The first standalone Waldorf Astoria Residences — 92 oceanfront homes on two private acres in Pompano Beach
Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach is the first standalone Waldorf Astoria Residences in the world — a ground-up tower conceived as a residence rather than a hotel with apartments attached. Developed by Related Group, the Florida luxury condominium developer founded by Jorge M. Pérez, together with Fort Lauderdale's Merrimac Ventures, it is designed by Nichols Architects in collaboration with KORA Architects, with interiors by BAMO and landscape design by Enea Garden Design. Waldorf Astoria, part of Hilton, operates the building and its amenities.
The 28-story tower holds only 92 residences across two oceanfront acres, with 200 linear feet of private beachfront directly on the sand. Curved, layered balconies up to ten feet deep wrap the façade and orient every home toward the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway. Inside, BAMO's interior architecture favours natural stone, marble and restrained material palettes over ornament, with each residence entered through its own private elevator and foyer.
Pompano Beach sits between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, a lower-density stretch of Broward County coastline that has historically lacked a fully branded residential offering at this level. This is not simply an oceanfront condominium. It is the brand's first purpose-built residential address, set on a scarce parcel of private sand.
Life here is organised around the sound and light of the ocean rather than around a list of features. Floor-to-ceiling glass and deep curved balconies pull the Atlantic into every principal room, while flow-through corner residences capture ocean, Intracoastal, and city exposures in a single home. The private elevator and entry foyer mean residents arrive into their own space with no shared corridor.
BAMO's interiors are built to recede in favour of the view. Gourmet kitchens carry custom Italian cabinetry, natural stone countertops and backsplashes, and fully integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf packages; primary bathrooms are clad floor-to-ceiling in marble with terrazzo flooring, dual Italian vanities, custom freestanding tubs, and Dornbracht fixtures throughout.
The result is a building that feels less like a tower of apartments and more like a private residential club set on its own beach.
Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach occupies a positioning gap that is structurally difficult to reproduce.
First, brand scarcity: this is the only standalone Waldorf Astoria Residences in the world, operated rather than merely licensed, with Hilton's service standards and Diamond ownership benefits built in. Second, physical scarcity: 92 homes on two private oceanfront acres with 200 linear feet of beach is a far lower density than the towers that dominate the South Florida coast, and the supply of undeveloped oceanfront land in Pompano Beach is effectively closed. Third, authorship: Related Group and Merrimac Ventures, with Nichols, BAMO, and Enea, bring a delivery record that de-risks an off-plan purchase. Fourth, timing: the building topped out in 2026 with more than 85 percent of residences already under contract, ahead of a 2027 completion.
This is not simply a branded condominium. It is the brand's first residential flagship, on land that cannot be made again.
The investment case rests on structural positioning rather than projected return. Branded residences in South Florida have consistently transacted at a premium to comparable unbranded stock, and a standalone, fully operated Waldorf Astoria address with only 92 homes sits at the scarce end of that category. The fixed quantity of oceanfront land in Pompano Beach limits future competing supply, while the broader migration of capital and full-time residents to Broward County supports demand.
Immediate competing inventory at this brand tier on the Pompano Beach oceanfront is minimal, and the barrier to new supply is land scarcity rather than zoning sentiment alone. Owner benefits — Hilton Honors Diamond status, worldwide property discounts, and a Resident Yacht Club Membership — add utility independent of price movement. No specific return projections are implied.
Related Group, founded in 1979 by Jorge M. Pérez, is Florida's leading developer of luxury condominiums, having built and managed more than 100,000 residences across a portfolio exceeding $40 billion. Merrimac Ventures, its Fort Lauderdale partner, holds interests in projects including Miami Worldcenter and the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Fort Lauderdale. Their combined record is exactly the kind of delivery history that an off-plan oceanfront purchase depends on.
Waldorf Astoria's role here is operational, not cosmetic: the brand manages the amenities, services, and resident experience, from the concierge and Director of Residences to the Peacock Alley-inspired lounge and beachside dining. The partnership is integrated from design through operations, rather than a superficial branding arrangement.
