Moss, a US-based construction company, has partnered with G. Holdings and Marriott International to commence construction of The Dunes Fort Lauderdale, an Autograph Collection Hotel, in Florida. 

This project aims to be the first Autograph Collection-branded property in Fort Lauderdale, and is strategically located at A1A at 441 South Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard. 

The hotel is being developed by GraniteFL, a part of the G. Holdings Group, with Moss appointed as the construction manager. 

The 16-storey hotel, spanning approximately 206,000ft², is estimated at over $175m, and will offer 205 guest rooms.  

Amenities at the hotel will include an ocean-facing restaurant, a mezzanine-level event venue, a pool and bar deck on the third floor, and a rooftop bar and dining space offering panoramic views. 

G. Holdings founder and CEO Harry Gross said: “The Dunes Fort Lauderdale represents a long-held vision for Fort Lauderdale Beach.
