The development firms tapped design studio Urban Robot Associates, known for redesigning The Boca Raton Beach Club, the 1 Hotel Beach Club, The Standard Residences and Pastis Wynwood.

“We are thrilled to start this significant renovation project,” said Diego Ardid, Co-President of Key International. “With our extensive track record of delivering and transforming premier beachfront properties along the Florida coast, this project is a testament to our commitment to providing our guests with the best accommodations and amenities. We’re excited to be part of Pompano Beach’s evolution, offering a design-forward space that meets the expectations of today’s travelers.”
