PIER SIXTY-SIX

PIER SIXTY-SIX HISTORY

Set on 32 waterfront acres along Ft. Lauderdale's 17th Street Causeway and the Intracoastal Waterway, Pier Sixty-Six was originally established in the 1950s as a fuel dock and gas station for Phillips 66 Petroleum.

In the 1960s, the Pier Sixty-Six hotel 66-spire tower was built, forever changing Ft. Lauderdale's skyline.

The property also features a world-class, 164-slip, deep water marina in the yachting capital of the world.

REVITALIZATION VISION

Pier Sixty-Six is an iconic property, and Tavistock Development is taking a thoughtful approach about to how to protect that legacy.

“When we first discovered that this special property was available, we knew there were incredible opportunities to leverage the collective experience of our teams and further establish this iconic hotel and marina as one of Ft. Lauderdale’s defining destinations. We are very excited for what the future holds with this next chapter of Pier Sixty-Six.”

Jessi Blakley, APR, Vice President, Tavistock Development

FORT LAUDERDALE'S SOCIAL HARBOR

For more than 50 years, the Pier Sixty-Six has been a beacon in Fort Lauderdale. With its iconic spire-topped tower, the property and its exceptional waterfront location has drawn celebrities, civic leaders, Fort Lauderdale society and visitors from around the world.

Tavistock Development Company is in the process of reimagining Pier Sixty-Six as Fort Lauderdale’s “social harbor.” A thoughtful destination where those seeking relaxation and refuge; engaging events and alluring amenities; and an approachable marine and resort lifestyle, all come together.

Creating a seamless connection between land and sea, the world-class Marina and waterfront will serve as the gateway to the Pier Sixty-Six. Locals, guests and visitors will feel welcomed in this tropical haven that harbors feelings of sanctuary, discovery and connection.

DEVELOPMENT PLANS

Tavistock is encouraged and excited to be part of Fort Lauderdale’s future, and intends to be among those leading the charge for this next wave of smart growth and development with transparency and engagement throughout the process.

In 2018, the City of Fort Lauderdale approved our development agreement. The development agreement is a significant first step for us as we look to thoughtfully plan and develop this large-scale, 32-acre property on both sides of 17th Street Causeway; a plan which we believe, to do right, will last for the next several years. This agreement affords us the time we need to be thoughtful and smart. The agreement also unifies the properties and gives us the opportunity to plan them as one cohesive development, which will allow us to create site plans with a mix of uses that are more appropriate and thoughtful than what previous owners and approved plans allowed for. Plans include a Marina Promenade along the waterfront to enhance public access to the property and a commitment to designate one of our City’s most iconic structures, the Pier Tower, as historic once it’s restored.

PHASE ONE

In 2019, the City’s Planning & Zoning Board approved our first phase of development, which includes the northeast portion of the property on the north side of 17th Street, where the existing hotel property sits today.

Phase one construction is underway.

During construction, you’ll still be able to enjoy the entire Pier Sixty-Six Marina. In addition, the access road under the bridge will remain open.

Our first priority is to get our storied hotel restored and rejuvenated as quickly as possible so that it can once again become the social harbor of Fort Lauderdale. The Tower sustained significant damage from Hurricane Irma. Restoring and reopening the hotel is priority number one.

MARINA

The Pier South Marina is among the City’s most prominent Marinas and its unique location on the south side of the 17th Street bridge is an especially attractive feature for larger vessels staying in our City, which is known worldwide as the yachting capital.

The dock at Pier South recently completed some updates. The new, modern floating dock can now accommodate vessels up to 400 feet in length while taking another step toward efforts to enhance and revitalize this iconic waterfront property.

RESIDENTIAL

In fall 2022, Tavistock Development Company officially launched sales for The Residences at Pier Sixty-Six, the highly anticipated first real estate opportunity at the iconic Fort Lauderdale property.
