Pier Sixty-Six Rebirth – Featuring the Iconic Rotating Restaurant and Luxury Units for Sale

Pier Sixty-Six: A Landmark Resorts’ Stunning Rebirth

Featuring the Iconic Rotating Restaurant and Luxury Units for Sale

After nearly seven years of redevelopment following the devastation of Hurricane Irma, Pier Sixty-Six, one of Fort Lauderdale’s most beloved landmarks, is back in business. Since reopening on January 10, the property has undergone a transformation that blends the resort’s rich history with modern luxury and cutting-edge amenities. For real estate enthusiasts and fans of the iconic resort, the exciting news is twofold: the return of the famous rotating restaurant and the exclusive opportunity to purchase stunning residential units within this one-of-a-kind property.

The Return of the Iconic Pier Top Revolving Lounge

When it comes to the history of Pier Sixty-Six, one feature stands out: the Pier Top revolving lounge. Opened in 1965, the revolving restaurant, which rotated once every 66 minutes, became a symbol of the resort and provided guests with a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of Fort Lauderdale’s skyline.

For years, the restaurant remained dormant under previous ownerships, leaving many nostalgic for the unique dining experience it offered. Now, as part of the resort’s $100 million redevelopment, the Pier Top is spinning one again. After completing some final touches, the lounge is now open, serving guests fancy cocktails and light snacks while they enjoy sweeping views of the city and ocean.

This return to the spotlight of the Pier Top is a nod to the past, offering both long-time fans and new visitors the chance to experience a truly unforgettable dining experience—one that’s uniquely tied to Fort Lauderdale’s skyline. The rev

olving lounge was one of the earliest of its kind, and now, it’s ready to take its place as a must-visit destination once more.

Luxury Units for Sale: A Prime Investment Opportunity

For those looking to invest in something truly special, Pier Sixty-Six offers the chance to own luxury residential units within this exclusive resort. The property now boasts a private club with its own pool, two condo buildings, and a selection of residential units that can be placed in a vacation rental pool.

These properties are priced from $3.85 million to $15.5 million, offering a range of options for affluent buyers seeking the ultimate in luxury living. With the resort’s prime location along the 17th Street Causeway, residents can enjoy unparalleled access to the vibrant Fort Lauderdale area, complete with a private marina featuring 164 slips for boaters.

The residential units themselves are designed with comfort and elegance in mind. Expect spacious layouts, high-end finishes, and panoramic views of the resort and surrounding area. For those seeking a place to call home or a lucrative investment in the heart of one of Florida’s most sought-after markets, these properties are a rare opportunity.

A Resilient and Reimagined Resort

Beyond the return of the Pier Top and the stunning residential opportunities, the overall redevelopment of Pier Sixty-Six emphasizes luxury, spaciousness, and resilience. The foundations of the resort have been extensively fortified to ensure that it is better prepared for future hurricanes, something that was a major consideration during the rebuild process.

The resort itself spans 32 acres and includes a remarkable array of amenities. With 12 restaurants and lounges featuring cuisines from around the world, three pools, a spa, and three ballrooms, Pier Sixty-Six is designed to cater to both residents and visitors. Its extensive marina also adds another layer of exclusivity, making it a perfect choice for boating enthusiasts.

The redevelopment places a strong emphasis on creating a community atmosphere, with dedicated spaces for residential arrivals and departures, and ensuring easy access for locals to the resort’s many restaurants. This blend of high-end living, world-class dining, and thoughtful design has turned Pier Sixty-Six into an even more impressive destination than ever before.
