Broward’s Gold Coast, Ranked: The 10 Best New Developments from Fort Lauderdale to Hillsboro Beach in 2026
Broward’s shoreline from Fort Lauderdale Beach to Hillsboro Mile is running the most concentrated luxury construction cycle in its history — five hospitality brands, two delivered resort-scale projects, and the county’s first Rosewood. Unlike the undated “top” lists circulating, this ranking states its criteria and dates every price.
What makes a Broward tower top-10 in 2026?
Five weighted criteria: location and water access (30%), developer track record and funding certainty (25%), value per square foot against the comp set (20%), delivery certainty (15%), and amenity distinctiveness (10%). Scores below reflect sources compiled August 2026 — re-scored monthly.
The ranking
1. Pier Sixty-Six Residences, Fort Lauderdale
From $5.9M (remaining), delivered. The only own-inside-a-superyacht-marina product on the coast: 164 slips to 400 feet. Certainty score is perfect; you can close this month. See the full Pier Sixty-Six Residences profile.
2. Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach
From $5.95M, early 2027. Related Group and Dezer Development, 92 homes on 11.2 ocean-to-Intracoastal acres; the brand-tier and land-format pick. See the full Rosewood Residences profile.
3. The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar
From $3M, late 2026/early 2027 (groundbreaking). The marquee long-cycle bet: brand plus Bahia Mar marina on Fort Lauderdale Beach. See the full St. Regis Bahia Mar profile.
4. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale
From $2.5M, 83 residences, 2027. The strongest brand-per-dollar entry on the beach proper. See the full Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale profile.
5. Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach
From $2.5M, 92 residences, 2027. Related’s brand beachhead in the corridor’s value market.
6. Selene Oceanfront Residences, Fort Lauderdale
From $2.7M, 194 residences, delivered. Finished oceanfront scale at pre-construction-era pricing.
7. Andare by Pininfarina, Fort Lauderdale
From $2M, 163 residences, 2027. Design-house identity at the corridor’s most accessible beach-area entry.
8. Ritz-Carlton Residences Pompano Beach
205 residences, 2027; directory-quoted entry near $1M (manhattanmiami, Aug 2026). Volume branded product — the absorption test case for Pompano’s 2027 wave.
9. Sage Intracoastal Residences, Fort Lauderdale
From $2.9M, 44 residences, est. 2026. Boutique Intracoastal scale for privacy buyers.
10. Salato Residences, Pompano Beach
Boutique oceanside product rounding out the corridor’s value tier; pricing and delivery status quoted by the sales gallery on request.
Where is the best waterfront value per square foot?
The delivered buildings tell the truth: Selene’s finished oceanfront from $2.7M undercuts most 2027 pre-construction on a risk-adjusted basis, while Andare’s $2M start is the lowest beach-district entry (listings, Aug 2026). At the top, Pier Sixty-Six’s roughly $2,116 per square foot average buys infrastructure no competitor can build.
Which deliver within 12 months?
Pier Sixty-Six Residences and Selene (now), Sage Intracoastal (est. 2026), and Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach (early 2027) — four of ten inside a year, a corridor-wide readiness level Miami Beach cannot currently match.
Where is the scarcity play?
Hillsboro Mile. One active project (Rosewood Residences), a three-mile single-road town, no pipeline behind it — scarcity by geography rather than by brand strategy. See our full Hillsboro Beach guide.
