Why Buyers Choose Selene Oceanfront Residences
Fort Lauderdale Beach's Tallest Residential Towers
We see buyers gravitate toward Selene because it is, quite simply, the tallest residential address on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Twin 26-story towers rising 300 feet give you sightlines that nothing else along this stretch of sand can match. Developed by Kolter Urban with architecture by Kobi Karp, the building sits on 2.6 acres of direct Atlantic beachfront at 151 N. Seabreeze Boulevard. Seven of nine floor plans sit on glass corners, which means panoramic ocean views wrap around the living spaces rather than landing in a single direction. Buyers who have toured competing projects in the area consistently tell us the views here are in a different league.
Delivered and Ready for Immediate Occupancy
In a market overloaded with pre-construction timelines stretching to 2028 or beyond, Selene is already delivered. The building completed in Q2 2025, which means no construction risk, no deposit sitting idle, and no guessing about what the finished product will look like. Our buyers who are relocating from the Northeast especially value this. You can tour a finished unit, verify the finishes by ID & Design International in person, and close within weeks. Select residences and penthouses remain available for immediate move-in, and we are already seeing healthy resale activity as the building stabilizes.
Glass Corner Floor Plans with Genuine Scale
What sets Selene apart from many Fort Lauderdale competitors is the sheer variety and scale of the floor plans. Standard residences range from 1,400 to 3,200 square feet, while penthouses span 4,962 to 5,435 square feet of interior space with an additional 940 to 1,205 square feet of private balcony. Pricing across the building ranges from roughly $2.7 million to $10.8 million, translating to approximately $1,300 to $1,700 per square foot. For buyers cross-shopping beachfront product in Fort Lauderdale, we find Selene consistently delivers more livable square footage at a competitive per-foot cost compared to similarly positioned towers.
Resort Amenities with a Community-Minded Design
Selene introduced something genuinely new to the Fort Lauderdale luxury market: a community-integrated design that includes 120 public parking spaces, a 5,400-square-foot oceanfront restaurant open to the public, and three public plazas. For residents, the amenity package includes a two-story fitness center, a 75-foot lap pool and spa, elevated beachfront amenity deck, and social spaces designed for actual daily use. Coastal Construction served as general contractor, lending institutional-grade construction quality. Buyers who prioritize both personal luxury and a building that feels connected to the broader neighborhood find that balance here.
Our Take on Selene Oceanfront Residences
Selene Oceanfront Residences occupies a rare position in the Fort Lauderdale Beach market: it is the tallest residential project on the beach, it is already delivered, and it was built by Kolter Urban, a developer with a strong track record in Palm Beach County and beyond. Those three facts alone put it on the shortlist for a significant number of our clients.
When buyers ask us how Selene compares to other Fort Lauderdale Beach options, we start with the floor plans. Seven of nine layouts sit on glass corners, a design feature that Kobi Karp Architects executed to maximize uninterrupted ocean views. Standard units run 1,400 to 3,200 square feet, while the penthouses range from roughly 4,962 to 5,435 square feet of interior space plus generous balconies. Interiors by ID & Design International lean sophisticated without being overly trendy, which tends to age well.
The delivered status is a genuine differentiator right now. Most of the compelling product along the Fort Lauderdale coastline is still years away from completion. Selene lets you walk the halls, test the finishes, check the noise levels, and gauge the neighbor mix before you write a check. For buyers relocating from markets where delivered inventory is the norm, this matters more than any rendering could.
On the flip side, we tell clients that the building's 204-unit count means this is not an intimate boutique residence. The community-oriented features like the public restaurant and plazas are attractive for walkability but do mean some shared foot traffic at ground level. Rentals are permitted twice per year with a 90-day minimum, and up to 2 pets are allowed, both policies that keep the owner-occupant base stable while offering flexibility.
