Broward’s next luxury chapter: branded, waterfront, and selective
In Broward, “new construction” is no longer a single bucket. The market is separating into two distinct, high-demand lanes: larger, lifestyle-forward buildings where service is part of the value proposition, and low-density waterfront addresses where privacy is the primary amenity. Both are gaining visibility along the ocean and the Intracoastal as buyers prioritize durability, predictability, and the kind of daily ease once associated mainly with five-star hospitality.
This distinction matters because the ultra-luxury buyer pool in South Florida continues to show resilience. Even as broader conditions shift, market narratives still point to meaningful liquidity at the top end. In practice, the most compelling pre-construction offerings compete on fundamentals: true waterfront orientation, credible brand standards, and a delivery timeline that feels close enough to underwrite while still early enough to secure the right inventory.
What “Broward 2026” really signals for high-net-worth buyers
A 2026-targeted pipeline invites a specific kind of buyer calculus. You are not only selecting a floorplan. You are committing to a future operating reality: staffing, maintenance posture, insurance tolerance, and the resilience assumptions that increasingly define long-term waterfront value.
Market commentary is also shifting. Climate adaptation is being treated less like a checkbox and more like a premium feature set. Buyers are asking sharper questions about storm-hardening, elevation strategy, and how management will navigate tightening insurance conditions and rising owner expectations. In Fort Lauderdale, the Fortify Lauderdale initiative is frequently cited in market narratives as part of a broader resilience and infrastructure posture that informs how buyers think about durability over time.
At the same time, the top end of the buyer journey remains private and network-driven. That is a key reason branded residences can feel like a more legible purchase within a fragmented new-development landscape. The service model and operating standards provide a clearer framework for what ownership should feel like after closing, not just at the sales gallery.
The Top 5 new luxury developments in Broward for 2026 (ranked)
1. Ritz-Carlton Residences Pompano Beach – 1380 S Ocean Blvd Planned as a dual-tower branded project with 205 residences, this oceanfront and Intracoastal concept is marketed from about $1.5M+ with a target completion in 2026. The dual orientation is a meaningful differentiator. Buyers can choose open-ocean exposure or Intracoastal dynamics while staying within one cohesive, brand-led ecosystem.
From a lifestyle perspective, the brand promise often translates into a more managed residential experience, with hospitality-style standards functioning as a signal of consistency in service and operations.
2. Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach – 1350 S Ocean Blvd Positioned as a standalone residential tower with no hotel component, this project is planned for 92 residences. Pricing is marketed from about $2.6M+, with an expected 2026–2027 delivery window.
The smaller unit count can be decisive for buyers who want a quieter, more discreet environment without giving up the sophistication and recognition of a global flag.
3. Oasis Hallandale – 1000 E Hallandale Beach Blvd A large mixed-use project planned with about 500 residences plus about 95,000 square feet of retail and office, Oasis Hallandale is marketed with staged delivery, including a West Tower timeline marketed for 2026. Construction reporting has also noted progress on the East Tower reaching roughly halfway up as of late 2025.
Scale is the story. Mixed-use density can create convenience and a more complete daily rhythm, especially for buyers who split time between South Florida and other markets.
4. Sage Intracoastal Residences – 900 Intracoastal Dr, Fort Lauderdale Sage is a boutique waterfront condo concept with 44 residences, marketed from roughly $2.9M+. The emphasis is low-density living relative to the broader tower pipeline.
Industry updates have reported that the project secured a $115M construction loan after achieving pre-sales thresholds, an important execution signal for buyers who track delivery risk as closely as design and finishes.
5. Riva Residenze – 3019 Harbor Dr, Fort Lauderdale Planned for 36 residences and marketed from about $3.5M+, Riva Residenze is positioned as a Riva (Ferretti Group) yacht-branded waterfront condo with a private marina concept. The identity is explicit and tailored to a yachting-centric buyer who wants the building’s positioning to align with a maritime lifestyle.
In a market that often rewards scarcity, the 36-residence scale reads as intentional exclusivity, not merely a smaller footprint.
Branded residences in Pompano-beach: the service premium becomes the product
A defining shift in Broward is the rise of branded residences as a luxury baseline rather than a niche category. The appeal is not only logo recognition. It is the operational blueprint behind the name: hospitality-style management, service culture, and clearer expectations for what ownership looks like day to day.
For buyers focused on Pompano-beach, it is worth watching how two offerings express “brand” differently. The Ritz-Carlton Residences® Pompano Beach is positioned around a dual-tower concept that includes both oceanfront and Intracoastal product within the same development. Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach, by contrast, is promoted as a standalone residential tower without a hotel component, which can matter to buyers who prefer a quieter residential cadence.
The shared takeaway is clear: at the highest end of Broward’s new product, competition is increasingly about an elevated standard of living and operational clarity, not only square footage.
Hallandale’s mixed-use scale: convenience, momentum, and trade-offs
Hallandale is increasingly discussed as a place where scale can create a different kind of luxury, one built around proximity and reduced friction rather than pure seclusion. A mixed-use plan with meaningful retail and office can support a second-home lifestyle with fewer car trips, more on-foot routines, and a neighborhood that feels active beyond weekends.
The trade-off is equally real. Large projects can feel less intimate, and some buyers will experience that energy as a feature while others will read it as noise. The sophisticated approach is not to label mixed-use scale as better or worse, but to match it to how you actually live, how often you entertain, and how much you value on-site convenience versus controlled quiet.
Fort-lauderdale’s waterfront: boutique scarcity and the boating city effect
Fort-lauderdale is frequently characterized as a multi-billion-dollar waterfront ecosystem, supported by a dense marina network and extensive navigable waterways. That “boating city” profile is not just lifestyle language. It is structural demand support for residences that integrate water access, yachting adjacency, and an owner community that tends to prize discretion.
Two themes buyers are tracking are brand adjacency and boutique scale. For a yachting-forward expression, Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale speaks directly to identity, tying residential living to a recognized name in luxury boating. For buyers who prefer a hospitality-led, globally recognizable approach within the same coastal sphere, Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences Fort Lauderdale is often evaluated for its service culture and the clarity that comes with established luxury operations.
As always on the water, sophistication is in the details: management depth, durability assumptions, and the everyday friction you remove from ownership once the building is operating.
A buyer’s checklist for 2026 deliveries
In a 2026-oriented pipeline, the most important questions are practical and quietly decisive.
First, treat “starting at” pricing as a positioning statement, not a contract. Inventory mix, floor elevation, and view corridors are where pricing can shift, sometimes meaningfully.
Second, understand density as a lifestyle choice. A 500-residence mixed-use environment will behave differently than a 36-residence waterfront boutique building, from elevator patterns to amenity usage to the general cadence of the property.
Third, ask how resilience is being operationalized. Waterfront luxury is increasingly tied to storm posture, long-term maintenance planning, and how governance will respond as insurance and climate realities evolve.
Finally, remember that at the top end, access can be as important as analysis. The most aligned opportunities may surface through private networks and disciplined representation, not only through public listings.
