A Boutique Bet on the Beach

Merrimac Ventures Brings Boutique Beachside Living to North Beach Village

Merrimac Ventures continues its legacy of shaping Fort Lauderdale’s most dynamic neighborhoods with Bungalow East, an exclusive luxury condominium with a collection of 34 residences in the heart of North Beach Village, a district the Motwani family has carefully transformed into one of the city’s most sought-after lifestyle destinations.

Located at 530 North Birch Road, just steps from the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway,  Bungalow East introduces a residential experience that feels both intimate and elevated. Contemporary architecture, light-filled interiors, and a curated selection of amenities come together to create a refined retreat that reflects the relaxed sophistication of its surroundings. The scale of the building was intentionally designed to complement the walkable character of the neighborhood, placing residents within moments of chef-driven restaurants, charming cafés, boutique hotels, and the vibrant energy that defines this coastal enclave.

For decades, the Motwani family has played a defining role in the evolution of North Beach Village, reimagining it into a lively and pedestrian-friendly destination known for its culinary scene, distinctive hospitality concepts, and unmistakable sense of place. Their vision has shaped a neighborhood that feels authentic yet polished, where the rhythm of beachside living meets a cosmopolitan social atmosphere.

 Bungalow East represents the next chapter in that story. Created in response to the growing desire for smaller-scale luxury near the shoreline, the project offers a rare opportunity to live in one of Fort Lauderdale’s most character-rich neighborhoods. It is a residence defined not only by design and location, but by a lifestyle that is effortlessly connected to the best of North Beach Village.

Residences are starting at $2 million.

 Bungalow East is designed by Swedroe Architecture with interiors imagined by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio. The luxury condominium is slated to break ground later this year.
