Fort Lauderdale is in the middle of the largest waterfront redevelopment wave in its history, and this transformation is reshaping the future of the entire city. In this video, we break down what’s happening, why it matters, and how it’s impacting real estate, lifestyle, and long-term property values.

This new redevelopment era is being driven by aging waterfront properties reaching the end of their life cycle, record demand for luxury coastal living, and unprecedented public and private investment. From new marinas and upgraded parks to modern infrastructure and iconic hospitality projects, Fort Lauderdale’s skyline and shoreline are being completely reimagined.

We take a closer look at major projects like the redeveloped Fort Lauderdale Public Marina at Las Olas, the iconic Pier 66 Hotel & Marina transformation, and the massive Broward County Convention Center expansion with a new luxury Omni Hotel. These developments aren’t just cosmetic — they’re positioning Fort Lauderdale as a global destination for yachting, tourism, and business.

You’ll also see how revitalized public spaces like Huizenga Park, DC Alexander Park, and the Riverwalk corridor are enhancing walkability, connectivity, and everyday waterfront living. Emerging concepts like Marina Village on the 17th Street corridor are further strengthening Fort Lauderdale’s identity as a modern waterfront city.

All of this investment is directly fueling demand for waterfront real estate. Buyers are drawn to upgraded amenities, vibrant public spaces, and limited inventory — pushing values higher across the market. And the truth is, this cycle is still early.
