Five Broward County developments merit a closer look for resale-minded buyers, from branded Pompano Beach oceanfront addresses to Fort Lauderdale’s marina waterfront. The decisive question is not simply which building to buy, but whether a particular residence’s size, floor, view and entry price support a defensible exit.
A compelling waterfront residence can be easy to desire and difficult to price for resale. For buyers evaluating Broward County’s new luxury condominiums, the more useful question is not which address feels most prestigious. It is whether a particular residence can attract another buyer at an acceptable price when ownership priorities change.
New-construction purchases make that distinction especially important. Branding, architectural presence and an appealing waterfront setting may support demand, but none establishes resale speed across every floor plan. A building can offer several persuasive reasons to buy without every residence sharing the same exit prospects.
The five developments below form a qualitative shortlist, not a measured ranking of resale performance. Their appeal rests on branding, product variety, waterfront differentiation, advertised entry prices and delivery milestones. None should be treated as a proven liquidity leader across unit sizes, floors and view lines.
1. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach: South Ocean Boulevard corridor
This two-tower, 205-residence development combines oceanfront and marina settings. That distinction underpins its first-place position: recognizable luxury branding paired with different waterfront experiences. Advertised asking prices start at approximately $2.5 million. September 2026 is the scheduled delivery date, not confirmation of completed delivery.
For a resale-minded buyer, the task is to examine each tower as a distinct product rather than assume the brand creates identical demand throughout. Oceanfront and marina residences offer different reasons to purchase. Whether either setting supports a faster exit or a more resilient premium requires closed-resale comparisons, not a building-wide assumption.
2. Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach: Boutique-style oceanfront positioning
Waldorf Astoria combines branded residential positioning with a boutique-style beachfront identity. With more than 40% sold during construction, the development shows a signal of primary-sales demand. A June 2026 milestone marked topping off, with completion anticipated around 2027.
Its second-place position reflects that combination of identity and early buyer interest, not demonstrated secondary-market turnover. Construction-stage sales do not establish how quickly an owner can later resell a specific layout. Buyers should distinguish interest in the overall project from evidence supporting their selected residence’s eventual resale price, particularly when paying a premium for a preferred floor or orientation.
3. Selene Oceanfront Residences: Fort Lauderdale Beach view variety
This dual-tower development offers varied floor plans and ocean, side-ocean, city and Intracoastal orientations. That product diversity is the principal reason for its inclusion: buyers can compare distinct waterfront living options within one development.
Selene has been listed with a 2025 completion date, although that designation alone does not establish current closing status. Nor does the view mix demonstrate that direct-ocean residences outperform alternative orientations. The practical purchase question is whether comparable transactions support the premium for a particular view and elevation, rather than the intuitive appeal of a higher floor.
4. Pier Sixty-Six Residences: Fort Lauderdale marina waterfront
This waterfront development centers on Fort Lauderdale’s marina and yachting lifestyle, near the Intracoastal Waterway and Port Everglades. Its setting offers buyers a distinct alternative to a conventional beachfront purchase. Reported 2025 completion and closings also make it relevant to those seeking near-term resale exposure.
Delivery, however, does not measure buyer-pool depth. A marina-oriented residence should be evaluated on its own merits; oceanfront comparables are not interchangeable. The fourth-place rationale rests on lifestyle distinction and reported closings, not a quantified advantage in days on market or resale absorption.
5. Salato Residences: Pompano Beach waterfront corridor
Salato’s advertised starting price of approximately $1.8 million offers a lower entry point than Ritz-Carlton Pompano’s approximately $2.5 million starting ask. A June 2026 milestone marked Salato’s completion, adding a delivery consideration to its pricing proposition.
That lower advertised threshold earns it a place on the shortlist, but does not establish superior value or faster turnover. Starting prices are neither closed-sale comparables nor assurances of current availability. Buyers should compare the actual residences available within their budget, then test whether the price difference remains meaningful after accounting for size, floor and view.
A disciplined comparison separates three variables that marketing can blend together: unit size, floor and view line. Ask for closed resales grouped by bedroom count and interior area, then by floor band and orientation. Review transaction counts alongside days on market and sale-to-list ratios; a single sale warrants a cautious conclusion.
At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach, separate the oceanfront and marina settings before comparing residences. At Selene, distinguish direct-ocean, side-ocean, city and Intracoastal orientations. These are comparison categories, not a hierarchy of likely resale speed.
For size, test the total purchase price as well as price per square foot. For floor, isolate the premium between otherwise similar residences. For view, ask what the premium actually purchases and whether completed transactions support it. The available evidence does not establish that larger layouts, corners or higher floors sell faster.
The appeal of Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach is clear: beachfront positioning, a recognizable name and construction-stage sales momentum. Yet primary sales and owner resales answer different questions. The former measures initial project demand; the latter tests an individual owner’s exit.
Before committing, request current competing inventory and distinguish developer offerings from owner listings. Ask whether comparable asking prices have translated into closings. A strong brand belongs in the purchase thesis, but it should not substitute for evidence at the intended resale price.
Scheduled completion, topping off and completed closings are different milestones. Confirm each project’s status before tying a purchase timetable to occupancy or a resale strategy to an established ownership market.
Nearby Casamar was delivered in summer 2025 and has an active resale market. That makes it relevant neighborhood context for Pompano Beach, not proof of liquidity at the five ranked developments. Any comparison still requires adjustments for the residence and setting.
The strongest purchase is not automatically the highest floor, the most expansive view or the lowest starting price. It is the residence whose premium you can explain, whose alternatives you understand and whose exit assumptions you have tested without confusing lifestyle appeal with transaction evidence.

Begin a quiet conversationNo. The ranking is a qualitative shortlist based on potential demand factors, not measured resale performance across unit sizes, floors or views.
Its recognizable branding and separate oceanfront and marina settings offer distinct buyer propositions. The development comprises two towers and 205 residences, but those characteristics do not establish resale speed.
It indicates primary-sales demand during construction. It does not measure how quickly an individual owner could resell a residence.
Selene’s mix includes ocean, side-ocean, city and Intracoastal orientations. No documented resale-speed advantage is established for any one category.
Reported 2025 completion and closings make delivery status part of its appeal. Its marina and yachting positioning is distinctive, but buyer-pool depth is not quantified.
No. Its approximately $1.8 million published starting price is below Ritz-Carlton Pompano’s approximately $2.5 million starting ask, but advertised prices do not establish turnover.
No such advantage is established here. Buyers should test floor and view premiums against completed transactions for otherwise comparable residences.
Request closed-resale counts, days on market and sale-to-list ratios segmented by size, floor band and view orientation. Keep developer offerings separate from owner resale inventory.
No. Delivery information ranges from reported completion and closings to scheduled dates, including September 2026 for Ritz-Carlton Pompano and anticipated completion around 2027 for Waldorf Astoria Pompano.
Casamar was delivered in summer 2025 and has an active resale market. It offers neighborhood context, not direct proof of liquidity at the ranked developments.
