Pompano Beach’s Multi-Billion Dollar Makeover: What’s Next

Pompano Beach’s Multi-Billion Dollar Makeover: What’s Coming Next & Why You Should Watch

If there’s one city in South Florida that’s truly reinventing itself — and moving fast — it’s Pompano Beach. Over the past several years, city leaders, developers, and the CRA have aligned around a bold vision to transform Pompano’s coastline, downtown core, and infrastructure. The scale of investment is striking, and it’s creating opportunities for buyers, investors, and local businesses alike.

As someone working deals in Pompano regularly, I want to show you what’s happening now — especially in luxury residences — and why this market is poised for a major leap over the coming decade.

Major Projects & Districts to Watch (With Luxury Residences Highlighted)

Downtown / New Downtown & Mixed-Use Core

Over 75 acres are slated for redevelopment into a walkable, mixed-use downtown. Civic, retail, residential, and public spaces will interweave with upgraded infrastructure.
The master developer Roca Point Partners is leading the project. Phased build-out is expected through the 2030s.
One of the goals is to bridge Old Town, Civic Commons, and the Downtown Core — creating continuity and connectivity throughout the city center.

The POMP / Live! Entertainment District

The Pomp (POMP-LIVE!) is a 223-acre entertainment / resort / residential mixed-use project anchored by Harrah’s.
It’s planned to include hotel, retail, dining, live entertainment, residential units, and workspaces — turning a formerly single-purpose property into a year-round destination.

Waterfront, Pier, Marina & Bridge Upgrades

The Fishing Village & Pier area has been transformed into a premium beachfront hub, with new retail, restaurants, and hospitality layers.
Bond-funded upgrades include Fisher Family Pier and enhancements to the Atlantic Blvd Bridge to improve access and resilience.
On the residential side, new luxury oceanfront and mixed-use condo projects are taking shape along East Atlantic Boulevard and the beach corridor.
Several new developments are incorporating dockage, private slips, or marina-style amenities east of the Intracoastal.

New & Upcoming Luxury Residences (What’s Popping Up Now)

Here’s a roundup of some high-profile luxury condo and townhouse projects in Pompano that are either under construction, recently topped out, or in pre-construction phases:

Project	Scale / Units	Status / Notes
Salato Residences	40 units, 9 stories	Recently topped out; scheduled for 2026 completion; units priced from ~$2M to ~$4.9M.
Casamar	High-end oceanfront tower	Slated for direct beach frontage.
Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach	Boutique-style	Branded luxury project, first stand-alone Waldorf in Broward County.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences Pompano Beach	Dual towers (Beach Tower + Marina Tower)	Combines waterfront and marina-side living.
Briny Avenue Townhomes (700 Briny Ave)	Six luxury, three-story townhomes	Each unit ~3,400–4,000 sq ft, with two-car garage and cabana rooms.
Hidden Harbour (1590 N. Federal Hwy)	Mixed-use tower	~285 residential units + commercial; includes marina amenities.
Solemar	Mixed-use mid-rise	~253 residential units, plus street-level commercial space.

These projects reflect a broad spectrum — from boutique branded residences to larger mixed-use towers and luxury townhomes. Several are positioned to appeal to buyers who want both coastal views and easy access to the city’s evolving core.

What This Means for Buyers & Investors

First-mover advantage: Many of these projects are in early phases or just topping out. Getting in early could yield stronger long-term value.
Premium for walkability & water access: Residences closer to the pier, canal walks, beach frontage, or with dockage will command higher prices.
Luxury branding matters: Having “Waldorf Astoria,” “Ritz-Carlton,” or well-known architects/developers gives added prestige and resale strength.
Amenity expectations are rising: Full-service amenities (concierge, spa, fitness, private dining, marina access) are expected to be standard.
Rental & seasonal upside: As the entertainment, retail, and hotel layers expand around Pompano, high-end rentals will become more valuable.

A Local Realtor’s Perspective

Over the years I’ve been in Broward, I’ve seen many markets reposition themselves — few as intentionally and aggressively as Pompano is doing now. The presence of branded luxury residences, combined with public infrastructure investment and mixed-use vision, sets it apart.

If you're considering purchasing in Pompano — whether beachfront, downtown, or with a marina slip — now is one of the best windows to evaluate. These new projects give you a chance not just to own real estate, but to be part of the city’s transformation.

Thinking of Buying or Selling in Pompano Beach?

Always ask whether a residence is oceanfront, Intracoastal, or marina-access, and what phase the project is in (land acquisition, vertical, finish). That can make a big difference in pricing, risk, and final value. Reach out and I’ll help you map which luxury projects are best positioned for your lifestyle or investment goals.
