Construction is expected to begin in late 2025, with completion anticipated 18 months later.

Residences will be priced between $2 million and $4 million, offering floor-to-ceiling windows, private elevators, expansive terraces with summer kitchens, and chef-inspired kitchens.

Curated Amenities for the Ultimate Coastal Lifestyle

The development promises a lifestyle of relaxed luxury, featuring a resort-style pool deck with cabanas and jacuzzi area, a wellness center with a sauna, steam rooms, massage and treatment rooms, and a beauty salon. Other amenities include a yoga lawn, private rooftop sunset lounge, and a gaming and entertainment lounge. A retail/restaurant space on the lobby level will complement the vibrant beachside neighborhood, with plans for a café, bistro, or wine bar. Residents will also enjoy a Yacht Club membership, access to 200+ private restaurant venues worldwide, and privileges at the Conrad Hotel Fort Lauderdale, including beach services.

Fort Lauderdale’s Prime Beachside Location

Bungalow East is located in the heart of North Beach Village, one of Fort Lauderdale Beach's most desirable areas, offering proximity to world-class dining, retail, cultural venues, and five-star hotels. Notable nearby spots include Truluck’s, The Secret Garden Dining Club, La Fuga, and the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens.

A Vision for the Future of Fort Lauderdale Beach

Bungalow East represents the culmination of this vision, completing the family’s long-term plans for the North Beach Village area.

With design by Swedroe Architecture and interiors by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, Bungalow East will offer natural wood accents and a neutral palette that echoes the building’s coastal setting. Residences will feature expansive floor plans and stunning ocean views.