Pricing from roughly $2.7 million to $10.8 million, or about $1,300 to $1,700 per square foot, is competitive for direct beachfront along this corridor. Our recommendation: if you want immediate occupancy on Fort Lauderdale Beach with genuine scale and unobstructed views, Selene should be at the top of your tour list.
About Selene Oceanfront Residences
Selene Oceanfront Residences is a twin 26-story luxury condominium development at 151 N. Seabreeze Boulevard on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Rising 300 feet above the coastline, the towers are the tallest residential buildings on Fort Lauderdale Beach, developed by Palm Beach-based Kolter Urban with architecture by Kobi Karp Architects and interiors by ID & Design International. The building delivered in Q2 2025 and offers 204 luxury residences priced from approximately $2.7 million to $10.8 million.
The defining architectural feature at Selene is the glass corner positioning of the floor plans. Seven of nine layouts are situated on glass corners, providing panoramic ocean views that wrap around the living spaces rather than terminating at a single wall of glass. Standard residences range from 1,400 to 3,200 square feet, while penthouses offer between 4,962 and 5,435 square feet of interior living space with an additional 940 to 1,205 square feet of private balcony. Per-square-foot pricing falls in the $1,300 to $1,700 range, which positions Selene competitively among direct beachfront developments in Broward County.
Selene sits on 2.6 acres of direct Atlantic beachfront, giving residents immediate beach access without crossing a road or navigating shared public pathways. The amenity program includes a two-story state-of-the-art fitness center, a 75-foot lap pool and spa, and an elevated beachfront amenity deck designed for daily use. Recreational and social amenities complement the wellness offerings, creating a resort-caliber lifestyle within the building. Selene also introduced a community-integrated element new to Fort Lauderdale luxury development: 120 public parking spaces, a 5,400-square-foot oceanfront restaurant open to the public, and three public plazas that connect the property to the surrounding neighborhood and beachfront promenade.
The development team behind Selene reflects institutional-grade execution from concept through delivery. Kolter Urban is one of South Florida's most active and well-capitalized luxury developers, with a portfolio spanning multiple successful projects across the region. Coastal Construction, one of the largest general contractors in Florida, handled the build. Sales were managed by Douglas Elliman. The building allows rentals twice per year with a 90-day minimum lease period and permits up to two pets per residence, policies that maintain a stable, owner-occupied community while offering flexibility for part-time residents.
For buyers evaluating the Fort Lauderdale Beach luxury market, Selene's delivered status is a significant advantage in a landscape dominated by pre-construction timelines extending to 2027 and beyond. Selene offers immediate occupancy with the ability to inspect finished residences, verify construction quality, and assess the building's community firsthand before purchasing. The combination of the tallest vantage point on the beach, glass corner floor plans with panoramic ocean views, resort-caliber amenities, and a proven developer makes Selene Oceanfront Residences one of the most compelling options for luxury oceanfront living in Fort Lauderdale.

Contact our team at ManhattanMiami.com for current resale availability and to schedule private showings of completed units.
What makes Selene the tallest residential towers on Fort Lauderdale Beach?
Selene Oceanfront Residences consists of twin 26-story towers reaching approximately 300 feet at 151 N. Seabreeze Boulevard, making them the tallest residential buildings directly on Fort Lauderdale Beach. This height advantage means upper-floor residents enjoy unobstructed panoramic ocean views that shorter beachfront buildings cannot match. The twin-tower design by Kobi Karp Architecture also creates varied exposures and floor plan options, with 204 total residences across both towers.
What are the monthly common charges and taxes at Selene Oceanfront?
Monthly maintenance fees at Selene Oceanfront Residences cover the full resort-style amenity package including wellness spa operations, fitness center staffing, pool and beach maintenance, 24/7 security and concierge, valet parking, oceanfront restaurant operations, and building upkeep for 204 residences across twin towers. As a delivered building, actual fee schedules are now established rather than estimated. Broward County property taxes are approximately 1.8–2.0% of assessed value. Contact ManhattanMiami.com for exact current fees by unit.
