Moss, a national construction firm, joined G. Holdings and Marriott International to break ground on The Dunes Fort Lauderdale, an Autograph Collection Hotel. The new upscale hotel is set to mark the first Autograph Collection property in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
The property is being developed by GraniteFL LLC, a member of the G. Holdings Group, with Moss serving as construction manager. The 16-story, approximately 206,000-sq.-ft. hotel—estimated at more than $175 million—will feature 205 guestrooms, an ocean-facing restaurant, a mezzanine-level event venue, a third-floor pool and bar deck and a rooftop bar and dining venue.
“The Dunes Fort Lauderdale represents a long-held vision for Fort Lauderdale Beach,” said Harry Gross, founder/CEO, G. Holdings. “We’re proud to work with Marriott and Moss to bring to life this distinctive destination—a place for locals and global travelers to gather, recharge and enjoy the vibrancy of the neighborhood.”
Designed by FSMY Architects & Planners, the hotel blends contemporary form with coastal inspiration, using natural materials and clean lines to reflect its setting. Interiors by Studio Munge will feature textural layers, warm tones and locally resonant details.
“We are excited to welcome The Dunes Fort Lauderdale to the Autograph Collection portfolio,” said Liam Brown, group president, U.S. & Canada, Marriott International. “The Dunes Fort Lauderdale reflects the distinctive style, purposeful design and sense of place that defines this brand. This project brings a meaningful new addition to our Florida offerings—and one that we anticipate will be an important first for Fort Lauderdale.”
The groundbreaking ceremony brought together local officials, civic leaders, project partners and the design team to celebrate a development that is set to contribute lasting value to Fort Lauderdale Beach.
“This project reflects everything Moss values—collaboration, community and excellence,” said Brett Atkinson, president, Moss. “We’re honored to work alongside G. Holdings, Marriott and the talented design and engineering team to shape a new chapter in Fort Lauderdale’s architectural story.”
