CELEBRATING LIFE ON THE BARRIER ISLAND
To rise on Orton Avenue in North Beach Village, The Terraces will offer 18 residences in a 10-story building
THE TERRACES COMES TO NORTH BEACH VILLAGE
NORTH BEACH VILLAGE, FORMERLY KNOWN AS Birch Estates, continues its steady transformation. Started in 2004 with the construction of La Rive, a contemporary condominium designed by Louis Revuelta, the neighborhood’s “extreme makeover” has shifted into high gear as of late. As hotels like The Four Seasons and condominiums like Paramount quickly rise and become hot spots, the pace and caliber of the area’s transition is mind-boggling to say the least. Locals recall 20 years back when its buildings seemed to be decomposing as they watched.
With dozens of mid-century era buildings like Manhattan Tower and Birch Tower as well as hotels like Aqua, Tranquilo and Beach Gardens now spiffed up and gleaming, an era of glam-
our by the beach has returned. Icing on the cake has to be the 96 room Kimpton Goodland Hotel, which opened its doors last year in a landmarked building designed by Lester Avery.
Of course, North Beach Village is rich with a history that goes beyond its Mid-Century Modern showpieces. It’s home to the 45-acre Bonnet House estate. Just across E. Sunrise Boulevard is the sprawling, 180-acre Birch State Park. Part of Hugh Taylor Birch’s former estate, it now serves as Fort Lauderdale’s “Central Park. ”
Next residential opportunity coming online: The Terraces. This smart, boutique-sized development will offer a collection of 18 residences is due to rise at the very heart of North Beach Village.
As its name suggests, the design goal at The Terraces was to underscore the advantage South Florida has over most of the nation in months like February and March... our indoor/outdoor lifestyle. All 18 residences have extensive terraces. Unlike the tiny balconies of earlier eras that had balconies barely big enough to turn around, these really qualify as outdoor rooms. Even the smallest terrace, on a 1,775 square foot unit is an impressive 335 square feet.
Many other units offer sunrise and sunset terraces, ranging from 900 to nearly 1,100 square feet. Penthouse residences #1 and #2 at The Terraces are both two-story units, and as such, each offers sweeping, wraparound terraces of 2,612 and 2,855 square feet respectively!
Inside, these residences were designed with ten-foot ceilings and offer walls of true, floor-to-ceiling impact glass. floors are finished with large format, matte-finished porcelain tile. Attention to detail will be paramount in the finished at The Terrace, and buyers will see that with solid wood interior doors with concealed hinges, custom-finished closets, and dimmable, recessed LED lighting throughout.
Residences here have been designed with open floor plans for relaxed entertaining with what its developers describe as “a breezy elegance. ” In the kitchens this translates into clean-lined, modern, handle-free European cabinetry, a food prep island that does double duty as a breakfast bar and an appliance package that includes top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances.

Primary bedroom suites are designed with a double, en-suite bathroom. On each side of these spa-like bathrooms is a long, floating vanity as well as an entrance into a large, glassed in shower as well as a private toilet enclosure. Just beyond are dual, walk-in closets. One of the advantages of The Terraces’ “post-pandemic” design: each residence will be equipped with five-stage Hepa air cleaner with both ultraviolet light and photocatalytic filter. Besides the secluded pool deck, its developers have included over 6,000 square feet of amenity spaces, including a fully equipped gym, club roo0m with kitchen, private office conference rooms and two summer kitchens.
Located blocks from favorite dining spots like Lona Cocina, Takato, and new North beach Village venues like Evelyn’s Fort Lauderdale at the Four Seasons and Botanic at the Goodland, The Terraces has dinner and weekend brunch options covered. Developed by the Latitude Group, The Terraces is being marketed by Douglas Elliman and scheduled for completion sometime in 2023.
The architectural firm, Garcia Stromberg, did a great job orienting the building so the residences have beautiful views all around, both inside and onviews all around, both the ter-
