Project Overview
499 Ocean Boulevard LLC, a development by Alan Waserstein and Mark Dubrow, is in the design and approval phase of a four-unit townhouse development project located on Ocean Boulevard (A1A) in Pompano Beach, Florida. The property sits directly across from the City of Pompano’s oceanfront park which offers direct access to the beach and clear and unobstructed views of the beautiful ocean and sandy beach. 499 North Ocean is within a short walking distance to the new and regentrified Pompano Beach Pier and Beachfront. This area includes restaurants, shops, hotels as well as public access to the Pompano beaches. The site is five blocks north of Atlantic Boulevard where there are additional restaurants and shops. Direct access to US1 , I95 and the Turnpike is a short distance, downtown Boca Raton is 15 minutes and Delray Beach is a 30 minute drive.
Pompano has been experiencing a real estate boom. Demand and prices have rapidly increased, especially for Oceanfront properties. The Related Solemar project, just north of 499 Ocean, sold out during the pre-construction phase. The Ritz Residence project, located to the south of 499 Ocean is in the presale phase with unit sizes ranging up to 7,000 square feet and prices over $2,500 per square foot.
Each unit will be three stories with finished roof terraces, decks and private elevators. All units will have a two-car garage, private pool and private yard, high level luxurious finishes, amenities, and appliance packages. Full height hurricane impact windows and doors, security, and technology features as well as comfort and peace of mind features expected in an elegant high-end luxury home.

Minor site plans approvals are processed administratively through the Design Review Committee (“DRC”), a public hearing is not required. The DRC is composed of administrative staff and consultants, the project team has met with members of the committee as well as other Planning and Zoning staff members to review the proposed plan. The site plan and design is being refined to incorporate the comments from city staff as well as marketing considerations. The team anticipates submitting plans for the site plan approval on February 10th for a March 16th DRC meeting.
