NYC Developer and Architect Plan Towers in Fort Lauderdale

Manhattan, NYC-based architect ODA designed a pair of 43-story tapering residential towers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for developer Dependable Equities, headquartered in Brooklyn, NYC, The Architect’s Newspaper reports. Incorporating a nine-story podium with 11,000 ft² for restaurants and retail, Ombrelle is planned at 300 Northeast 3^rd Avenue in the trendy Flagler Village neighborhood. Also on the drawing board for the 1.5 million-ft² development are a large urban plaza connected to a colonnade surrounding the structure and amenities such as two swimming pools, a work lounge, a chef’s kitchen and a shared garden. Staggered outdoor balconies will “create unique sky gardens for each apartment,” the source observes. Situated strategically on a corner, the urban plaza aims to be a “catalyst for public activity,” according to ODA, which announced its inaugural Fort Lauderdale project in 2021.
