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. 

“We’re proud to work with Marriott and Moss to bring to life this distinctive destination - a place for locals and global travellers to gather, recharge, and enjoy the vibrancy of the neighbourhood.” 

Designed by FSMY Architects & Planners, the hotel will be a blend of contemporary style with coastal influences, utilising natural materials and clean lines to suit its surroundings. 

Studio Munge’s interior design aims to include textural details, warm colours, and features to enhance the guest experience. 

Local officials, civic leaders, project partners, and the design team have attended the ground-breaking ceremony. 

Moss president Brett Atkinson stated: “This project reflects everything Moss values - collaboration, community, and excellence. 

“We’re honoured to work alongside G. Holdings, Marriott, and the talented design and engineering team to shape a new chapter in Fort Lauderdale’s architectural story.”
