One North Birch is a planned boutique condominium development at 1 and 7 North Birch Road in Fort Lauderdale’s Central Beach area. Positioned just north of Las Olas Boulevard and along the Intracoastal side of the barrier island, the project combines a waterfront setting with convenient access to Fort Lauderdale Beach, restaurants, boating, and the activity surrounding the eastern end of Las Olas Boulevard.
Current plans call for a 13-story tower with only 21 residences, with approximately two homes per typical residential floor. The deliberately limited residence count gives the project a different character from many of the larger condominium and hotel developments along the beachfront. Buyers following One North Birch Homes for Sale can expect a contemporary building designed around expansive residences, outdoor living, and views of the surrounding waterways and coastal area.
About One North Birch
One North Birch is proposed by Las Olas Harbor Club, LLC on property within Fort Lauderdale’s Central Beach Regional Activity Center. The development is designed by Garcia Stromberg and is planned to rise approximately 163 to 164 feet at its highest point.
Plans show a contemporary glass tower influenced by mid-century modern design principles, with clean architectural lines, extensive glazing, and broad glass balconies that emphasize indoor-outdoor living. The proposed residences are notably spacious, with current plans indicating homes of approximately 4,000 square feet.
Parking is incorporated into the lower levels of the building rather than a separate garage structure. Unlike many mixed-use developments in Fort Lauderdale Beach, One North Birch is planned as a residential-focused property without ground-floor retail.
History of One North Birch
Planning for One North Birch has evolved over several years. Earlier plans for the site were submitted in 2020, when the property was already being considered for boutique residential redevelopment.
An important step occurred in 2022 when the City of Fort Lauderdale approved the vacation of a portion of Valencia Street adjacent to the site. Utility and access easements associated with that approval influenced the placement and configuration of the future tower.
Updated plans were submitted in 2025 under the One North Birch name. The revised proposal calls for a 13-story building containing 21 residences, substantially emphasizing low density compared with the number of units that could potentially be accommodated on the property.
One North Birch remains a proposed development. Final approvals, construction timing, pricing, sales availability, residence specifications, and completion dates should be confirmed as the project advances.
