‘It’s a wow’: $370 million luxury mixed-use project coming to Hallandale Beach
Oasis Hallandale, a $370 million luxury development on the rise near Gulfstream Park, will have a contemporary “live, work, play” vibe that has not been seen in Hallandale Beach until now.
The town’s first major mixed-use destination, Oasis calls for 25-story twin condo towers surrounded by trendy restaurants, upscale shops, a gourmet kosher food market, a high-profile art gallery and 35,000 square feet of office space. The pedestrian-friendly city center, already under construction, sprawls across 10 acres.
The project is truly unlike anything else in the area, where residents can step out of their condos and find whatever they need only a few steps from home, said Steve Geller, a county commissioner and zoning attorney for local developer Giuseppe Iadisernia.
“There’s all of these restaurants and bars and shopping within walking distance,” Geller said. “You won’t need to get in your car and drive for miles. It’s an oasis of style with fountains and waterfalls and tons of green space. And it will have gorgeous views of Gulfstream.”
Oasis has seven buildings in all, five commercial buildings and two residential towers perched along the 1000 block of bustling Hallandale Beach Boulevard just east of Gulfstream Park’s popular racetrack/casino and shopping village.
The condos, 500 in all, are expected to sell for anywhere from $675,000 to $4.4 million.
Condo units will have one to three bedrooms starting at 900 square feet all the way to 4,750 square feet. The penthouse units are a roomy two stories, with views of the beach. Wrap-around glass balconies and floor-to-ceiling glass will offer unobstructed views.
The west tower, already under construction, should open in 2025. The developer plans to break ground on the east tower in 2024 and finish by 2026.
The west tower is already 69% sold, says Norma Campos, sales director for Oasis.
Buyers are coming from California, New York, Chicago and Canada as well as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.
“There’s been an uptick of buyers from Latin America,” Campos said. “Some are interested in being near where (soccer superstar) Leo Messi is playing. They’ve had people come to the sales gallery with Inter Miami jerseys on. One buyer was so happy it was close to the stadium.”
The commercial component of the Oasis project broke ground in 2021 and should be fully operational next year. Oasis Fit and Oasis Dental are already open.
“Oasis Hallandale will offer residents a sanctuary that will define luxury living in Hallandale Beach,” Iadisernia said. “The Arquitectonica-designed urban oasis’ condominium towers feature elegant lobbies, pool decks with posh cabanas, cooled lounges and other amenities that are unparalleled in the marketplace. One of the most stunning is the six-level waterfall at the entrance.”
The condo towers will be connected by an elevated amenity deck on the sixth floor overlooking Gulfstream Park. The deck will have two large pools, a hot tub spa, cabanas, barbecue and fire pit areas, a fitness and wellness center, a yoga lawn, outdoor movie theater, lounge area, and children’s playground and splash pad.
New boulevards lined by shops and restaurants will lead to the project’s east and west towers. The new boulevards will culminate in a breezeway with a six-story waterfall serving as a porte-cochere for residents and visitors.
Mayor Joy Cooper says Oasis is the first development of its kind in Hallandale Beach.
“We have almost 40,000 residents in 4.4 square miles,” she said. And more are coming, she says.
“People from New York and California are moving here,” Cooper said. “People who’ve lived here in Florida for years are having sticker shock because it’s so expensive. But people who are used to the markets in New York and California where real estate is already priced so high are finding the value.”
Cooper says the project has already won recognition for its award-winning design.
“It’s a wow,” she said of the project. “It has curb appeal. It evolves into this beautiful state-of-the-art development with twin towers that have real skyline views overlooking the horse track and the ocean. The views are quite dramatic. Even facing north they can look all the way up to Fort Lauderdale.”
The developer was born in Italy but later moved to Venezuela. He then headed for the U.S., settling in Hallandale Beach 20 years ago.
“He could have built this a lot cheaper, but it’s an Arquitectonica building,” Geller said. “He could have built a plain rectangular box much cheaper, but that’s not what he wanted to do. He wanted to build a really attractive landmark building. He wanted to show his kids, ‘Look, I built that pretty building.’”
