This remarkable 29 story beachfront condominium project has been the talk of the town since it was first proposed.

"Las Olas Beach Club will be the only place in the whole area that has exactly what I'm looking for." -President and CEO of A1A Wine and Spirits. Las Olas Beach Club will have floor to ceiling windows and unbelievable views of Fort Lauderdale's beach, our Intracoastal Waterway and the glittering new office and residential towers of downtown.
Residences range from 1902 square feet plus lavish terraces. The smallest unit has two terraces, totaling more than 200 square feet of outdoor living space.
The largest in the main tower depicted in the artist's rendering here will be a floor-thru model with east and west terraces. It will offer three bedrooms plus den and four full baths in more than 3000 square feet of luxurious air conditioned space. Two expansive terraces bring the total to nearly 3600 square feet of opulent living space. These gracious homes started at $1.2 million in the pre-construction phase.
Two Penthouses are over 4300 square feet each and offer at least three bedrooms and three baths.
Individual residences will be the ultimate in luxury, featuring private elevators, and too many first rate amenities to detail here but will include everything one would expect from a project by the Related Group, a distinguished South Florida developer responsible for Aquazul, Beach Club In Hallandale, and now Icon Las Olas as well as other visionary projects.
In addition, some very special residences were designed into the project on the beach side of the building (left foreground in artist's rendering above). These are behind the sensitively preserved and restored facade of the Lauderdale Beach Hotel, a 1936 art-deco landmark that had been slated for demolition but will instead become part of Fort Lauderdale's future as part of this new project. These range from 3100 to 3600 square feet and sold out as soon as they were announced.
In addition to that distinctive architectural feature, Las Olas Beach Club will include other fine design work.
The Toronto architectural firm of Yabu Pushelberg has reportedly been selected for the two story lobby, where slab stone and rich hardwood panels are planned.
This firm was founded in 1980 by George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg. Their work has been covered in Architectural Record and their credits range from the lobby of the W Hotel in New York's Times Square to the interior of the Four Seasons Hotel in Marunouchi, Tokyo. They were design partners in renovation of the classic art deco interior of the Tiffany & Co. flagship store as well as a new plaza level of the world renowned Bergdorf Goodman department store, both on New York's Fifth Avenue.
In addition, we look forward to magnificent landscaping and water features, a state-of-the-art health and fitness center, a port cochere entrance, a magnificent pool and spa area with fountains and a poolside bar overlooking the beach, a billiard parlor, game room, screening room, and more than one great eatery and retail space. Services will include a 24 hour concierge and valet parking.
Jorge Perez, Chairman and CEO of Related Group told the Sun-Sentinel's Robyn Friedman, "We're really trying to make this into a club to provide all the amenities that anybody would ever want."
The location puts you minutes from the downtown offices and the dining, galleries and exclusive shops and nightlife of Las Olas Boulevard and Riverwalk, leading to a wide range of cultural, dining and shopping venues in Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District.
This is the only new condominium-only project underway on the beach at this time. If you are looking for a fabulous home in a deluxe new building at an unbeatable location, this could be your big chance.
Only recently, a city election turned on the issue of what some perceive as over-development, and experts agree it could be a while before another project of this scale is approved on the beach.
