A rare opportunity to acquire a premier waterfront development site in the prestigious guard-gated community of Bay Colony. 71 Bay Colony Drive is ideally suited for a builder, investor, or end-user looking to create a custom luxury estate with a clear advantage. Architectural plans are almost fully approved, a new seawall is in place, and demolition permits are secured saving significant time, reducing carrying costs, and accelerating the path to construction. Positioned along a desirable stretch of waterfront with attractive views, this lot offers the perfect setting for a trophy-caliber residence. With limited inventory and strong demand for new construction, this is a compelling opportunity in one of Fort Lauderdale's most exclusive enclaves.
