Revolutionizing Oceanfront Luxury: Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach

Waldorf Astoria’s First Purely Residential Concept Raises the Bar for Ultra-Luxury Living in Burgeoning Beach Town

Amidst a remarkable surge in demand for upscale residential properties across South Florida, emerging markets such as Pompano Beach are seizing the moment to allure prospective residents. Situated amidst renowned destinations like Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach has emerged as one of the fastest-growing property markets in the Sunshine State.

In an exciting collaboration, esteemed developers Related Group and Merrimac Ventures have partnered with hospitality leader Hilton to introduce the breathtaking Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach (The Residences). Offering a unique opportunity to reside in a piece of history, this extraordinary development marks Waldorf Astoria’s inaugural venture into purely residential concepts and its premier project in Broward County.

Crafted to epitomize the opulence and convenience of Waldorf Astoria’s renowned five-star service, alongside top-tier architecture and amenities, this remarkable development sets a new standard for ultra-luxurious oceanside living in Pompano Beach.

The striking 28-story structure boasts 92 impeccably designed residential units, featuring premier designs led by Nichols Architects in collaboration with KORA, interiors by BAMO, and landscaping by Enea Landscape Architecture. Offering a hospitality-inspired array of amenities, including a beachfront café with room service, a resident lounge, pool, jacuzzi, and cabanas with poolside dining and wellness facilities, this new development is set to accelerate South Florida’s expansion and contribute to Pompano Beach’s transformation into a highly coveted locale.

Nick Perez, President of Related’s condominium development group, remarked, “Our aim was to encapsulate the timeless elegance and exclusivity of the Waldorf Astoria brand within a residential framework. We dedicated extensive time to delve into the rich history of the Waldorf Astoria brand, engaging with its brand ambassadors and immersing ourselves in its premier destinations worldwide—all to capture every nuance and subtlety of the brand’s enduring essence.”

South Florida’s ‘Goldilocks Zone’

The introduction of The Residences coincides with a notable rejuvenation for Pompano Beach, affectionately dubbed “Florida’s Warmest Welcome.” Related and Merrimac Ventures have dedicated years to orchestrating the thoughtful revitalization of Pompano, and the broader Broward market, into an undeniable upscale destination.

Renowned for its laid-back lifestyle and pristine beaches, Pompano Beach has witnessed a surge in transformative housing developments spearheaded by Related and Merrimac over the years. Related, recognized for its foresight in pioneering markets well ahead of competitors, made its mark in Pompano Beach by launching Solemar, the area’s inaugural luxury condo tower in several decades, in March 2020 amidst a global pandemic. While many developers halted operations, Related persevered, swiftly selling out all 105 units in less than six months, surpassing $200 million in sales. This success sparked a fervent interest in the Pompano Beach market, characteristic of Related’s impactful initiatives.

“Pompano Beach occupies a ‘Goldilocks’ zone,” remarked Perez. “Situated between Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach, residents here enjoy access to the region’s finest offerings at more favorable prices.”

Dev Motwani, CEO of Merrimac Ventures, reflected on Pompano Beach’s remarkable transformation, attributing it to years of meticulous development and public investment. With a decade-long ownership of the site, Motwani emphasized the uniqueness of the property, waiting patiently for the right vision to materialize. Now, partnering with Related and Hilton, they eagerly anticipate advancing what promises to be a transformative development, not only for Pompano but for northern Broward County as a whole.

With over three decades of experience in Broward County, Merrimac Ventures and the Motwani family have deployed $3 billion in capital to date, boasting an active pipeline valued at over $3.7 billion. Similarly, Related and the Perez family possess a prolific history in Broward, with a portfolio of neighborhood-defining projects spanning several decades and several billion dollars under active development.
