The Lauderdale Marine Center (the LMC), founded in 1997, has been a key player in Fort Lauderdale becoming the Yachting Capital of the World. Safe Harbor Marinas bought the 60-acre boatyard in 2021, which is now called Safe Harbor Lauderdale Marine Center.

Holland Engineering ensured the execution of both Civil Design Engineering services and Engineering Certifications for various projects at Safe Harbor Lauderdale Marine Center.

Safe Harbor Lauderdale Marine Center is currently the biggest yacht repair facility in the U.S. Having created a global reputation for themselves, Safe Harbor Marinas are world leaders of luxury shipyards, marinas and premier superyacht service facilities. The Safe Harbor franchise is known for its world-class amenities & personalized care for captains, crews and owners of the most distinguished superyachts.

They have been major players in the development of the leisure industry in Fort Lauderdale, now the world’s foremost destination for yachts and yacht servicing.

Our Civil Engineering team oversaw the construction of a Crew Amenities Area, which provided a fitness center, pool, and outdoor exercise areas, as well as a security entrance and security office. We worked closely with City officials during the design and permitting process of the project, along with Architects, lighting and landscape designers, construction teams and our client.

Additionally, our engineering team completed the property’s multiple license renewals for their 5-year Stormwater Certifications.
