Yacht Parking Attracts Buyers from Palm Beach to Miami
In the ultra-competitive luxury real estate market of South Florida, crafting properties with standout amenities is paramount, and no feature screams exclusivity quite like a private space to park your yacht. For wealthy buyers looking to live out the ultimate boating lifestyle, high-end residential buildings with on-site marina’s are the latest must-have amenity–a trend triggered in part by the pandemic’s booming boat sales and migration of wealthy residents to the area. From Miami to Fort Lauderdale down to the waterways of Palm Beach, these marina-equipped luxury condo properties have truly mastered the art of water-feature luxury living.
One of the most coveted addresses and exciting projects in Miami is 9900 West, a seven-story boutique condominium of only 23 exquisite luxury waterfront residences by the award-winning Frankel Benayoun Architects and developed by The Horizon Group. The property embraces the water by way of a private marina with 10 boat slips available for owners, accommodating up to 30-foot vessels and offering waterway access to Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The marina allows for dockside pickup and drop-off in the area, showcasing a dockside lounge, and paddleboard/kayak storage. The project’s limited collection of units designed by Craft Studio range between expansive two- to four-bedroom luxury waterside residences and four penthouses with exclusive rooftop terraces. Rising along the Indian Creek waterway, owners have access to luxe amenities including a lushly landscaped rooftop with pool, concierge services, private entertainment suite with a dining room, state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, custom wellness packages, children’s playroom and beach club membership. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is leading sales and marketing for the building.
Pier-Sixty Six Residences, Fort Lauderdale
The billion-dollar project in Fort Lauderdale by Tavistock Development Company is located in the yachting capital of the world. Buyers of the four residential towers will have preferred access to a world-class superyacht marina with 164 deep-water slips for yachts up to 400 feet. The first tower, Azul, is a collection of 31 residences while the second tower, Indigo, is an 11-story building with 30 light-filled corner units. Both condominiums offer a private heated plunge pool on every terrace with designer level features and views over the Intracoastal Waterway, the marina, and the city skyline. Residents enjoy perks such as The Club Room, a private restaurant and lounge, a VIP pool and bar with private cabanas and chaise lounge service, as well as a private fitness studio. ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is leading sales and marketing for the building.
ALBA Palm Beach is the only new luxury development east of North Flagler Drive that sits directly on the Intracoastal with unobstructed views.
