Waterfront Pier Sixty-Six to Open in FLL This Winter

Pier Sixty-Six, a historic gem in Fort Lauderdale, is undergoing a $1 billion transformation that blends its rich legacy with modern luxury. Originally developed in the 1950s, the resort has been a symbol of Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant history. This winter, the reimagined Pier Sixty-Six will debut as a 32-acre waterfront destination, offering a luxurious resort, exclusive residences, and a lively marina promenade.

Preserving Architectural Heritage

The redevelopment, led by billionaire Joe Lewis' Tavistock Group, highlights a commitment to maintaining the resort’s iconic charm. The mid-century modern tower, added in 1965 and adorned with its signature spires, has been designated a historic landmark. This architectural centerpiece, once the tallest building in Fort Lauderdale, will maintain its grandeur. The renowned Pier Top lounge, famous for its 360-degree views and rotating design, will reopen as a glamorous social destination, offering vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Luxury Living on the Waterfront

Pier Sixty-Six Residences redefine ocean-centric living with 87 exclusive homes across three distinct boutique buildings: Azul, Indigo, and Resort Residences. Designed with marine and coastal aesthetics, each residence features expansive wraparound balconies, elegant finishes, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, catering to those seeking refined waterfront lifestyles.

A Destination for Indulgence

The resort's offerings combine indulgence with innovation. Guests can relax in a three-level pool oasis or rejuvenate at the Zenova Spa, which features unique amenities like a snow room, ceremonial sauna, and vitality pool. Food enthusiasts will enjoy 12 dining and lounge venues, including a reinvented Pier Top, offering globally inspired menus crafted with seasonal ingredients.

A Marina Like None Other

Pier Sixty-Six’s marina continues to be a global yachting destination, boasting 5,000 linear feet of dockage and 164 slips for vessels up to 400 feet. The addition of a vibrant marina promenade with curated shops, offices, and dining options enhances the waterfront experience, creating a bustling hub for locals and visitors alike.

A Cornerstone of Culture and Community

Beyond luxury, the redevelopment honors the resort as a cultural and economic pillar of Fort Lauderdale. From hosting the renowned Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show to fostering community ties, Pier Sixty-Six remains integral to the city’s identity as the “Yachting Capital of the World.” Its revitalization continues to attract visitors, stimulate the local economy, and celebrate Broward County’s growth.

Redefining South Florida Living

The unveiling of the new Pier Sixty-Six is more than just a reopening—it’s a celebration of Fort Lauderdale’s past and future. By combining mid-century modern elegance with state-of-the-art amenities, the resort secures its place as a landmark that redefines luxury, leisure, and community for generations to come.