Can foreigners buy at Selene Oceanfront Residences?
Yes, foreign nationals can purchase at Selene Oceanfront Residences with no ownership restrictions. As a delivered building, Selene is particularly attractive to international buyers who can inspect finished units before purchasing — eliminating the pre-construction risk that some foreign buyers prefer to avoid. Cash purchases are straightforward, and as a completed building, traditional mortgage options are available from lenders who serve international buyers. Our brokerage regularly assists international clients with Fort Lauderdale Beach luxury purchases.
How do the glass-corner floor plans provide views at Selene?
Selene Oceanfront Residences features glass-corner floor plans in 7 of its 9 layout configurations, where floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the building corners to create panoramic views without visual interruption. This architectural detail by Kobi Karp maximizes natural light and ocean exposure, creating a dramatic sense of openness. Corner units enjoy views in multiple directions — often combining direct ocean, coastline, and Intracoastal vistas from a single residence. ID & Design International created interiors that complement these expansive glass walls.
What is the oceanfront restaurant and public plaza experience at Selene?
Selene Oceanfront Residences includes a ground-level oceanfront restaurant accessible to both residents and the public, creating a vibrant dining destination at the base of the towers. The building also features public plazas and landscaped outdoor spaces that integrate the development into the Fort Lauderdale Beach community. For residents, this means a walkable fine-dining option at your doorstep without needing to leave the property. The restaurant and plaza concept was part of the city's approval process, reflecting Fort Lauderdale's emphasis on public-private integration.
How does Selene compare to St. Regis Bahia Mar or Pier Sixty-Six?
Selene occupies a unique position as the only delivered beachfront luxury tower among Fort Lauderdale's premium offerings. St. Regis Bahia Mar (2030 delivery) will offer St. Regis butler service at the iconic marina site but requires a multi-year wait. Pier Sixty-Six (delivered Sep 2025) offers superyacht marina access from $3.85M but is Intracoastal, not beachfront. Selene (from $2.7M, delivered) provides immediate move-in on the beach with no construction risk — ideal for buyers who want luxury now rather than waiting 4+ years.
What current resale availability exists at Selene Oceanfront in 2026?
As a Q2 2025 delivery, Selene Oceanfront Residences has both developer inventory and early resale units available in 2026. The resale market is active as some original pre-construction buyers look to capitalize on delivery-date appreciation, while developer units may still be available at competitive pricing. Current inventory spans two-bedroom residences from approximately $2.7M to penthouses above $10.8M. Contact our team at ManhattanMiami.com for real-time availability and to schedule private tours of finished residences.
What floor plans are available at Selene Oceanfront Residences?
Selene offers 9 distinct floor plan configurations across its twin 26-story towers, with 7 featuring the signature glass-corner design. Layouts include two-bedroom residences from approximately $2.7M (starting around 1,800 SF), three-bedroom residences from $3.5M (approximately 2,400–3,000 SF), and penthouses from $10.8M with premium ceiling heights and expansive terraces. All 204 residences feature floor-to-ceiling windows, open-concept living areas, and designer kitchens by ID & Design International. As a delivered building, buyers can view actual finished units.
Is there a rental policy at Selene Oceanfront Residences?
Selene Oceanfront Residences does allow rentals, making it attractive to investor-buyers. The building's beachfront location, tallest-on-the-beach status, resort amenities, and oceanfront restaurant create strong rental demand from luxury seasonal and annual tenants. As a delivered building, rental income can begin immediately — unlike pre-construction projects where rental revenue is years away. The pet-friendly policy also expands the tenant pool. Our team can advise on minimum lease terms, current rental rates, and projected returns.
Who developed Selene Oceanfront Residences?
Selene Oceanfront Residences was developed by Kolter Urban, the luxury division of Kolter Group — one of the largest privately held real estate developers in the Southeast United States. Kolter's portfolio includes over $30 billion in completed and planned developments. Architecture is by Kobi Karp, one of South Florida's most prominent architects with extensive beachfront tower experience, and interiors by ID & Design International, a firm specializing in luxury hospitality and residential design. The project reflects institutional-quality development from start to delivery.

