Key Takeaways
- Andare Residences is Pininfarina's first standalone residential tower in North America — bringing the design language behind Ferrari, Maserati, and Aston Martin to a Fort Lauderdale waterfront address.
- Located on Las Olas Boulevard with direct New River frontage, Andare slots into the gap between Miami's ultra-luxury saturation and Palm Beach's old-money formality — a fresh play for sophisticated branded-residence buyers.
- Pre-construction pricing from the $1.4M range positions this materially below comparable Miami branded product (Bentley, Pagani, Aston Martin) while delivering Italian design credentials of the same caliber.
If you've been watching the branded-residence wave roll across South Florida — Bentley Residences, Pagani Residences, Aston Martin Residences, Mercedes-Benz Places — you know the playbook. A heritage automotive or luxury brand licenses its name to a high-end developer, the building wraps itself in the brand's design DNA, and buyers who love the brand pay a premium to live inside it.
What's different about Andare Residences by Pininfarina is that this isn't a licensing deal. Pininfarina is actually designing the building. The Italian studio that has shaped Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Cadillac, and a generation of yachts and aircraft is putting its hands directly on the architecture, the interiors, and the amenities. And they've chosen Fort Lauderdale's Las Olas Boulevard as the address.
Here's why this matters, and why I'm watching this project carefully for the right type of client.
The Project at a Glance
Andare Residences rises on Las Olas Boulevard with direct frontage to the New River — the waterway that runs through Fort Lauderdale and connects directly to the Intracoastal and the Atlantic. The tower delivers approximately 90 residences across 25 stories — boutique by South Florida standards, which is part of the value proposition.
Unit mix is intentionally narrow and aspirational:
- Two-bedroom residences starting around 1,700 square feet
- Three-bedroom residences from 2,400 square feet
- Penthouse collection with private rooftop terraces from 3,800 square feet
Pre-construction pricing begins in the $1.4M range for two-bedroom residences, with three-bedrooms positioned in the $2.5M–$4M range and penthouses approaching $10M.
For context: Bentley Residences Sunny Isles starts above $4M. Pagani Residences in North Bay Village starts above $1.5M for the smallest units. Aston Martin Residences in downtown Miami starts above $2M. Andare is priced as the most accessible of the major branded-design buildings now selling in South Florida — while delivering arguably the most legitimate design pedigree.
Why Pininfarina Is Different From the Other Branded Plays
Pininfarina is the design house. They're not a hospitality brand renting their name to a hotel-condo. They're not a fashion house extending into homewares. They are the people whose drawings became the Ferrari 250 GTO, the Cisitalia 202 (now in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection), the Maserati Birdcage, and roughly half the most beautiful Italian cars of the last 70 years.
When Pininfarina designs a building, you get:
- Architectural language driven by sculptural curves and aerodynamic refinement
- Interior detailing that treats materials, light, and proportion the way they treat the dashboard of a $400K coupe
- Amenity spaces designed as experiential journeys, not amenity-list checkboxes
- A residual value proposition where the brand association is genuinely defensible because the brand actually shaped the asset
For sophisticated buyers who roll their eyes at branded residences that feel like marketing exercises, this is the version that actually delivers.
The Location: Las Olas, the New River, and the Fort Lauderdale Bet
Fort Lauderdale has been the quiet winner of the Miami spillover story for the last three years. As Brickell saturated, as Miami Beach got crowded, and as international buyers started looking for value, Fort Lauderdale's combination of yacht-friendly waterfront, walkable downtown Las Olas, and 30% lower price-per-foot for comparable luxury became increasingly visible.
Andare's location on Las Olas with direct New River frontage gives owners:
- Private deepwater dockage potential (subject to building configuration)
- 3-minute walk to Las Olas Boulevard's restaurants, galleries, and luxury retail
- 10-minute drive to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
- 25-minute drive to Aventura, 40-minute drive to Brickell
- Direct boat access to the Intracoastal and Port Everglades
For the South Florida buyer who wants Miami-tier luxury but doesn't want Brickell traffic, Andare is one of the more compelling answers being built right now. As I covered in "Viceroy Residences Fort Lauderdale," the city is establishing a luxury submarket that's no longer a value-play afterthought — it's a destination.
Amenities: The Pininfarina Experience
Pininfarina has confirmed that amenities at Andare will follow their design philosophy of "purposeful luxury" — meaning the amenity program is curated rather than maximal. Expected features include:
- Pininfarina-designed lobby and porte-cochère
- Resident-only club lounge with curated mid-century Italian furnishings
- Rooftop pool and sundeck with cabanas overlooking the New River
- State-of-the-art fitness center with private training studios
- Wine room and tasting lounge
- Pininfarina-curated automotive display lobby (a signature element across their architectural projects)
- 24/7 concierge, valet, and private chauffeur service options
- Boat dockage program for residents
The automotive display lobby is the most interesting design move — a permanent rotating exhibition of significant cars Pininfarina has designed, displayed in the building's main public space. It's not a gimmick. It's a brand statement that anchors why owners are paying for the Pininfarina name.
Investment Analysis for Miami and South Florida Buyers
For Miami buyers considering Andare as a primary or part-time residence, the value proposition versus comparable Miami branded product is real:
- Roughly 25-35% lower price-per-foot than comparable Miami-side branded residences
- Direct New River frontage (deepwater) is something Brickell can't offer at this price tier
- Pininfarina design pedigree comparable to or exceeding the most-cited branded buildings in Miami
For investor buyers, Fort Lauderdale's rental market for branded luxury furnished product is currently underserved. Furnished 2-bedroom rentals in comparable downtown Fort Lauderdale buildings are achieving $7,500–$10,000/month. With Andare's design credibility, that range likely extends meaningfully higher.
For international buyers — particularly Italian, Brazilian, and European — the Pininfarina brand resonates in ways that hospitality-branded product doesn't. The buyer pool here is genuinely global from day one.
As I covered in "Bentley Residences Sunny Isles," the most defensible branded buildings are those where the brand association is structural to the asset itself, not bolted on as marketing. Andare clears that bar.
How to Buy: The Pre-Construction Path
Pre-construction deposit structure at Andare follows a relatively standard South Florida luxury cadence:
- 20% at contract signing
- 20% at groundbreaking
- 10% at structural milestone (top-off)
- 50% at closing/delivery
Expected delivery timeline is approximately 28–32 months from contract execution, putting projected occupancy in late 2028 to early 2029.
If you're new to pre-construction at this level, my framework "How to Buy Pre-Construction in Miami: The 2026 Deposit Schedule, Timeline, and Risk Playbook Every Buyer Needs" applies cleanly to Fort Lauderdale projects of this caliber.
