Pier Sixty-Six vs St. Regis Bahia Mar
Pier Sixty-Six Residences and The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar frame different Fort Lauderdale marina-resort purchases. Haute Residence describes Pier Sixty-Six as delivered, while Bahia Mar is marketed as a planned resort-and-residence redevelopment. Compare the residence programs, then verify occupancy timing, resort access, marina allocation and fees in the documents for the particular home.
A marina-resort address describes more than a view. It also describes when ownership can begin, how a working marina shares a campus with hotel and residence life, and which slip, club and resort rights appear in the documents.
The useful comparison between Pier Sixty-Six Residences and The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar is that difference in timing and product type. Both belong to the Fort Lauderdale marina-resort conversation, but one is a delivered residence collection and the other is a planned resort-and-residence redevelopment. The descriptions below were checked against the Haute Residence building pages and official project sites on November 8, 2026. They summarize developer-described or page-published programs, not independently confirmed operating services.
Different points on the ownership timeline
Pier Sixty-Six Residences is a residence collection at the Intracoastal and 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale, developed by Tavistock Development Company with architecture by garciastromberg. The Haute Residence building page, reviewed November 8, 2026, describes the collection as delivered. This is a published status, not confirmation of current inventory or occupancy for a particular home.
Request the certificate of occupancy and closing or occupancy terms for the specific residence. A campus milestone or a dated marketing card is not a substitute for those documents.
The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar is marketed as a planned resort-and-residence redevelopment. Related Group is developing it with Tate Capital and Rok Acquisitions, with architecture by Arquitectonica. Official project pages describe private residences and a furnished Resort Collection within the planned hotel. Obtain the current construction schedule and contractual outside date in writing; no delivery year is adopted here.
A separate Pier Sixty-Six Phase 2 proposal for additional towers is not the delivered residence collection compared here. It should not be treated as built product or as the same homes.

Pier Sixty-Six Residences: a delivered campus with document questions attached
The practical distinction is the residence-specific paperwork: for Pier Sixty-Six, confirm the published delivered status against the home’s occupancy documents; for Bahia Mar, review the proposed program and contractual delivery terms.
The official residences site names Azul, Indigo, Resort Residences 1 and Resort Residences 2. It describes condominium homes in Azul and Indigo and Intracoastal homes in the Resort Residences buildings, including private outdoor space. Confirm the dimensions, finishes and current availability of the particular home rather than adopting a campus-wide specification.
The same official pages describe everyday circulation from a residence to a marina slip, a private members-only club, dining and resort amenities. Marketed privileges include wet-slip priority, boat valet, preferred restaurant access, pools and cabanas, Zenova Spa & Wellness and the Pier Top lounge. Those descriptions do not establish that a particular home carries a slip, that club or hotel use is included in assessments, or that every service is without a separate charge.
Ask whether a residence carries a slip right, whether that right is owned, licensed or leased, and what vessel limits, reservation rules, insurance and fees apply. The Pier Sixty-Six Residences complete buyer guide provides longer project background; this comparison focuses on how the delivered campus differs from Bahia Mar’s planned program.
Bahia Mar: a planned resort-and-residence redevelopment
Bahia Mar asks a different question: whether you want to buy into a planned St. Regis resort-and-residence redevelopment, with the wait and document review that pre-construction involves, in exchange for a marketed beach, marina and hotel-service program.
The official project site, reviewed November 8, 2026, describes a waterfront setting between ocean and bay, anchored by a planned 200-room St. Regis hotel, a 250-slip deepwater marina for vessels up to 350 feet, an exclusive full-service St. Regis Beach Club and butler service. Private Residences are described as set apart from the hotel, with a dedicated porte-cochère, private lobby, 24-hour concierge and keyed elevator entry. The Resort Collection is described as fully furnished residences inside the planned hotel, with resort pools facing the ocean and the Intracoastal, spa and dining programs, and signature St. Regis rooms such as the Spirits Room and Tea Room.
The official amenities and residences pages also describe The Bahia Mar Club as a planned private outdoor club reserved for owners of the Private Residences. The same amenities page describes a complimentary Yacht Club membership extended to residents. Brochure or website language is not proof that membership, hotel access or club use is included, permanent or without fees. Ask which residences carry which rights, and obtain those terms in writing.

Ownership checklist before choosing
- Decide whether you are reviewing delivered homes now or a planned redevelopment whose delivery terms need written confirmation.
- Obtain current price sheets, floor plans and availability from the sales gallery; published card ranges are not live inventory.
- Mark the marina, club, beach, dining and service features you would actually use, rather than every item in a brochure.
- For either marina, request residence-specific slip rights, allocation rules, ownership versus license or lease, vessel limits and fees.
- Separate access included in ownership from memberships, reservations and paid resort or club services.
- At Bahia Mar, confirm in writing which residences carry Beach Club, hotel-service and Bahia Mar Club rights.
- Review the operating budget, rental rules and responsibility for maintaining shared marina and resort facilities.
- Do not treat the proposed Pier Sixty-Six Phase 2 towers as part of the delivered residence collection.
- Read the purchase agreement and condominium documents against the marketing descriptions.
The condominium HOA guide helps frame budget and club-fee questions. Citywide context appears in the Fort Lauderdale luxury new developments guide. This pairwise comparison asks whether Pier Sixty-Six’s delivered marina-resort campus or Bahia Mar’s planned St. Regis resort-and-residence program suits the way you want to own.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Pier Sixty-Six Residences and The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar?
Haute Residence describes Pier Sixty-Six Residences as delivered; Bahia Mar is marketed as a planned St. Regis resort-and-residence redevelopment. This is a comparison of published residence programs, not verified unit availability. Confirm occupancy or delivery terms, resort access and marina rights for the specific home.
Does a residence at either address guarantee a marina slip?
No guaranteed allocation is established by the reviewed marketing pages. Both projects publish marina programs, but slip rights, allocation, ownership versus license or lease, vessel limits, fees and operating rules require written confirmation for a specific home.
How should a buyer verify Pier Sixty-Six occupancy and availability?
The Haute Residence building page reviewed November 8, 2026 describes the collection as delivered. Confirm a particular home’s certificate of occupancy, closing terms, current availability and pricing directly from its transaction documents. This article does not establish live inventory.
How should a buyer check Bahia Mar’s delivery schedule?
Obtain the current construction schedule, contractual completion provisions and any outside date in writing. Bahia Mar is marketed as a planned redevelopment; this comparison does not adopt a delivery year from a dated secondary project page.
Is Pier Sixty-Six Phase 2 part of this comparison?
No. Phase 2 is a separate proposal for additional towers and is not the same product as the existing Pier Sixty-Six Residences collection. It should not be treated as delivered residences or as inventory you can buy in the current four-building collection.
Are resort, hotel and club amenities included with ownership?
A feature appearing in marketing does not establish that use is included. Both official sites describe resort, dining, spa and club programs. Request written hotel, club and amenity terms, including any separate fees, for the residence you are considering.
How do the residence programs differ?
Pier Sixty-Six’s official site names Azul, Indigo, Resort Residences 1 and Resort Residences 2. Bahia Mar’s official site distinguishes Private Residences from a furnished Resort Collection inside the planned hotel. Confirm current plan types and residence-specific rights in the offering documents.
Which documents should a buyer request?
Request the purchase agreement, condominium documents, amenity schedule, operating budget, service charges and rental rules. For boating, add residence-specific slip rights, allocation rules, vessel limits and fees. For resort or club use, add written access terms.
