Fort Lauderdale has been called the Venice of America for decades — a city of 165 miles of navigable waterways where the boat is not a weekend toy but a primary mode of transport and a statement of how its residents live. No address in that city carries more weight in that identity than Pier Sixty-Six. The original Pier 66 resort opened in the 1960s and spent five decades as the defining landmark of Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront — the rotating Pier Top lounge visible from across the Intracoastal, the marina that became the social epicenter of the Fort Lauderdale boat show, the address that serious mariners in the eastern United States simply knew.
Disclosure: ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is the sales team for Pier Sixty-Six Residences. I am a Broker-Associate with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
Tavistock Group has spent the better part of a decade reimagining what that address becomes next. The result — a multi-billion-dollar transformation of the 32-acre property into a luxury resort, superyacht marina, and a collection of 62 private residences — is now complete and open for occupancy. ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is the sales and marketing team for Pier Sixty-Six Residences, and I am part of that team.
I want to write this guide the way I write every guide in this series: accurately, specifically, and without the softening that developer marketing materials require. The building is real, delivered, and occupied. The penthouse is available and priced at $16 million. Current availability on remaining residences is a conversation best had directly — contact me and I’ll tell you exactly what’s there. What this guide gives you is every other thing you need to know before that conversation.
What Is Pier Sixty-Six Residences?
Pier Sixty-Six Residences is a collection of 62 private waterfront condominiums nestled within the reimagined Pier Sixty-Six resort at 2301 SE 17th Street Causeway in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — on the 17th Street Causeway between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, adjacent to one of the largest superyacht marinas on the eastern seaboard.
The residential offering is divided into two architecturally distinct products sharing the same 32-acre resort campus:
The Condominium Residences (Indigo building) — 31 residences across an 11-story tower, four corner residences per floor, two- to four-bedroom configurations, with panoramic views across the marina, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. This is the building where the $16 million Indigo Penthouse sits on the 10th floor.
The Resort Residences — 31 individually designed residences across two intimate four-story waterfront buildings, two- to four-bedroom configurations ranging from 1,645 to over 3,800 square feet, with distinctive architectural features including double-height living rooms and private garden retreats. A deliberately different product from the Indigo tower — lower, quieter, more horizontally scaled — for buyers who want the resort campus and marina access without the verticality of a high-rise tower.
Developed by Tavistock Group — the international private investment firm behind Albany in the Bahamas, St. Regis Atlanta, and Lake Nona in Orlando — Pier Sixty-Six Residences carries a developer pedigree that extends well beyond real estate development into the kind of master-planned destination thinking that produces environments rather than simply buildings.
The History: Why This Address Matters
The Pier Sixty-Six story begins in the early 1960s, when the original resort and its then-novel rotating cocktail lounge — the Pier Top — became the social focal point of Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront. In a city that was building its identity around boating, the Intracoastal, and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Pier 66 was the place where that culture concentrated. For five decades, its rotating Pier Top lounge was Fort Lauderdale’s most recognizable landmark — a visual anchor visible from the Intracoastal in either direction and the default gathering point for serious mariners from across the eastern seaboard who made Fort Lauderdale a port of call.
The marina itself became part of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show’s infrastructure — the annual event that attracts more than 100,000 visitors and billions of dollars in vessel transactions and is the world’s largest in-water boat show. Being adjacent to, and in some configurations part of, that event for five decades gave Pier 66 a cultural significance in the yachting world that no new development can manufacture.
What Tavistock’s redevelopment preserves is the layered quality of that legacy rather than simply the name. The Pier Top lounge is being reinstated as a rotating landmark — the same 180-degree circuit, reimagined as a sophisticated lounge with VIP tables for owners. The marina is expanded, not replaced. The resort is rebuilt from the site up rather than patched. The residences are designed to face and engage the marina rather than merely sit adjacent to it. The result is a development where the history is the asset, not the marketing.
The Indigo Penthouse: The $16 Million Crown of Fort Lauderdale’s Waterfront
The Indigo Penthouse at Pier Sixty-Six Residences is the last penthouse floor plan available within the development — and it is the most significant single residential opportunity currently on the market in Fort Lauderdale.
Perched on the 10th floor of the Indigo condominium building, the penthouse spans 7,794 total square feet — 5,644 square feet of interior living space plus a 2,150-square-foot wraparound terrace crowned by two private plunge pools. Five bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling glass framing 180-degree sunrise-to-sunset views across the Pier Sixty-Six Marina, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean simultaneously.
