A high-rise mixed-use project has started construction in Fort Lauderdale.
Ombelle is slated to feature two 43-story towers that will feature a combined 754 condos, with floorplans spanning studio to three-bedroom models. Residences will come outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows and various modern finishings. Additionally, residents would have access to more than 100,000 square feet of communal amenities, which include (but aren’t limited to) a swimming pool, business center, and multiple sports courts.

Additional features of Ombelle include more than 11,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, along with a 35,000-square-foot Equinox gym. There will also be 895 parking spots, a nearly four percent reduction from the originally planned 932 spaces.
Dependable Equities is the developer. The New York City-based firm purchased Ombelle’s two-acre build site for $27 million in 2021; the firm intends to spend more than $50 million to fund its two-tower project. The developer is also doubling as the general contractor.
Ombelle has been in the works for nearly five years, with Florida YIMBY sharing insight on the project in 2023. The 754-unit venture is slated for a 2028 completion at 316 NE 4th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301, in Broward County.

Finally!!! One of the more interesting towers to go up in Ft. Lauderdale. If built well it will have a striking presence on the skyline. Been waiting for this Equinox as there are no nice health clubs in downtown. Hope they get their vertical construction loan soon. Another twin 45 story apartment development on the other side of Top Hat Deli by Coast has been starting and stopping for 2 or 3 years now, too. Wonder when it will go vertical?
