What The Ritz-Carlton Residences actually is

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach is a brand-new, Ritz-Carlton-branded, two-tower ultra-luxury development at 1380 South Ocean Boulevard on A1A, in Broward County, delivering in 2026. It's 205 residences across two very different towers: a 32-story oceanfront Beach Tower directly on 250 feet of Pompano Beach sand, with 117 residences, and a 14-story Marina Tower across A1A on the Intracoastal Waterway, with 88 residences and a private resident marina on a deep-water canal. It's developed by Fortune International Group and Oak Capital, designed by Revuelta Architecture International, with interiors by the world-renowned Piero Lissoni, and the Ritz-Carlton brand manages the service.

The amenities span more than 35,000 square feet — a yacht club with the private marina, an oceanfront beach club with infinity pools, a spa and wellness center, sports courts, and restaurants — with Ritz-Carlton service throughout. Residences range widely, from around 900 square feet in the Marina Tower up to 6,800-square-foot oceanfront homes and penthouses, with floor-to-ceiling impact glass and ocean, Intracoastal, and city views depending on tower and line. Importantly, it's 100% residential, not a hotel. Because it's a brand-new, branded building, the due diligence is different from a resale and specific: the developer, the purchase contract, and the warranty, since you're buying the developer's delivery, not a resale with a track record; the projected budget and assessments, and what the Ritz-Carlton service package costs to run, since branded service is a premium, ongoing cost; which tower and the specific unit's floor, line, and exposure, since oceanfront Beach and Intracoastal Marina are very different homes; the coastal factors on the Beach Tower and the slip and dock details on the Marina Tower; and, once closings begin, the association's reserves and structural inspection. That's where I focus before you offer.

Pre-offer checklist for The Ritz-Carlton Residences

• The developer, the contract, and the warranty: This is brand-new construction delivering in 2026, so you're buying the developer's delivery, not a resale with a track record. Before any offer, review the developer's reputation and other projects, the purchase-and-sale contract terms and deposit structure, the closing timeline, and the new-construction warranty, since on a pre-delivery or newly delivered building these protect you far more than a listing photo does.
• The projected assessments and the cost of Ritz-Carlton service: Branded, full-service living is a premium, ongoing cost. Confirm the projected budget and monthly assessments and exactly what the Ritz-Carlton service package and the 35,000-plus square feet of amenities cost to run, since in a branded oceanfront building this belongs in your math from the start and is substantial.
• Which tower, and floor, line, and exposure: This is the biggest product decision here — the oceanfront Beach Tower and the Intracoastal Marina Tower are very different homes. Confirm which tower, and within it the floor, line, and exposure, since a direct-ocean line in the Beach Tower and an Intracoastal slip-side unit in the Marina Tower are different buys at different prices, and the views and light vary sharply by position.
• The marina, slip, and dock details (Marina Tower): The Marina Tower's private resident marina on a deep-water canal is a genuine differentiator. If a boat matters to you, confirm slip availability, size, ownership or assignment, and any cost, since a deep-water slip is a real, separate asset and not every residence includes one.
• Coastal factors and, once delivered, reserves and structural inspection: On the oceanfront Beach Tower, confirm the flood zone, the windstorm and flood insurance picture, and the impact glass and doors. And because Florida's condo-safety law requires milestone structural inspections and reserve studies on buildings three stories and up, once closings begin confirm the association's reserves and inspection status, since on a new building these establish over the first years and affect your assessments.