The interior specification reflects the full Pier Sixty-Six finish standard at its penthouse expression: 10-foot ceilings throughout, custom Italian cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine storage, Wolf gas cooktop and oven, Asko dishwasher, Grohe polished chrome fixtures, Kohler smart toilets, and custom rain showers with integrated LED lighting. A private elevator delivers residents directly to their floor. A dedicated fitness studio and private sauna are included within the residence itself — not shared amenity spaces.
The Indigo Penthouse is ready for immediate occupancy. It requires no construction timeline, no pre-construction deposit structure, no waiting. The building is delivered, staffed, and operating. The Pier Top is reopening. The marina is active. The resort is open. Buyers who have spent the better part of this guide series reading about buildings targeting 2028 or 2029 delivery will understand the specific value of an address that exists today, at this price point, in a delivered building with an established service infrastructure.
For buyers who have evaluated my guides to the branded penthouse tier across Miami-Dade — One Thousand Museum’s $15 million to $23.8 million penthouses, FENDI Château Residences’ $29.9 million crown positions, Mandarin Oriental’s $49.9 million record contracts — the Indigo Penthouse at $16 million offers a directly comparable trophy residential experience in a different city, at a price that sits below most of Miami-Dade’s comparable branded penthouse tier, delivered and ready for occupancy now rather than in 2028.
I am the right conversation for anyone evaluating the Indigo Penthouse. Call me directly.
The Two Products: Indigo Condominiums vs. Resort Residences
The Indigo Condominium Residences occupy the 11-story tower — the building’s vertical address and the one with the most dramatic Intracoastal and ocean views. Four corner residences per floor means every unit in the building is a corner unit — no interior-facing configurations, no compromised views. The Indigo tower is architecturally designed by Garcia Stromberg, with sculptural forms and expansive cantilevered balconies drawing inspiration from boat decks and piers. Every residence features a signature private terrace with a plunge pool.
The Resort Residences offer a fundamentally different architectural experience within the same campus — two intimate four-story waterfront buildings with individually designed floor plans and distinctive features, including double-height living rooms and private garden retreats. The Resort Residences are, in character, more like private villas within a resort campus than conventional tower condominiums. For buyers whose preference is horizontal scale over vertical height, the Resort Residences deliver that within the same Pier Sixty-Six resort and marina ecosystem.
The practical implication of this two-product structure: buyers should evaluate each product on its own terms rather than treating Pier Sixty-Six Residences as a monolithic offering. The Indigo tower buyer and the Resort Residences buyer have different lifestyle priorities, and the right product for a specific buyer depends on which of those priorities is primary.
| Indigo Condominium Residences | Resort Residences | |
|---|---|---|
| Building | 11-story tower | Two four-story waterfront buildings |
| Residences | 31 | 31 |
| Bedrooms | 2 to 4 | 2 to 4 |
| Size | Floor plans available on request | About 1,645 to 3,800+ sq ft |

The Resort and Marina: What Residents Actually Get
The amenity and service infrastructure at Pier Sixty-Six Residences is organized around the resort and marina campus rather than a conventional condominium amenity deck — and that distinction matters. Residents are not sharing a pool deck with 62 fellow owners. They are residents of a 32-acre resort campus with hotel-grade service infrastructure, priority access across every venue, and a marina that is one of the largest on the eastern seaboard.
Marina and water:
- Superyacht marina featuring 5,000 linear feet of dockage with 164 slips, welcoming vessels up to 400 feet in length — one of the largest superyacht marinas on the East Coast
- Marina promenade with curated retail and culinary destinations
- Immediate marina and promenade access for residents
- Slips for boating drop-offs
- Marine-focused kids club
Pool and recreation:
- Multi-level marina-front pool deck with tropical landscaping and art installations
- VIP pool with private cabanas and chaise lounge service — residents’ exclusive
- Adult pool with outdoor dining pavilion overlooking the marina
- Resort pool with three-story slide, fountain features, dedicated café, bar, and kids club
Dining and social — priority reservations and charging privileges for owners:
- Waterfront restaurant — the flagship dining destination
- Marina restaurant — indoor and outdoor dining on the promenade
- Lobby bar and terrace lounge
- Poolside café, cabana lounge, and outdoor dining pavilion
- Pier Top lounge — Fort Lauderdale’s most recognizable rotating landmark, now re-emerging as an owner-priority sophisticated lounge with unbeatable sunset views and VIP tables
Wellness:
- Lavish spa with priority access for owners
- State-of-the-art fitness center
- Yoga and Pilates studio
Exclusive owner amenities (The Club):
- The Club Room — private entertaining and socializing space
- Private poolside café and lounge
- Marina-front VIP pool with private cabanas
- Wellness lounge with private fitness room and water grotto
- Rotating selection of social and marina VIP events
- Concierge overseeing VIP restaurant reservations, marina arrangements, in-residence catering, entertaining, and housekeeping
The Pier Top lounge is worth specific mention for buyers unfamiliar with Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront culture. The rotating Pier Top was Fort Lauderdale’s most photographed and most recognizable architectural landmark for decades — a cocktail lounge that made a 180-degree rotation at the top of the original Pier 66 tower, offering sunset views over the Intracoastal that no other venue in the city could match. Its return as an owner-priority gathering space is not merely a nostalgic gesture. It is an amenity with genuine cultural weight in this specific city.