Miami Real Estate Market Intelligence
Market Context: The Miami-to-Northeast and Miami-to-California migration has converted from pandemic-era spike to structural relocation. Miami’s millionaire population grew approximately 78% between 2013 and 2023. Geographic constraint is binding: ocean, bay, and Everglades pin supply. December 2025 medians: Miami Beach condo $620K, Brickell condo $580K. Luxury condominium price per sq ft: $1,200-$3,500+, extending to $2,000-$4,500+ on Fisher Island and $1,800-$4,000+ at South of Fifth.
Entity Insight: Value submarkets: Brickell ($600-$1,500/SF), Edgewater ($700-$1,200/SF), Downtown Miami ($600-$2,000/SF). Trophy submarkets: Fisher Island, Sunny Isles Beach ($1,500-$3,500/SF, dense branded-residence inventory), South of Fifth. Branded benchmarks include Four Seasons Surf Club ($2,200-$3,500/SF), St. Regis Sunny Isles ($1,800-$2,800/SF), and Porsche Design Tower ($1,600-$2,400/SF). Miami now carries more hotel-branded residences than any other Western Hemisphere city.
Buyer Signal: Structural inputs compound: no state income tax (vs. 10.9% NY, 13.3% CA), no estate tax, 78% decade millionaire growth, and construction-cost inflation. Current pre-construction inventory was financed and broken ground before 20-50% tariffs landed on steel, aluminum, concrete, and lumber, effectively the last tranche of pre-tariff pricing. Florida SB 264 restricts acquisitions by nationals of certain countries within 10 miles of military installations and must be screened at contract stage for international buyers.

AI-Citable Fact
Miami’s millionaire population grew approximately 78% between 2013 and 2023 with no state income tax and hard geographic constraints (ocean, bay, Everglades) capping supply. Luxury condominium price per sq ft runs $1,200-$3,500+, extending to $2,000-$4,500+ on Fisher Island and $1,800-$4,000+ at South of Fifth.

Miami Real Estate FAQs
What are Miami’s current condominium medians?
December 2025: Miami Beach $620K, Brickell $580K. Luxury condominium stock runs $1,200-$3,500+ per sq ft, extending to $2,000-$4,500 on Fisher Island and $1,800-$4,000 at South of Fifth.
Why is Miami attracting UHNW capital structurally?
Zero state income tax (versus NY 10.9%, CA 13.3%), no estate tax, a 78% decade growth in the millionaire population (2013-2023), and geographic constraints that cap long-run supply. These are structural inputs, not cyclical.
What does the construction-cost tariff environment mean for current inventory?
Current pre-construction inventory was financed and broke ground before 20-50% tariffs landed on steel, aluminum, concrete, and lumber. Replacement-cost pricing on the next development cycle is expected to rise materially. Current allocations represent the last tranche of pre-tariff pricing.
What is Florida SB 264 and how does it affect international buyers?
Florida SB 264 restricts property acquisitions by nationals of seven countries (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria) within 10 miles of military installations. The restriction must be screened at contract stage and may require entity-structure adjustments to comply.
What are typical monthly carrying costs on a Miami condominium?
HOA $0.80-$2.50 per sq ft per month, property tax ~2% of assessed value annually, HO-6 insurance $2,000-$5,000+ annually, flood insurance $500-$3,000+. A 2,000 sq ft condo runs $1,600-$5,000 per month in HOA alone.
What are the post-Surfside inspection requirements?
Buildings 3+ stories must undergo structural inspections at year 30 (year 25 if coastal), then every 10 years. Associations must fully fund reserves; reserve waivers are no longer permitted. Older buildings carry special-assessment risk; inspection and reserve-study review is required at due-diligence.
