As you can see from my past blogs, Fort Lauderdale is experiencing a tremendous real estate boom. In fact, it is one of the most rapidly expanding cities in the country. While once just considered a great place for Spring Breakers to party in the sunshine, this beautiful city is now transforming into a leader in luxury. It seems that every day a new luxury real estate project is being announced, to the point where I believe it now easily rivals Miami in upscale living.

In keeping with this trend, I am incredibly excited for the upcoming Auberge Beach Residences & Spa project. Featuring two towers with 171 condominiums situated on 450 feet of beachfront adjoining the Atlantic Ocean, no stone has gone unturned to ensure that every detail of this new development screams luxury. The Auberge Beach condominiums will showcase features such as spacious oceanfront terraces, gourmet kitchens, private elevators, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Especially noteworthy is the fact that several of the condominiums will also feature private pools on the wide balconies. Now THAT’S true luxury!

A luxurious community isn’t complete without fabulous amenities. Amenities at Auberge Beach Residences & Spa will include multiple oceanfront swimming pools, state-of-the-art fitness center, and numerous restaurants. And of course, a world-class spa! The 10,000 sq.ft. spa has been designed by interior design firm Meyer Davis, and features floor-to-ceiling windows, mood lighting, oak flooring, terrazzo countertops, and blue marble finishes. Oceanfront cabanas allow guests to relax after a day of pampering. While not much information has been revealed about the restaurants, it is known that one upscale restaurant will feature a farm-to-table concept paired with sophisticated wines. The décor of the restaurant features a glass-encased wine wall, floor-to ceiling windows that overlook the ocean, reclaimed wood floors, hanging light fixtures, and Calacatta Gold Marble.

Ready to see the luxury for yourself? Then check out these great renderings of the condominiums, spa, and restaurants you can look forward to upon the completion of Auberge Beach Residences & Spa in 2018!
