally launched. Registering your interest early is the best way to be notified as pricing, availability, and floor plans are released.

• What's the difference between the Residences and the Penthouse Collection?

  The Residences are two- and three-bedroom homes plus den, from roughly 1,550 to 3,480 square feet. The Penthouse Collection sits at the top of the towers, with up to 11-foot ceilings and select units offering private rooftop terraces and plunge pools.

• Why work with an independent buyer's advisor instead of going straight to the sales gallery?

  On-site sales teams represent the developer's interests. An independent advisor — like Andy, who spent 13 years on the developer side before moving into buyer representation — gives you a dedicated resource for evaluating the project, understanding contract terms, and staying on track from a pre-sales reservation through closing.

• Do I need to register with an agent before visiting the sales gallery?

  Registration requirements vary by project. Contact Alvarez Group before your first visit so we can confirm what's required for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach specifically.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach has not yet released a public price sheet or floor plan package — the development is in its pre-sales phase. Contact Andy today to be among the first notified as pricing, availability, and floor plans become available.

Buying at the pre-sales stage of a branded residence raises its own set of questions — from how registration works to what a deposit actually secures. See below for what buyers should know before their first visit.
