The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar: The Complete Buyer’s Guide
The St. Regis Resort & Residences Bahia Mar is Fort Lauderdale’s biggest branded bet: 239 residences from $3M on the 39-acre Bahia Mar Beach site, with a 250-slip marina that takes yachts up to 350 feet, by Related Group with Tate Capital and Rok Acquisitions, targeting 2030. This guide covers pricing, timeline, terms and how it stacks against the city’s alternatives — every figure verified against developer data as of September 2026.
What is being built at Bahia Mar?
A full St. Regis resort-and-residences campus on 39 acres of Fort Lauderdale Beach spanning ocean, Intracoastal, marina and Atlantic beachfront exposures — 239 residences of two to four bedrooms plus penthouses.Arquitectonica is the architect, Tara Bernerd & Partners designs interiors, EDSA the landscape. The site’s defining asset is the working marina: 250 slips accommodating mega-yachts to 350 feet, the kind of infrastructure no Miami-Dade competitor can replicate.
What do St. Regis Bahia Mar residences cost?
Published range: $3M–$8M, roughly $1,600 per square foot, for plans of 2,600–3,550 SF (three-bed-plus-den and four-bed-plus-den), pricing last updated by the developer July 2026. Against the branded coast, that entry $/SF is 30–55% below Brickell and Bal Harbour equivalents in our Development Index — the core of the Fort Lauderdale value case made in our FTL Complete Guide.

When does it deliver — and how firm is 2030?
The developer targets 2030; the project is pre-construction as of September 2026, which is the least certain stage of any delivery estimate. Our readiness analysis treats topping-out as the strongest single predictor a date will hold — Bahia Mar is years from that milestone, so negotiate the outside date in the contract rather than relying on the marketing year.
What are the deposit terms?
Bahia Mar’s schedule isn’t published; the South Florida convention is 20–50% staged before closing — commonly 20% at contract, 10% at groundbreaking, 10% roughly a year later, balance at closing. Florida Statute 718.202 escrows your first 10% until closing; above that, funds can be drawn for construction if the contract permits. The full protection checklist — escrow agent verification, the bold-type 718.202 legend, the 15-day rescission window — is in our deposits guide.
How does it compare to Rivage and Pier Sixty-Six?
Pier Sixty-Six (delivered, from $5.9M) is for buyers who want the Intracoastal life now; Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale (from $2.5M, 2029) is the value entry; Bahia Mar is the scale-and-beachfront play at 2030. Against Rivage Bal Harbour ($13.5M–$75M, ~$3,500/SF, 56 residences, 2027), Bahia Mar offers a branded beachfront address at less than half the per-foot price — the trade is exclusivity and Bal Harbour’s address for marina scale and time.
What does the St. Regis brand add?
Owners get Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status through 2029, the St. Regis Beach Club, two resort pools (bay-facing and ocean-facing), a luxury spa, signature fine dining, and the Cognac & Tea Room — hotel-grade service infrastructure across the 39 acres.