Access to current availability and pricing is arranged privately through the sales gallery. Detailed floor plans, pricing schedules, furnishing specifications, deposit terms, and yacht-club documentation are available upon request.
Pompano Beach occupies a quieter stretch of the Broward County coast between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, long valued for its wide public sand, low-rise character, and a working inlet that gives it a genuine boating culture rather than a purely resort one. As capital and full-time residents have moved north from Miami and Fort Lauderdale, the city has drawn new dining, a redeveloped pier district, and a marina economy — without yet acquiring the wall of branded towers found further south. It attracts buyers who want oceanfront permanence and water access without the density of South Beach or Sunny Isles.
The balance of the area is what distinguishes it: a deep-water inlet and marina culture on the Intracoastal side, an uninterrupted public beach on the ocean side, and two international airports within reach. It is coastal South Florida at a more measured pace — connected, but not crowded.
It is the first standalone Waldorf Astoria Residences anywhere — a ground-up tower conceived purely as a residential building rather than a condo wing attached to a hotel. The 28-story tower holds only 92 homes on two oceanfront acres with 200 linear feet of private beachfront, giving it a density far lower than most South Florida towers. Residents receive Waldorf Astoria service operation and Hilton Honors Diamond status for the length of ownership. The combination of standalone scarcity, low unit count, and full brand operation is difficult to replicate.
The developers are Related Group, Florida's leading luxury condominium developer founded by Jorge M. Pérez, and Merrimac Ventures, a Fort Lauderdale-based developer with a portfolio spanning Miami Worldcenter and the Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale. Architecture is by Nichols Architects in collaboration with KORA Architects, with interiors by BAMO and landscape design by Enea Garden Design. Waldorf Astoria, part of Hilton, operates the residences and amenities.
The tower offers 92 residences ranging from two-bedroom-plus-den layouts of 2,097 interior square feet to four-bedroom-plus-den corner homes of up to 3,557 interior square feet. Every residence has a private elevator and entry foyer, private balconies up to ten feet deep, and BAMO-designed interiors with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Pricing starts from $2.5 million, with three- and four-bedroom direct-ocean homes ranging into the $4.3 million to $6.2 million band.
Purchasers receive Hilton Honors Diamond status for the duration of ownership, with up to two accounts for the initial buyer, plus worldwide owner discounts at more than 7,300 Hilton properties. On-site services include a Waldorf Astoria personal concierge, a dedicated Director of Residences, 24-hour security and reception, valet, and a private chargeable account for hotel services. Owners may also purchase one of 19 resident boat slips and access a Resident Yacht Club Membership.
The tower sits directly on the sand at 1350 South Ocean Boulevard in Pompano Beach, Broward County, between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is roughly 25 to 30 minutes south, downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas Boulevard about 25 minutes, and Boca Raton about 20 minutes north. The Hillsboro Inlet and Pompano Beach Pier are within a short drive.
The project is under construction by Coastal Construction and topped out in 2026, with completion expected in 2027. More than 85 percent of the residences were under contract during construction. The deposit structure is staged at 20 percent on contract, 10 percent at groundbreaking, 5 percent at top-off, and 65 percent at closing. Prospective buyers should reference the developer's prospectus and the documents required under Section 718.503 of the Florida Statutes.
Ownership includes direct water access as a distinct value driver: 19 resident boat slips are available for purchase alongside one courtesy dock, and owners can take up a Resident Yacht Club Membership with marine concierge services. On leasing, branded residences of this type are typically governed by condominium rules that favour longer-term tenancies over nightly rentals, so buyers seeking a rental strategy should confirm the minimum-lease terms and any brand restrictions in the developer's prospectus. Because the building is operated by Waldorf Astoria, a leased residence still benefits from full brand management of the amenities and common areas. Prospective buyers should reference the documents required under Section 718.503 of the Florida Statutes for the definitive rental and use provisions.
