About Gale

Gale Residences contains 129 residences across 12 stories. The building was developed by Newgard Development Group, with architecture by Garcia Stromberg and interior design by Urban Robot Associates. Residences include one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, along with seven two-story beach homes.

Condominium residences were originally offered at approximately 780 to 2,100 square feet. Interior features vary by unit but were designed around open layouts, floor-to-ceiling glass, contemporary kitchens, and modern finishes. Select residences have oversized balconies positioned to take advantage of views toward the Intracoastal, ocean, or surrounding Central Beach skyline.

The building’s location is a defining part of the experience. Fort Lauderdale Beach is just east of Gale, while the Intracoastal Waterway lies to the west. Residents can also reach Las Olas Boulevard, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, and downtown Fort Lauderdale without traveling far from the beach district.

History of Gale

Development of Gale began in 2016, with the residential building completed in 2018. The project was conceived alongside a boutique hotel component connected to the area’s mid-century hospitality history.

The development included the restoration of the former Escape Hotel, a property dating to 1948, while the adjacent new condominium tower introduced the Gale Residences. This combination of restored architecture and newer residential construction reflects the broader evolution of Fort Lauderdale’s North Beach Village and Central Beach area.
