built in the 1960s by the Phillips Petroleum Company (Phillips 66), the
completely reimagined 325-room luxury resort is uniquely located at the
gateway to Fort Lauderdale beach along the 17th Street Causeway and the
Intracoastal Waterway. Reflective of its marine lifestyle, Pier Sixty-Six
will offer guests a wide variety of culinary options including superb waterfront
dining; a luxurious destination spa and state-of-the-art fitness program;
two-level tropical pool oasis including separate family and adult areas
with private cabanas and daybeds; and more than 40,000-square-feet of indoor
and outdoor event and meeting space. In addition, Pier Top, the resort’s
famous lounge that crowns the spire-topped tower, will re-open to guests
offering 360-degree views of the ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and downtown
Fort Lauderdale.

These new components complement Pier Sixty-Six Marina, one of the premier U.S. yachting destinations with 164 slips and 5,000-linear-feet of dockage and deep-water slips for luxury yachts up to 400 feet in length. “This is an exciting project that preserves an iconic element of Fort Lauderdale, while re-creating a social center along the waterfront,” said Tom Luersen, president of CoralTree. “This is our sixth project with Tavistock, who have such a thoughtful approach to development and design. Pier Sixty-Six will set the bar on waterfront lifestyle in South Florida with a five-star product and exceptional services.” Along with Pier Sixty-Six, CoralTree also manages the Lake Nona Wave Hotel in Orlando on behalf of Tavistock along with four of the company’s Marriott branded properties in Lake Nona including a Marriott Courtyard, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites and a new Aloft Hotel, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2023. “Tavistock has a strong track record of success working with CoralTree, and we are looking forward to working with them once again on this exciting project,” said Craig Collin, president of Tavistock Development Company. “Pier Sixty-Six will be a transformative property for Fort Lauderdale and CoralTree will help us reinstate it as a landmark destination.” In addition to reimagining the resort, Tavistock is introducing The Residences at Pier Sixty-Six, the property’s first real estate offering, consisting of 92 residences starting at $3.6 million.
