Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach vs The St. Regis Residences, Bahia Mar

The comparison thesis

Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach is quieter, more private, and directly oceanfront — for buyers who want branded luxury with a more residential rhythm.

St. Regis Bahia Mar is different. It brings marina energy, yachting access, and a more connected Fort Lauderdale lifestyle.

If you’re choosing between them, this is not just about finishes or brand. It’s about the kind of waterfront life you actually want to live.

And RET would not stop there. We would also compare both against completed waterfront resale with established pricing and resale history before you commit.

Where Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach Wins

Waldorf Pompano is the more direct fit for a Pompano oceanfront search. Compare the available residence orientation with the building’s beachfront setting.

Where The St. Regis Residences, Bahia Mar Wins

Bahia Mar merits priority when the Fort Lauderdale marina setting drives the search, provided a suitable slip and its separate lease costs are confirmed.

Who Each Better Suits

Waldorf: buyers who want branded luxury with a more residential rhythm.

St. Regis: buyers for whom marina energy, yachting access and a more connected Fort Lauderdale lifestyle matter.

Boating and waterfront differences

Waldorf offers a direct oceanfront setting in Pompano Beach. The supplied program includes private marina access and a marine concierge, with resident Yacht Club membership available. A specific slip, vessel size allowance, membership fee or included berth is not verified.

Bahia Mar combines the beach, bay and marina surroundings. The developer describes a 250-slip marina accommodating yachts up to 350 feet and reserved slips offered for lease. A residence purchase does not establish that a suitable slip is available.

Current pricing and position

The latest pricing evidence retained for this comparison is developer-reported information received October 5, 2026: Waldorf Pompano from approximately $2.75 million; St. Regis Bahia Mar Private Residences from approximately $5 million. These are starting prices for different offerings, not a like-for-like value ranking or a live availability quotation.

Ask RET to confirm the current available residence, line, view, purchase terms and ownership costs before comparing the two.

Worth Knowing

Within Bahia Mar, confirm the exact tower and collection. Private and Resort offerings must not be treated as the same ownership proposition.

Marina access requires its own check. Confirm the actual vessel’s dimensions, berth availability, lease terms and separate charges. Neither supplied program establishes an included, guaranteed boat slip.

For both projects, confirm residence-specific delivery, deposit obligations and annual ownership costs. Developer renderings show proposed features; availability and terms can change.

Completed waterfront resale alternatives

The existing waterfront residences featured in Episode 04 provide a completed-property and established-resale-history reference point; they are not direct substitutes for the new branded offerings.

Current status, pricing, address permissions and public eligibility follow the live RET listing release. No immediate-occupancy or vacancy claim is made.

Where Neither May Be Best

If you prefer a completed waterfront property with established resale history, RET would compare both against existing resale before committing.

If an included, guaranteed boat slip is mandatory, neither supplied program establishes that entitlement. Resolve the vessel-specific berth in writing first.
