Merrimac Ventures, a leading real estate development firm in South Florida, has announced the launch of Bungalow East, an exclusive luxury condominium project in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach. Situated at 530 North Birch Road, the 14-story boutique development will offer 34 impeccably designed residences, a suite of curated amenities, and a prime location steps from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Construction is slated to begin in late 2025, with an estimated completion timeline of 18 months.
A Legacy of Transformation
Merrimac Ventures, a family-owned company, has played a pivotal role in reshaping Fort Lauderdale Beach over the past 35 years. The Motwani family, the firm's founders, transitioned the area from a spring break hotspot into a luxury resort destination. Iconic properties such as the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, Conrad Hotel, and Paramount Fort Lauderdale now stand where the family once operated motels. Beyond Fort Lauderdale, their portfolio includes transformative projects like Miami Worldcenter, the largest mixed-use development south of Hudson Yards.
“Fort Lauderdale Beach's evolution reflects decades of thoughtful development and investment,” said Dev Motwani, Co-Managing Partner of Merrimac Ventures. “Bungalow East represents the culmination of our family’s vision to create a community that balances luxury living with accessibility to the beach.”
Visionary Design and Elevated Living
Designed by Miami-based Swedroe Architecture with interiors by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, Bungalow East combines sophistication with modern coastal charm. Residences feature expansive terraces, floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant glass, private elevators, and breathtaking views of the ocean and Intracoastal. Natural wood finishes, neutral palettes, and top-tier appliances complete the contemporary aesthetic.
Residences will range from three to four bedrooms, measuring 2,100–2,800 square feet, with flexible layouts that include options for additional dens. The penthouse collection offers four- and five-bedroom homes with private rooftop decks spanning approximately 4,000 square feet. Pricing begins at $2 million, with penthouse units available up to $4 million.
