A 21-story luxury condo tower proposed south of Bahia Mar in Fort Lauderdale would rise to 240 feet, but needs special city approval to go beyond 120 feet.

If approved, the new tower would perch north of the 23-story Harbourage Place Condominium, replacing two-story buildings at 3043 and 3049 Harbor Drive built decades ago.

The neighborhood’s current zoning allows developers to build to 120 feet by right. To go higher, they can request a conditional use permit that allows them to build to a maximum of 240 feet.
