AUBERGE - THE ULTIMATE FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH TROPHY PENTHOUSE
AUBERGE - THE ULTIMATE FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH TROPHY PENTHOUSE

2200 North Ocean Boulevard - Fort Lauderdale, FL
- $13.85M ASK — 5,822 SF = $2,379/SF.
- ONE-OF-ONE TROPHY — two-story penthouse, top floors, 360° ocean + Intracoastal views.
- PRIVATE POOL + MASSIVE TERRACES — the type of features that make this fundamentally different from a standard Auberge unit.
- $12M = THE NUMBER — 5,822 SF for just $2,061/SF.
- $11.5M = $1,975/SF — $2.35M / 17% below ask.
- WEST PALM COMPARISON — The Bristol’s three latest $10M–$20M closings averaged $3,218/SF, including a 2026 sale at $3,503/SF.
- NEW WEST PALM IS EVEN HIGHER — South Flagler House’s current trophy inventory asks roughly $3,179–$5,035/SF; its duplex penthouse asks $70M / $5,035/SF. These are asks, not closed comps.
- MIAMI BEACH TROPHY PRICING — Q1 2026 active inventory included Continuum North 5BRs around $5,025/SF, Oceana 4BRs around $5,309/SF, and Oceana 5BRs around $8,340/SF.
- THE RELATIVE-VALUE TRADE — at a $12M purchase / $2,061/SF, Auberge would be roughly 36% below The Bristol’s $3,218/SF trailing-year benchmark and dramatically below trophy asking levels in Miami Beach and new West Palm. That’s not an apples-to-apples valuation, but it shows the magnitude of the geographic pricing gap.
- THE TRADE — Open $11.25M → target $11.75M–$12.25M → max ~$12.5M.
3 REASONS TO BUY
1. BUY THE SAME SOUTH FLORIDA TROPHY LIFESTYLE FOR LESS — Around $2,000–$2,100/SF versus roughly $3,200+ closed at The Bristol and much higher asking prices for trophy inventory in West Palm and Miami Beach.
2. YOU’RE ACTUALLY ON THE OCEAN — Auberge gives you direct Fort Lauderdale beachfront, while West Palm’s Flagler Drive trophy towers are primarily Intracoastal waterfront overlooking Palm Beach.
3. REPRICING OPTIONALITY — You don’t need Fort Lauderdale to become Miami. A partial narrowing of the $/SF gap could create substantial appreciation from a ~$2,061/SF basis.
THE $12M RELATIVE-VALUE TRADE
AUBERGE: ~$2,061/SF purchase target
BRISTOL: ~$3,218/SF recent benchmark
SOUTH FLAGLER HOUSE: ~$3,179–$5,035/SF current asks
MIAMI BEACH TROPHY: often $3,500–$5,000+/SF in premium active inventory.
SMART MONEY TRADE
WHY PAY MIAMI OR WEST PALM PRICING?
BUY 5,822 SF OF DIRECT-OCEAN TROPHY REAL ESTATE AROUND $2,000/SF.
BUY THE PENTHOUSE. BUY THE SCARCITY. BUY THE PRICING GAP.
