Vertical construction has begun to ascend at 1350 South Ocean Boulevard, where Related Group, widely regarded as Miami’s condo king, and Merrimac Ventures, led by the Motwani family, are developing the Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach, a 28-story tower that will contain 92 private residences and a suite of resort-style amenities directly along the shoreline.
The developers broke ground in April, and progress has steadily accelerated since. Recent aerial photography shows the podium taking shape and the superstructure beginning to rise, with Coastal Construction serving as general contractor. Crews are tying rebar, assembling formwork, and placing concrete as the structural frame advances upward. A pair of tower cranes and concrete pump systems anchor the site’s operations, supporting the steady vertical climb. Formwork and slab placement are underway on the third floor, while post-tensioning and concrete pours remain active across sections of the second elevated deck.

Designed by Nichols Architects in collaboration with KORA, the 308-foot-tall tower has been envisioned to embody Waldorf Astoria’s rich history and timeless tradition while translating the brand’s hallmark of luxury into a contemporary coastal setting. Its sleek glass façade will frame panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway, while a recurring motif of sweeping curves and deep terraces creates a sculptural profile rising over the shoreline. The layered balcony edges evoke the fluidity of waves, with horizontal slab projections that extend living spaces outward while providing natural shading.

At the podium, landscaped terraces and lush plantings integrate the architecture with its beachfront setting, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. Interiors by BAMO are designed to radiate the comfort of home with refined finishes and layouts tailored for both seasonal and year-round living, while carrying forward the opulence and refinement associated with the Waldorf Astoria brand.

The building will contain 92 condominium units ranging from two to five bedrooms and spanning 2,100 to 6,100 square feet. Four penthouse residences serve as the crown jewels of the offerings, with the top two featuring 3,200- to 3,500-square-foot rooftop terraces, private pools, air-conditioned lounges, and panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway.

The development will deliver an extensive amenity collection, including a beachfront pool deck, spa and wellness center, residents’ lounge, private dining spaces, and direct access to the sand. Residents will also enjoy Waldorf Astoria’s signature hospitality and concierge services, marking a notable expansion of the brand’s residential footprint in South Florida.

Is there actually a beach there? Doesn’t appear so when looking at the map (which I love that you include)?
It’s the wrong map, showing a property in Edgewater, Miami that coincidental is another boring Related Group box with some random “pizzazz” thrown on the facades. What’s the difference?!
The map has been updated and should show the correct address now.
I love how the renders make it look like it’s out all on its own as if it’s being built in the middle of a remote stretch along Hutchinson Island. Also, that map is dozens of miles off from the project location.
Pompano Beach is an hour further north
Just what we need more housing for the 1% while forcing out the mom and pops! Way to go Pompano corruption and kickbacks are alive and well in south Florida
They didn’t get forced out. They sold out and cashed in.
