Icon Beach Hollywood: Oceanfront Residences, Floor Plans and Water-View Layouts

Icon Beach Hollywood, marketed as Icon Beach Residences and Icon Beach Waterfront Residences, rises at 3724 S. Ocean Drive in Hollywood, along the barrier island's A1A corridor. The developer's website describes the project as set along Hollywood's shoreline, with views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. That pairing shapes every layout decision in the tower. Some residences face the open ocean, others look toward the Intracoastal, and the best choice depends on whether a buyer wants surf and horizon or boats, sunsets and a calmer outlook.

The location is Hollywood Beach, close to the Hallandale Beach line to the south. The Sun Sentinel reported in June 2026 that the tower sits within the Diplomat's Planned Development, which was established decades ago and is not subject to the same height restrictions as elsewhere on the barrier island, according to a city representative quoted by the newspaper. The paper also described the project as activating the Intracoastal side of A1A near the Diplomat resort and convention center. For buyers comparing lines, the practical point is that this is a tall, slender-in-profile tower where elevation does much of the work in the view.

The Sun Sentinel reported in June 2026 that Icon Beach will have 350 residences, with one- to three-bedroom condominiums ranging from 948 to 2,580 square feet. That is a wide span, and it effectively describes three buyer categories: compact one-bedroom homes used as pied-à-terres, two-bedroom residences that suit a seasonal or primary home, and larger three-bedroom lines with the most generous living and terrace space.

The developer's floor plans page presents the tower as a set of ten residence lines, numbered 01 through 10, and each line repeats up the building. That structure matters more than the unit count. In a tower organized by lines, the line number tells you the exposure, the bedroom count and the relationship of the balcony to the living room. Two residences with the same bedroom count on different lines can have very different water views. When you review a plan sheet, read the line number alongside the floor, and ask the sales team which direction the main living area and the primary suite face.

Interiors are by Meyer Davis, and the developer's site describes them as fresh and minimal, with coastal tones and organic textures, plus custom Italian kitchens. Those features are common across lines. What changes between lines is the glass, the outdoor space and the sightline, which is the subject of the rest of this guide.

The developer's website lists expansive balconies among the project's signature features and shows a living room and water views as part of the residence story. In an oceanfront tower, the balcony is effectively a second living room, and its depth, width and orientation determine how often it gets used. A deep balcony facing the Atlantic tends to read as an outdoor lounge, while a narrower one is better for morning coffee.

The plan sheets for each line give interior area and balcony area, so compare them separately rather than relying on a single total. A residence with modest interior space and a large terrace lives differently from one that reverses those proportions. Also look at whether the balcony is reached from the living room only, or also from the primary suite, since that determines whether the water is part of the bedroom as well as the main living space. These are questions to answer from the current plan sheet for the specific line, not from a general brochure.

A tower with ocean and Intracoastal frontage offers two kinds of water view, and corner positions are where the two can meet. A corner residence can pick up a second exposure, which typically means more glass and a view that changes through the day. The developer's published materials do not single out particular lines as corner residences, so the right approach is to read each plan sheet and the floor plate diagram to see which lines wrap two sides of the building.

Buyers weighing the Intracoastal side should note the marina. The Sun Sentinel reported in June 2026 that residents will have access to a 32-slip private marina. A residence that looks toward the Intracoastal Waterway puts boats, docks and the channel in the foreground, which suits owners who plan to use the marina and want to see it from home. Ask the sales team how slips will be assigned, what size vessels they accommodate and whether use carries costs outside the standard association assessments.

In a 38-story tower, which BH Group's project page describes as the building's height, floor level is the other major lever on the view. Higher floors clear neighboring rooflines and extend the sightline over the beach and out to sea. At the top of the tower, the largest residences are where buyers should expect the most terrace area and the broadest water exposure. The Sun Sentinel put the largest residence size at 2,580 square feet and the top of the price range at $2.8 million in its June 2026 report, and the developer has not, in the published materials reviewed here, labeled specific units as penthouses.

If penthouse-level living is the goal, ask three questions. Which lines occupy the top floors, and are any combined or modified from the standard plans? How do ceiling heights and terrace dimensions on those floors differ from the typical floor? And which direction does the main living space face? Treat renderings with care: the developer's site labels its images as artist's conceptual renderings, so confirm views from the plan sheet and the site orientation rather than from a picture.

Icon Beach is the first phase of a two-part project. The Sun Sentinel reported in June 2026 that a second phase, approved by the city commission, calls for a 42-story condo-hotel tower with 500 units north of Icon Beach, at 3451 to 3690 S. Ocean Drive. Buyers who care about a northern exposure should ask the developer how that future tower is positioned relative to each line, and which sightlines are most likely to be affected. That is a site-plan question the sales team can answer with drawings.

The amenity package is also oriented toward the water. The developer's site shows a pool deck, an expansive pool, a club lounge, a fitness center, a spa, a library and a concierge. The Sun Sentinel described an exclusive beach club, a health club and a spa and wellness center. Because beach club arrangements can differ from what marketing suggests, ask where the club is located, who operates it and whether access is included in association assessments or billed separately.

The Sun Sentinel reported in June 2026 that the project broke ground in mid-June and that move-ins are expected by the end of 2028, according to Eric Fordin of Related Group. Related Group and BH Group are the development partners, with CFE Architects as architect and Witkin Hults + Partners as landscape architect, according to the project's published information. The newspaper put the cost of the project at $700 million. Because this is a pre-completion purchase, the plan sheet, the contract exhibits and the current price list are the documents that govern, and they can change.

A sensible way to choose is to rank priorities. Decide first between ocean and Intracoastal. Then set a floor range, a minimum balcony depth and a bedroom count, and compare the lines that meet those criteria.
