Pompano Beach, FL

 POMPANO BEACH, FL — U.S. Development opened its brand-new sales gallery for Salato Pompano Beach, its newest ultra-luxury development nestled along the city’s coastline. Prices begin at just under $2 million

 With 25% of the units under contract heading into peak season, activity is strong from local, domestic and international buyers as the start of construction looms.



Located at 3200 E. Atlantic Blvd., just a few blocks away from the project site, the sales gallery offers a chance to experience why buyers are attracted to Salato’s unmatched combination of privacy, amenities and lifestyle.


John Farina

“We are excited to unveil our sales gallery, which demonstrates how Salato offers something that truly does not exist in the marketplace,” said John Farina, CEO of U.S. Development.

 

“Luxury buyers want an alternative to a standard high-rise building with too much density. Salato is addressing that desire with its 40 private residences and expansive oversized terraces in a building with amenities that are superior to its much larger counterparts, and the best location in Pompano Beach.”

 

Set to rise just across from Pompano Beach’s pristine oceanfront at 305 Briny Ave. – and steps from the Pompano Pier, Salato’s 40 residences include six spectacular penthouses, all designed by Randall Stofft Architects with Interiors by Steven G. 

 

Features include floor-to-ceiling windows that provide gorgeous views of the Atlantic Ocean, direct beach access, and an open-air, covered amenity level that spans over 20,000 square feet and is designed to feel like a world-class luxury resort.


Dustin Salzano

“Luxury buyers have been clamoring for a boutique product on the beach with a single-family feel,” said Dustin Salzano, CFO of U.S. Development.

 

“From West Broward County homeowners seeking a lifestyle change to residents of the Northeast U.S. and Canada, Salato is accommodating that demand. Opening our brand-new sales gallery so close to the project site will only intensify interest.”

 

Individual residences at Salato range from 2,106 to 3,354 square feet and feature open floorplans with extra wide living spaces and  14-foot-deep terraces that range from 320 to 746 square feet (ample room to host open-air gatherings.

 

Salato’s amenities are on par with those found in five-star resorts.
