YIMBY spotted a new series of exterior and interior renderings depicting Selene Oceanfront Residences, Kobi Karp‘s upcoming two-tower luxury residential development at 151 North Seabreeze Boulevard in Central Beach, Fort Lauderdale. The slender curved glass-clad structures are slated to rise 26-stories each, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway, nestled in between Alhambra Street and Sebastian Street on the north and south and North Birch Road to the west. Palm Beach County-based Kolter Urban is developing the 196-unit project, which is expected to break ground this November and projecting to yield sprawling two and three-bedroom for-sale residences, an opulent outdoor amenity deck and a 5300-square-foot oceanfront restaurant venue. At 300-feet above sea level, the pair of towers will become the tallest structures along Fort Lauderdale Beach.
Aerial renderings show the drastic impact the towers have on the skyline, towering over the neighboring structures and accessing views of Downtown Fort Lauderdale’s skyline. Kobi Karp designed the towers in an iconic, contemporary architectural fashion that features sweeping, graceful vertical and horizontal lines met by elevations of white-tinted glass, generating the feeling of complete transparency and light. The two-tower design rises out of a multistory podium, clad in a variety of textures, patterns and materials. Both superstructures curve on the corners, and paired with the glass exterior, they create a sculptural effect that reflects the surrounding views of the sky, ocean, and landscape.

“Kobi Karp purposefully designed every aspect of Selene to reflect the natural beauty of the Atlantic Ocean and the tropical-modern style that Fort Lauderdale is known for. Thus, they created the two-tower design to maximize views throughout the property and amenity spaces for residents — offering sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean to the East and of Downtown’s skyline and Historic River District to the West.”