Location: The 17th Street Causeway Gateway
At 2301 SE 17th Street Causeway, Pier Sixty-Six Residences occupies the gateway position between downtown Fort Lauderdale and the Atlantic Ocean — on the causeway that connects the city’s urban core to the beach, with the Intracoastal Waterway running directly adjacent to the property’s marina.
From 2301 SE 17th Street Causeway, residents are:
- Five minutes to Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale’s downtown dining and gallery corridor
- Ten minutes to Fort Lauderdale Beach
- Fifteen minutes to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
- Thirty to thirty-five minutes to Miami International Airport via I-95
- Adjacent to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show’s primary venue, the closest residential address to the world’s largest in-water boat show
That last point is worth dwelling on for buyers whose lifestyle includes the Boat Show. Being a resident of Pier Sixty-Six during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is not the same experience as attending from a hotel or a marina slip. The show is, in the most literal sense, happening at your address. The vessels moored in the Pier Sixty-Six Marina are among the show’s most significant exhibits. The access that comes with living there during that week is a lifestyle advantage with no commercial equivalent.
Pier Sixty-Six vs. the Competition
Pier Sixty-Six vs. St. Regis Resort and Residences at Bahia Mar: The most natural Fort Lauderdale comparison — both are luxury waterfront branded developments in Fort Lauderdale with significant marina infrastructure. St. Regis Bahia Mar is planning a 250-slip superyacht marina; Pier Sixty-Six has a 164-slip marina accommodating vessels up to 400 feet, already operational. Pier Sixty-Six is delivered and occupied; Bahia Mar is pre-construction. For buyers who want Fort Lauderdale’s finest marina address today rather than in several years, Pier Sixty-Six is the only conversation. For buyers specifically drawn to the St. Regis hospitality brand over Tavistock’s resort operation, Bahia Mar is the forward-looking option.
Pier Sixty-Six vs. Andare Residences Las Olas: A different lifestyle thesis entirely — Las Olas urban living versus Intracoastal marina living. Andare buyers are choosing walkable downtown dining and culture; Pier Sixty-Six buyers are choosing direct marina access and resort infrastructure. The two rarely compete for the same buyer.
Pier Sixty-Six vs. Miami-Dade’s branded tower corridor: Pier Sixty-Six prices from $3.6 million — comparable to Miami-Dade’s branded mid-tier, well below St. Regis Sunny Isles Beach’s $5 million-plus entry, and meaningfully different in lifestyle given the marina infrastructure that no Miami-Dade building replicates. It remains below Baccarat Residences Brickell’s entry but comparable to its branded mid-tier, and well below the $5 million-plus entry at St. Regis Sunny Isles Beach.
For buyers who have evaluated Miami-Dade’s branded corridor and want a comparable lifestyle with direct superyacht marina access at a price point that competes favorably with the lower-middle of that market, Pier Sixty-Six is a genuinely different offer — in a different city, with a different lifestyle infrastructure that Miami-Dade simply cannot replicate.
Who Is Buying at Pier Sixty-Six?
The Pier Sixty-Six buyer profile is the most specifically maritime of any building in this guide series. These are buyers for whom the marina is not a view — it is the primary daily-life infrastructure. The ability to dock their vessel steps from their lobby, access marina services, and participate in the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show from their own address is not a secondary amenity. It is the reason this address was chosen over everything else.
The secondary buyer profile is the Fort Lauderdale professional or business owner who wants resort-grade service infrastructure within the city — the Club Room, the Pier Top, the priority dining reservations — without leaving for a resort hotel whenever they want that experience. For this buyer, Pier Sixty-Six is the hotel they live in rather than check into.
International buyers with yachting backgrounds — particularly from Europe, Latin America, and Canada — represent a meaningful segment drawn specifically by Fort Lauderdale’s status as the global yachting capital and by Pier Sixty-Six’s positioning at the center of that identity.
