Every city has a project that defines its luxury ambitions for a generation — the development that, once complete, becomes the benchmark against which everything else is measured. For Fort Lauderdale, that project is the St. Regis Residences at Bahia Mar. Located at the intersection of A1A and the Intracoastal Waterway, on a site that has been synonymous with Fort Lauderdale's waterfront identity for decades, this two-tower, Related Group and Tate Capital development will be the most consequential residential project ever built in Broward County.

Key market shifts

The St. Regis Residences Bahia Mar — 79 and 160 units in two towers designed by Arquitectonica at $1,400/sqft average, with pricing starting at $2M for 1-bedroom residences and reaching $5M and above for larger configurations — is still in reservation stage at 38% absorbed. For a project with a Q4 2029 completion, the timeline provides buyers with meaningful runway to enter at pre-construction pricing before the project's absorption velocity accelerates in conjunction with its construction progress visibility.

The Bahia Mar marina site creates a visual and physical relationship with Fort Lauderdale's waterway network that is unique among the city's new development offerings. Views extend to the Atlantic and across the Intracoastal in a configuration that the urban core developments to the west (Ombelle, Viceroy, Sixth & Rio) cannot replicate regardless of price or design quality.

Buyer and investor implications

The St. Regis brand's operational infrastructure — butler service, Remède Spa, curated dining — embedded in a Fort Lauderdale address at $1,400/sqft represents one of the most compelling brand-to-price arguments in the Q1 2026 pipeline. Comparable St. Regis pricing in Sunny Isles ($2,950/sqft) and Miami Brickell ($2,400/sqft) frames the Fort Lauderdale price point as a meaningful discount for equivalent brand access.

Strategic takeaway

Buyers who understand the Fort Lauderdale market's trajectory and the St. Regis brand's price-discovery history in Miami and Sunny Isles are positioned to recognize Bahia Mar's pricing as early-stage rather than current-stage. The 38% absorption level represents the last window before construction milestones accelerate demand.
