Moore Group Proposes 20-Story Condo Development in Ft. Lauderdale

A New York-based developer has proposed a 20-story luxury condominium called Amalfi, located just two blocks from the beach in Fort Lauderdale. The city's Development Review Committee is set to review the plans for this project on May 28.

Project Details

The Amalfi condo will be built on a 0.84-acre site at 2317-2237 N. Ocean Blvd, replacing several small apartment complexes. The site comprises five lots currently owned by LLCs managed by Gareth and John Moore of Moore Group Corp, who acquired the properties for a total of $5.54 million in 2021 and 2022.

Features and Amenities

The planned 20-story building will span 248,575 square feet, featuring 38 condo units ranging from 2,632 to 3,762 square feet, each with balconies. The top two units will have private rooftop terraces and pools. An automated parking system in the basement will accommodate 115 vehicles.

Luxury Living

Residents will enjoy a second-floor amenity deck that includes a pool, gym, lounge with a catering kitchen, golf simulator, sauna, yoga room, and dog wash. Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture is responsible for the design.

Architectural Highlights

The developer describes the Amalfi as meticulously designed to blend with its urban environment. The building's one-story podium houses the subterranean parking, and the structure features a rooftop pool deck adorned with greenery. The tower's slender initial profile expands northward to offer panoramic views, while the top includes a cantilevered section inspired by ocean waves.

Seeking Approvals

The developer seeks a conditional use permit to increase the building height to 236.5 feet and a waiver to reduce the street setback.

Growing Luxury Market

Fort Lauderdale has seen an increase in luxury condo developments as wealthier individuals move to the city. Limited land availability near the waterfront has driven this trend, making high-rise condominiums a more viable option for new residential construction.
