The Ritz-Carlton
Residences
Fort Lauderdale Beach
551 Bayshore Drive · Between the Atlantic & the Intracoastal
A Boutique Waterfront Address
Where the Intracoastal
Meets the Atlantic
Fort Lauderdale is having a genuine moment. Not a real estate trend — a transformation. The city that has long been called the Yachting Capital of the World is now being recognized as a premier national luxury coastal market, and developers are responding accordingly. Among all the projects arriving on Fort Lauderdale's waterfront, none is more intentional — or more boutique — than this one.
Only 83 residences. Two 13-story towers. Perfectly positioned at 551 Bayshore Drive, between the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. Designed by Garcia Stromberg with interiors by Dan Fink Studio — and delivered under the legendary standard that has defined The Ritz-Carlton since 1898. This is not a large development trying to impress with scale. It is a small, considered collection trying to impress with quality. There is a difference.
Scheduled for completion in 2029, with pre-construction pricing starting from $2.5 million. Sales and marketing are exclusively represented by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing — the top luxury sales firm in the country.
Fort Lauderdale has always attracted the world's most discerning buyers. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach is simply the first address worthy of them.
The Collection
Life at Bayshore Drive
The Residences
Thoughtfully Designed
Step inside and the design philosophy becomes immediately clear. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, opening onto spacious private terraces with unobstructed water views — Intracoastal to the west, Atlantic to the east. The light moves through these residences differently at every hour. That was intentional.
The kitchen is a chef's kitchen in the truest sense — European-style custom cabinetry, warm marble countertops, and a full-height marble backsplash frame a fully integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance suite. No exposed appliances. No visible handles. Just clean, considered design that happens to perform at the highest level.
In the bathrooms, Bronze Waterworks fixtures lend a sophisticated patina to spa-inspired spaces finished in warm stone and tone-on-tone palettes. Freestanding soaking tubs. Walk-in closets in the primary suites. European solid-core doors throughout. Wide-plank white oak floors that warm every room. Custom built-ins. Full-size vented washers and dryers. Every detail considered. Nothing overlooked.
In most residences, private elevator vestibules and dedicated service elevators mean your arrival and departure are entirely your own. And the six penthouses — with ceilings reaching 11 feet, private rooftop terraces, and individual plunge pools — simply represent the pinnacle of what this collection has to offer.
Resort-Inspired Living
World-Class Amenities
Step outside your tower and the world slows down. Between the two towers, a lush landscaped promenade designed by West Palm Beach–based Nievera Williams frames a 75-foot resort-style lap pool for those who take their morning seriously, and a separate leisure pool for the days when the only agenda is sun and stillness. Private cabanas. A poolside bar with artful mosaic tile work. An open-air BBQ area. A bayside walk along the Intracoastal for evening strolls. And a limited number of private dock slips for owners who prefer to arrive by water.
Inside, every amenity was curated with the same deliberate care as the residences. A resident owner's lounge with a fully equipped catering kitchen — ideal for private dinners and celebrations. A private screening room. A next-generation TechnoGym fitness and performance center with a dedicated yoga studio. A spa unlike anything in Fort Lauderdale — with a Private Treatment Suite, Meditation Garden, Ice Therapy Room, Traditional Hammam Bath, Multi-Sensory Experience Shower, Restorative Plunge Pool, and Therapeutic Steam and Sauna Chamber. A multi-sport simulator. A conference room. A children's playroom. And a thoughtfully designed dog park — because every member of the family deserves to feel at home.
The Ritz-Carlton Standard
Service Beyond Expectation
The Ritz-Carlton standard was not invented yesterday. Since 1898, it has meant one thing — anticipatory service. Not reactive. Anticipatory. Your needs addressed before you know you have them. A dedicated on-site team delivers this standard exclusively for the 83 families who call this address home.
Ownership also unlocks access to ONVIA — Marriott's global owner recognition platform. Yacht access. Golf privileges. Curated cultural experiences worldwide. Travel benefits across Marriott's portfolio of over 8,000 properties. This is not a membership you apply for. It comes with your address.

The Team Behind the Vision
Developed with Purpose
This team was assembled with one standard in mind: the best. MICL Group brings over six decades of pioneering construction and real estate excellence — a portfolio that includes shipping ports, supertall skyscrapers, and over three million square feet of development worldwide. Alongside Diana Ulis and Admire Capital, and with PMG as development manager — the same firm behind the Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami — this is a group that has delivered the most demanding projects on the planet. Garcia Stromberg designed the facades to be "enhanced and enriched by sun and shadow, reflecting brilliant facets of light off the waterfront." Dan Fink Studio created interiors that foster "connection and energy — spaces where life is well-lived in a vibrant, tasteful, and timeless seaside setting." And Nievera Williams shaped the outdoor landscapes with the same quiet sophistication that defines their work across Palm Beach and the Hamptons. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing serves as the exclusive sales and marketing partner. Every name on this project carries weight. Every decision reflects it.
