Dawn for Harbor Beach

s the summer sun shines over Harbor Beach, a new
era is dawning at the iconic Pier Sixty-Six Resort. The
Acommunity is on the brink of witnessing the unveiling
of a grand transformation of the famed local resort. This
legendary and recently minted City landmark, a beacon of
luxury and relaxation, is poised to open its doors in phases,
starting late this Fall, inviting locals to rediscover its charm and
fresh 5-star elegance.
A Historic Milestone
In a proud moment for our community, the original tower
of Pier Sixty-Six has been officially designated as a historic
landmark by the City of Fort Lauderdale. This prestigious
recognition, which has been in the works since the property
was first acquired by Tavistock, was officially granted in May,
marking a significant milestone in the resort and marina's
storied history. The historical landmark status is a testament to
Pier’s cultural significance and enduring legacy as a symbol of
Fort Lauderdale's rich heritage.

Jessi Blakley, vice president of Tavistock and a Fort Lauderdale
native, expressed the significance of this designation, "It's
a rare occasion when a developer seeks a historical mark,
and while it wasn't an easy decision, it's one that fills us with
immense pride. This designation is not just about preserving
a landmark; it's about transforming an icon and creating a
legacy that will be cherished for generations to come."

After years of anticipation and a transformative construction
process, Pier Sixty-Six is thrilled to extend an invitation to its
neighbors in Harbor Beach to experience the resort's new
offerings, and bookings are now available on Piersixtysix. com
for those who want to be among the first to do so. The
unveiling will reveal not just a place of luxury and leisure but a
vibrant hub of dining, shopping and wellness.

Leadership at the Helm
At the heart of the revival of Pier Sixty-Six is a
team of visionary leaders, led by the newly
appointed Colm O'Callaghan, vice president
and managing director. With a wealth
of experience in luxury hospitality, Colm
and his team are dedicated to elevating
the Pier Sixty-Six experience, ensuring that
every guest's visit is nothing short of
remarkable. Colm has played
