ODA's 'ombelle' tower to bring luxury homes to fort lauderdale

Brooklyn-based architecture studio ODA has revealed its latest project, Ombelle, set to rise in Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village. This 43-story tower will introduce 775 luxury residences alongside over 100,000 square feet of curated indoor and outdoor amenities, redefining urban living in this dynamic neighborhood.

Developed by Dependable Equities, Ombelle marks a significant addition to Fort Lauderdale’s residential landscape. Located at 300 NE 3rd Avenue, the building integrates 11,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space with its expansive residential offerings, all designed to support a holistic and active lifestyle. ‘Ombelle Fort Lauderdale’s expertly designed residences and extensive amenity offerings go far beyond traditional expectations,’ said Isaac Schlesinger, Principal at Dependable Equities. The developer’s focus on delivering high-quality finishes at an accessible price point aims to set new standards in the South Florida real estate market.

ODA’s design for Ombelle will introduce to Fort Lauderdale a variety of living spaces, from studios to three-bedroom units ranging from 465 to over 1,400 square feet, along with luxury penthouses up to 2,600 square feet. Each residence includes state-of-the-art smart building technology, custom-designed Italian kitchens and bathrooms, and interiors defined by open-concept layouts and 10-foot ceilings. The option for fully furnished units adds an additional layer of convenience and exclusivity. ‘Every moment in the building offers an experience, inspires a sense of community, and establishes a strong connection to the city and nature,’ noted Eran Chen, AIA, ODA’s founder and executive director.

The architects at ODA worked closely with Dependable Equities, a Brooklyn-based real estate investment firm founded by Isaac Schlesinger and Simon Dushinsky of the Rabsky Group. Their current projects under construction exceed 2 million square feet. ‘By leveraging our in-house construction team, we gain a competitive edge without compromising quality, resulting in enhanced value for our buyers,’ explained Simon Dushinsky, emphasizing the benefits of the firm’s vertically integrated model.

ODA will infuse its Ombelle development in Fort Lauderdale with an array of amenity spaces. Upon entering the building, residents will be greeted by a 15,000-square-foot lobby that features a cultural garden and multiple lounges, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The ninth floor of the building will be dedicated to wellness and lifestyle amenities curated by Arch Amenities. These include a chef’s kitchen, dining areas, a co-working suite, a library, music and recording studios, and even two indoor pickleball courts on the garage level.

The South Tower complements this offering with a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga and Pilates studios, treatment rooms, and a wellness lounge with outdoor features like a Zen Garden. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style lap pool, plunge pool, and cabana seating. ‘Ombelle brings a caliber of design and amenities unlike anything else on the market in Downtown Fort Lauderdale today,’ said Jay Phillip Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Florida Region.
