Downtown Fort Lauderdale is experiencing a significant transformation, with the emergence of Ombelle, a new pre-construction condominium project poised to redefine the city’s skyline and lifestyle. Located in the vibrant Flagler Village, once an industrial hub, this development offers luxurious, fully furnished residences at prices considerably lower than comparable oceanfront properties.
Flagler Village: The New Heartbeat of Fort Lauderdale
Flagler Village, formerly characterized by warehouses and industry, is now a burgeoning cultural and residential district. It boasts a lively scene of new restaurants, art galleries, and street art, further enhanced by the convenient Brightline fast-train service connecting residents to Miami, Palm Beach, and Orlando. Ombelle, a visionary project by Dependable Equities and designed by ODA Architecture, is set to become a landmark in this dynamic area.
Ombelle: A Vision in the Sky
Ombelle, named after French flower clusters resembling an umbrella, will feature two striking 43-story towers. This pre-construction project, which has been in development for nearly five years, is now offering pre-construction sales. The towers are designed to dramatically reshape Fort Lauderdale’s skyline, offering a futuristic aesthetic. The estimated completion date is 2028, with the development housing 775 fully finished and furnished residences and over 100,000 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor amenities.
Luxurious Residences and Unparalleled Amenities
The residences at Ombelle range from studios to spacious four-bedroom penthouses, with prices starting in the $500s for a one-bedroom unit. Each unit is designed to be move-in ready, featuring:
- Fully finished and furnished designer interiors.
- Private terraces with views of downtown Fort Lauderdale and the Atlantic Ocean.
- Soaring 10-foot ceilings.
- Choice of European oak wood or porcelain flooring.
- Smart home technology.
- Custom-designed gourmet kitchens with high-end appliances.
- Luxurious bathrooms with premium finishes.
Ombelle’s extensive amenities include:
- An upscale onsite restaurant and private dining room.
- A bistro-style coffee lounge.
- Sunrise and sunset pools with a poolside bar.
- Mini-golf course and professional golf simulator.
- Outdoor sunset lounge with a summer kitchen.
- Two indoor pickleball courts.
- Gaming lounge and screening room.
- Children’s playroom and dog run with a pet spa.
Work, Wellness, and Convenience
For professionals, Ombelle offers a 24/7 co-working suite with private lounges, conference rooms, a music room, library, recording studio, and creative arts studio. The ground level will host retail and dining spaces, a convenience store, beauty salon, and valet services. The development also features a wellness center with a steam room, sauna, and treatment rooms. A state-of-the-art fitness center spanning over 5,700 square feet includes dedicated yoga and Pilates studios, private training rooms, and an elite boxing area. Notably, Ombelle will be home to the area’s first Equinox fitness facility, offering residents a complimentary one-year membership.
Prime Location and Value
Ombelle’s location in the heart of Fort Lauderdale is ideal, situated just two miles from the beaches and a few blocks from the upscale dining, shopping, and art galleries of Las Olas. Residents can explore the New River via water taxis or easily access the Brightline train for travel to major South Florida cities and beyond. The project’s pricing, starting in the $500s for one-bedroom residences, offers significant value compared to other new developments in the area.
