Sage Intracoastal Fort Lauderdale: Construction Timeline for the Intracoastal Waterfront Tower

Sage Intracoastal Fort Lauderdale is a boutique condominium tower at 900 Intracoastal Drive, on the Intracoastal Waterway. The developer is Property Markets Group, known as PMG. The project's official website describes it as now under construction, with a sales gallery open. PMG's own portfolio page lists the same address and shows the project in active sales.

Florida YIMBY, in a June 3, 2026 report by Oscar Nunez, described a 28-story waterfront tower designed by FSMY Architects, with the foundation pour completed and the project moving toward vertical construction. The same outlet reported in November 2025 that the tower would sit along about 200 linear feet of Intracoastal frontage and hold 44 residences, with only two homes per floor.

For a buyer comparing waterfront towers, the useful question is not only what is planned but what has physically happened on the site, and when. The sections below follow the project in order, from groundbreaking to foundation to the reported delivery target, and keep each milestone tied to the outlet that reported it and the date of that report.

South Florida Agent Magazine reported on November 20, 2025 that PMG had broken ground on the 28-story Sage Intracoastal Residences Fort Lauderdale tower. That report marks the public start of construction for the development.

Florida YIMBY covered the same milestone in November 2025. Its article said the tower would be designed by Fort Lauderdale-based FSMY Architects, with interiors by BAMO, and developed by PMG. The article also quoted PMG Managing Partner Ryan Shear at the groundbreaking, describing the project as one he was proud to break ground on in Fort Lauderdale.

The groundbreaking coverage is also where the design intent was set out. Florida YIMBY reported in November 2025 that residences would begin at 2,767 square feet, with three and four bedroom layouts, ten-foot ceilings, impact-resistant floor-to-ceiling glazing and large private terraces with summer kitchens. It said a Penthouse Collection would add taller ceilings and private rooftop spaces with summer kitchens and plunge pools. These are design descriptions from the announcement stage, not a record of completed work.

The most concrete construction milestone reported so far is the foundation pour. Florida YIMBY reported on June 3, 2026 that the pour took place on May 18 and lasted approximately 10 hours, beginning at 8 a.m. and concluding at 6 p.m. The outlet said the milestone advanced the project toward vertical construction, with crews expected to begin forming the tower above grade.

The June 2026 article was illustrated with aerial photography credited to World Red Eye. Florida YIMBY described what those images show: dense rebar mats, formwork, vertical column reinforcement, concrete pump trucks and the site's tower crane, followed by sections of the foundation being placed and finished. For a tower on a waterfront lot, that sequence is a sign that below-grade and foundation work have reached a defined stage.

A foundation pour is an early structural step, not a sign that a building is near completion. Florida YIMBY's own wording frames it as the point where construction is expected to become more visible as the tower rises. Readers following the project should watch for later reports of floors rising above grade rather than treating the pour as a finish-line signal.

The delivery target most consistently attached to Sage Intracoastal Fort Lauderdale is late 2027. Florida YIMBY reported that target in its November 2025 groundbreaking article, saying completion was expected in late 2027. In its June 3, 2026 report on the foundation pour, the same outlet said completion was slated for late 2027.

That is a developer-side target as relayed by a news outlet, not a guaranteed date. Construction schedules for high-rise towers can shift, and the date that governs a buyer's rights and obligations is the one stated in the purchase contract. A buyer should ask the PMG sales team to confirm in writing what completion date the contract will carry, and what the contract says about any extension of that date.

No topping-off or substantial-completion milestone appears in the dated reports reviewed here. When one is announced, it will be the first reliable signal on whether the late 2027 target is holding. Until then, the foundation pour of May 18, 2026 remains the latest construction event reported by a named outlet.

Florida YIMBY reported in June 2026 that the site has approximately 200 linear feet of waterfront frontage, with views partially protected by the neighboring Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. In its November 2025 article, the outlet wrote that the homes would be oriented for unobstructed views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, protected in perpetuity by the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens.

Those two descriptions use different wording, partial protection in one and protection in perpetuity in the other, and a buyer who cares about a specific view corridor should ask the developer how it applies to a particular floor and exposure. The official project website positions the tower on Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal waterways and describes a nautically inspired, boutique-style residence concept.

The practical lesson for waterfront buyers is that a view claim is best checked against the actual unit line, floor height and orientation. Because the building is still rising, the sales team can show the architectural plans and the current site conditions, and a visit to the gallery by appointment or during open hours is the most direct way to compare the plans with the Intracoastal frontage.

The team named across Florida YIMBY's November 2025 and June 2026 reports is PMG as developer, FSMY Architects as architect, BAMO for interiors and John Moriarty and Associates as general contractor. PMG's portfolio page lists the property as new residential construction with 28 floors, and the developer's site presents the building as a boutique collection rather than a large-scale tower.

Florida YIMBY reported in June 2026 that the finished building would contain 44 condominium residences overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. With a collection that small, individual floor plans and floors carry real differences, and the sales team is the right place to confirm which residences remain available and how each is positioned on the site.

To track progress, a buyer can watch for dated reports from news outlets, ask the developer for recent construction photographs, and request the contract's stated delivery date and its provisions for delays. Denis Smykalov and the Wolsen Waterfront team can help buyers organize those questions and compare Sage Intracoastal with other Intracoastal and oceanfront options in Broward County.
