The project
Bungalow East is a 14-story, 34-residence boutique condominium at 530 North Birch Road in Fort Lauderdale Beach, developed by Merrimac Ventures with architecture by Swedroe Architecture and interiors by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio. The 34 homes are three- and four-bedroom residences of roughly 2,100 to 2,800 square feet plus two ~4,000-square-foot penthouses with private rooftop decks.
Plans were unveiled in November 2024 and the sales gallery opened in March 2025; the project remains in its pre-construction phase with pricing from about $2 million and completion estimated for 2027 after an ~18-month build. Pricing and timelines require sales-gallery confirmation.
