The location? 1174 to 1185 Hillsboro Mile, Hillsboro Beach, FL 33062
What’s planned? Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach will be a 10-story project on waterfront land, consisting of 92 homes and villas, and 11 private boat slips.
Seventy of the homes will be beachfront and the remaining 22 will be along the Intracoastal Waterway. Both buildings have been designed to be reminiscent of a “regal yacht, blending the indoors and outdoors with soft, curving terraces, ample natural light and sprawling exterior spaces.” Living flora will be found throughout the buildings’ walls and expand out from the garden spaces, “establishing a cohesive connection to nature,” according to developers. Many of the homes will have private garages.
Six oceanfront and seven coastal penthouses will be available, each of these designed for single-family living including a private rooftop pool.
The homes will range in size from 2,800 to 6,400 square feet, “with the opportunity to combine units to create vast coastal retreats,” according to the developer. Among the amenities: A wellness center with a spa and salon; two fitness centers featuring a yoga room; a sauna; tennis, paddle tennis and pickleball courts; and an on-site racquet court pro-shop.
There will also be a private oceanfront restaurant, a convivial bar and grill, cocktail lounge, a café lounge with a daily breakfast bar, and a creamery.

What will the homes cost? Prices start at $4 million for units in the coastal villas and $5 million for units in the oceanfront building.
What’s being replaced? The land has always been vacant, according to town officials.
When will construction begin and be finished? Developers are planning to break ground in the first quarter of 2024. It is scheduled for completion in 2026.
Seeing demand: The last multifamily building constructed in Hillsboro Beach was in 2016, according to Town Hall. Jon Paul Perez, president of the Related Group, said in a prepared statement that the demand is there. “Hillsboro Mile has long been a haven for the country’s elite. However, with our new development, we are upping the ante in a major way,” he said.
