Amid an unprecedented surge in demand for upscale residential properties across South Florida, once-overlooked markets like Pompano Beach are seizing the opportunity to captivate prospective residents. Nestled amidst renowned destinations like Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach now stands out as one of the most rapidly growing property markets within the Sunshine State.
In an exciting new partnership, acclaimed developers Related Group and Merrimac Ventures have joined forces with hospitality leader, Hilton, to introduce the stunning Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach (The Residences). A unique opportunity to live in a piece of history, this remarkable development represents Waldorf Astoria’s official debut into purely residential concepts and its first project in Broward County.
Designed to deliver the opulence and ease of Waldorf Astoria’s legendary five-star service, coupled with premiere architecture and amenities, this remarkable development raises the bar of ultra-luxury oceanside living in Pompano Beach.
The stunning, 28 story property features just 92 meticulously crafted residential units with premiere designs spearheaded by Nichols Architects in collaboration with KORA, interiors by BAMO, and landscaping by Enea Landscape Architecture. With a hospitality-infused amenity package – including a beachfront cafe with room service, resident lounge, pool, jacuzzi, and cabanas with poolside dining and wellness facilities – the new build will add further momentum to South Florida’s growth and be part of Pompano Beach’s evolution into a highly sought-after address.
“We set out to distill the timeless elegance and exclusivity of the Waldorf Astoria brand into a purely residential format,” said Nick Perez, President of Related’s condominium development group. “We dedicated months to delving into the rich history of the Waldorf Astoria brand, speaking with its brand ambassadors and immersing ourselves in its finest destinations around the world—all to capture every nuance and subtlety of the brand’s timeless essence.”
South Florida’s ‘Goldilocks Zone’
The Residences’ unveiling comes amidst a major renaissance for Pompano Beach, a city lovingly known as “Florida’s Warmest Welcome.” Related and Merrimac Ventures have been working for decades to drive the thoughtful transformation of Pompano, and the broader Broward market, into an undeniable upscale destination.
Long known for its relaxed, laidback lifestyle and white-sand beaches, Related and Merrimac have been active in bringing impactful new housing developments to Broward County for many years Related, known for pioneering markets years ahead of the competition, was the first to enter Pompano Beach, launching Solemar, the area’s first luxury condo tower in several decades, in March of 2020 during the onset of a global pandemic. While many developers paused operations, Related kept selling. In less than six months, they sold out all 105 units, closing on more than $200 million at Solemar. In typical Related tradition, the success of Solemar kicked off a gold rush in the Pompano Beach market.
“Pompano Beach is in a ‘Goldilocks’ zone,” said Perez. “The area sits right in between Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach, giving residents access to the very best the region has to offer at much friendlier prices.”
“Pompano Beach’s transformation has been extraordinary – the result of many years of careful, thoughtful development and public investment in the community, which we’ve witnessed in the last decade since we’ve owned the site,” said Dev Motwani, CEO of Merrimac Ventures. “While we’ve completed several developments in the market over the years, we’ve always felt that this property was unique and intentionally waited until we found the right vision for this specific location. Now, with Related and Hilton as our partners, we’re excited to move forward on what is sure to be a transformative development, not only for Pompano but for northern Broward County as a whole.”
Merrimac Ventures and the Motwani family have been developing and operating in Broward County for more than 30 years, with $3 billion in capital deployed to date and an active pipeline valued over $3.7 billion. Related and Perez family have an equally prolific history in Broward, with neighborhood-defining projects dating back several decades and several billion dollars under active development.
