I walked past the Conrad this morning. The windows are covered, so it's hard to tell how close they are to opening.
Unfortunately, there is a huge construction site directly south of the Conrad. There is a Four Seasons Hotel and Residences being built, which means that roughly half the rooms at the Conrad will have a view of construction for the foreseeable future.
This is an aerial image courtesy of Bing Maps. The Conrad is the high-rise on the right. The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort is the high-rise on the left. All the low-rise building between are now gone and the entire block is fenced off.
