As the city flourishes culturally, so too has the real estate scene, with groundbreaking developments that reflect the area’s unique blend of elegance and edge.

Cold plunges, cryotherapy chambers, infrared saunas, extra-hot steam rooms and the plethora of other hot-and-cold amenities are increasingly in demand in upscale developments and single-family homes around the U.S. In some cases, such relaxation and workout-recovery equipment is as important as the gym itself, experts said.

As the art world eagerly anticipates Art Basel Miami Beach, South Florida prepares to be the epicenter of luxury and culture, attracting a sophisticated audience of art lovers, trendsetters, and global investors. This annual event celebrates art and its influence in Miami’s luxury real estate, where high-end developments merge design and luxury lifestyle. Minette Schwartz, a leading luxury agent with The Schwartz Team at Compass, emphasizes the unique opportunity Art Basel brings: “Developers are pushing the envelope with properties that don’t just serve as residences – they are masterpieces.”

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is celebrating its 65th anniversary and we wanted to showcase the most in-demand amenity hitting luxury condominiums in South Florida: private marinas. This growing trend reflects the region’s unique coastal lifestyle and the increasing desire for seamless access to the water. We’ve rounded up the top luxury South Florida developments redefining the ultimate waterfront lifestyle.

Amid wars overseas, inflation and lofty energy prices, the land of bountiful marine industry opportunity is in America, and at this moment in late October, the focal point is the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show returned to its maximum complement of seven venues last year for the first time since 2019. This year, more products will be on display and the show will have broader use of the city’s redeveloped Las Olas Marina north of the Las Olas Boulevard bridge, according to executives.

In addition, the Pier Sixty-Six redevelopment project on the east bank of the Intracoastal Waterway on the 17th Street Causeway — site of the Pier Sixty-Six North and Superyacht Village venues — is near completion.

As South Florida prepares for the 65th anniversary of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, one trend is standing out among the region’s luxury condominium developments: private marinas. This amenity has quickly become a defining feature of high-end coastal living, providing residents with direct and convenient access to the ocean. Reflecting South Florida’s unique waterfront lifestyle, these marinas cater to yacht owners and boating enthusiasts who desire seamless access to the water from their homes. Here’s a look at the top luxury developments in South Florida that are redefining waterfront living with their exclusive private marinas.

Condo prices start at $3.85 million.

Azul is one of two condo towers at Pier Sixty-Six Residences with design inspired by coral reefs with sweeping curved terraces and exceptional spaces for outdoor dining or sunset soaks in the plunge pool.

In the ultra-competitive luxury real estate market of South Florida, crafting properties with standout amenities is paramount, and no feature screams exclusivity quite like a private space to park your yacht.

The billion-dollar project Pier Sixty-Six Residences in Fort Lauderdale by Tavistock Development Company is located in the yachting capital of the world. Buyers of the two residential towers will have preferred access to a world-class superyacht marina with 164 deep-water slips for yachts up to 400 feet.
