How Selene Stacks Up: The Luxury Comparison
In a market defined by high standards, Selene enters a prestigious lineup. Here is how it compares to other iconic buildings within a half-mile radius:
| Building | Status | Character | Price Point Strategy |
| Selene Oceanfront Residences | Newly Completed, End of 2025 | Modern, Tallest on Beach | Cutting-edge design; current “new construction” premium. |
| Paramount | Built 2017 | Ultra Private Bordering Historic Parks | Full service luxury at a more accessible $/SF than branded competition. |
| Auberge Residences | Built 2018 | Ultra-Luxury Boutique with Branded Hospitality | Dominates the segment with a high price per sqft average; features on-site Michelin-level dining and spa. Directly on the sand |
| St. Regis Bahia Mar | Pre-construction | Branded Mega-Resort, Dubbed the ‘Mini Monaco’ | Massive 40-acre site; estimated delivery 2029; focuses on “nautically-minded” buyers with a mega-yacht marina. |
| Pier Sixty-Six | Completed Mid 2025 | Famous Mid-Century Modern Resort Redeveloped with New Condos | Multiple onsite restaurants, Marina based property without designated beach access |
The Verdict: While Paramount offers an easier price per sqft of entry and Auberge remains the gold standard for quiet, ultra-private luxury, Selene is the current champion for buyers who want the absolute newest product on the beach, and the closer proximity to Fort Lauderdale’s downtown.
