THE OPUS AT 701
701 Bayshore Drive, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
The Opus at 701 is a proposed 13-story condominium at 701 Bayshore Drive in Fort Lauderdale, planned with 54 residences and developed by William Lougheed and Richard Mach, with design by Adache Group Architects. Two- and three-bedroom residences are planned to range from about 1,825 to 2,987 square feet, all with Intracoastal views, a consistent orientation that means the water is part of every floor plan rather than a premium reserved for upper floors. The building's scale sits between the boutique and the full-service tower: 13 stories and 54 homes is enough to support real amenities without the anonymity of a much larger building. Planned amenities include a saltwater pool, a fitness center and spa, a rooftop deck with an infinity-edge pool, a clubhouse lounge and 114 podium parking spaces, a set that covers swimming, wellness, social space and the practical matter of parking in a dense beachside district. CNB Contracting, the firm owned by Lougheed, is the general contractor, an arrangement that keeps design and construction under closely related ownership. Fort Lauderdale's City Commission approved the site plan in May 2026, and construction is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2027. Bayshore Drive runs along the Intracoastal just north of the city's beach corridor, close to the restaurants and shops of Sunrise Boulevard and the beach itself, which places the building between the water it faces and the district it serves. Coming soon, The Opus is currently a proposal with approvals in hand rather than a finished building, and buyers following the Fort Lauderdale market will want to watch it as construction begins. With Intracoastal views from every residence and a rooftop infinity pool above 13 floors, the building is planned to deliver a specific kind of waterfront living in a district that is already well served by restaurants and the beach.
