Fort Lauderdale is undergoing a stunning transformation, and at the center of it all is a once-in-a-generation waterfront development: the St. Regis Residences at Bahia Mar. Backed by a $2 billion investment, this 40-acre tropical retreat will soon become one of the most iconic luxury real estate projects in South Florida.
A partnership between the Related Group and developer Jimmy Tate, the St. Regis Bahia Mar will include four luxury condo towers, a 373-room five-star resort, high-end retail, dining, and a world-class megayacht marina — all on one of the most coveted stretches of Fort Lauderdale Beach.

📍 Why Bahia Mar Is a Big Deal for Buyers
Bahia Mar’s St. Regis Residences aren’t just a new development — they’re a statement of what’s possible in Fort Lauderdale luxury living. With prices already attracting buyers from South Beach, California, Chicago, Sarasota, and Naples, demand is strong.
“We’re seeing a lot of Chicago buyers coming to South Florida. We’re selling very briskly.”
– Daniel Teixeira, VP of Sales, St. Regis Residences
What makes this project stand out?

💡 Fort Lauderdale’s Luxury Market Is Booming
Mayor Dean Trantalis called the Bahia Mar transformation “a game-changer” for Fort Lauderdale’s brand and tourism appeal. Unlike Miami or Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale is carving out its own identity — with marina lifestyle, wellness, authenticity, and understated elegance.
Nearby projects like the Las Olas Marina and Las Olas Ocean are adding even more value to the neighborhood, further elevating Fort Lauderdale’s position as a top destination for luxury real estate and waterfront investments.
