Related Group (Related) and Merrimac Ventures, alongside hospitality leader Hilton (NYSE: HLT), last week announced the closing on $160 million in construction financing from Bank OZK for Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach (The Residences). Marking Waldorf Astoria’s first-ever standalone residential development, the property is already elevating the standard for luxury living in Broward County, with only select residences remaining.
“The Residences combine the legendary service and sophistication of the Waldorf Astoria resort properties with the comfort and security of private ownership. It’s a no-compromise lifestyle that immerses residents and caters to their every wish,” said Nick Pérez, President of Related’s Condominium Division. “We’re proud to work alongside our development and financial partners to help propel Pompano Beach as the region’s next premier luxury destination. It is properties such as this one that will help the city reach its full potential.”
Set on two acres of coveted oceanfront, The Residences will offer 92 exclusive condominium homes and an exceptional suite of resort-style amenities and personalized services managed directly by Waldorf Astoria. With world-class design led by Nichols Architects in collaboration with KORA, BAMO, and Enea Landscape, the development positions Pompano Beach as a rising star among luxury destinations.
“This financing marks a pivotal milestone for The Residences and the vision we’ve long held for this iconic oceanfront site,” said Dev Motwani, CEO of Merrimac Ventures. “This property location, design and unmatched lifestyle offerings have resonated with buyers, quickly propelling us past 70 percent sold in a remarkably short timeframe.”
The 28-story tower comprises homes ranging from two to five bedrooms, spanning 2,100 to 6,100 square feet. Each residence boasts private elevator access, floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized balconies with panoramic Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway views. The 20,000-square-foot oceanfront pool deck perfectly captures the essence of the property’s seaside experience, enhanced by a private spa, an outdoor bar and dining lounge, and summer kitchens. Residents can also enjoy exclusive access to 200 linear feet of pristine beachfront as well as a private marina with nearly two dozen boat slips.
Beyond its stunning outdoor spaces, The Residences boasts more than 15,000 square feet of curated indoor amenities and an extensive list of resident services. Wellness-driven offerings include a state-of-the-art fitness center and a dedicated movement studio, as well as an on-site spa with private treatment rooms and his-and-hers sauna and steam rooms. Residents can also enjoy a variety of entertainment and leisure amenities, such as a ground-floor dining concept, a billiards lounge, a children’s entertainment center and a multi-sport simulator. Additionally, the property will showcase an array of museum-quality artwork from the renowned Jorge M. Pérez Contemporary Art Collection.
True to the Waldorf Astoria tradition of exceptional hospitality, the property’s signature 24/7 resident services include in-residence dining, a personalized concierge, and dedicated beach and poolside service.
“Bank OZK is excited to expand upon our strong relationships with both Related Group and Merrimac Ventures, along with the sponsorship of an industry leader like Hilton, for this extraordinary development,” said Greg Newman, Senior Managing Director of Originations at Bank OZK. “We look forward to seeing how this landmark project enhances Pompano Beach’s coastal legacy and growing prestige.”
For those seeking the pinnacle of coastal luxury, The Residences offers four exquisitely crafted penthouse residences ranging from $16 million to $20 million. Each of these sprawling homes features 70 linear feet of uninterrupted ocean views and wraparound terraces that showcase panoramic vistas of the ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and the dynamic Pompano Beach skyline. The two upper penthouses feature sweeping 3,200- to 3,500-square-foot rooftop terraces, complete with air-conditioned entertainment spaces, summer kitchens and private pools.
