The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach Launches Sales at 551 Bayshore Drive

Sales are underway at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Fort Lauderdale Beach, a dual-tower development planned for 551 Bayshore Drive along Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal corridor. Developer partners MICL and Admire Capital announced the project in February 2026, marking Fort Lauderdale’s second Ritz-Carlton-branded address — though unlike the existing condo-hotel at 1 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, this one is entirely residential.

Garcia Stromberg, the West Palm Beach firm behind several South Florida luxury towers, designed both 13-story buildings. Interiors are by Dan Fink Studio. Together, the towers will deliver 83 residences ranging from 1,550 to 3,480 square feet, including six penthouses with ceiling heights reaching 11 feet. Floor plans include two- and three-bedroom homes with dens.

Walk-in closets are standard in primary suites, as are full-size vented washers and dryers. Select residences include private elevator lobbies, and certain penthouse layouts add private rooftop terraces with plunge pools.

Inside, residents have access to a lounge with a catering kitchen, a screening room, a multi-sport simulator, a conference room, and a children’s playroom.
