Welcome to

Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale: Venice of America

Fort Lauderdale, a City known for its warm sandy beaches, tropical climate and boaters’ paradise. More importantly, the word is out, Fort Lauderdale is booming. It’s become a city of choice for savvy investors and residents alike. Apparently people love the 3,000-plus hours of sunshine per year!

Once a secondary market to Miami, Fort Lauderdale’s beautiful seven miles of beach has become a seasonal and year round world-class destination. Fort Lauderdale Beach features an array of shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafes and entertainment venues. The area is home to the Las Olas Marina and Fort Lauderdale Aquatics Center, as well as numerous other special events. In addition the beach offers a wide range of activities including boating, wind surfing, jet skiing, volleyball, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing and rollerblading. And of course, seven miles of incredible warm, sun-soaked sand.

Step away from the beach and head down Las Olas Boulevard where you’ll find an fashion-forward thoroughfare to downtown, lined with boutiques and galleries, delectable restaurants, sidewalk eateries and progressive clubs. Continue through and you’ll find a booming, re-invented downtown surrounded by significant luxury development in both residential and hospitality – with more underway. 

Yes, Fort Lauderdale has been redefined as an international center for business, culture, leisure and recreation with a total of fifty built and approved projects. These modern towering developments include over seventeen-thousand residential units, nearly 2.9 million square-feet of commercial space with another 4.3 million square-feet of office space, and over twelve-hundred hotel rooms.

Another nine mixed use projects with strong residential and commercial square footage are currently seeking approval. These will surely provide the final touches on the city’s blueprint for creating an active urban center including housing, shopping, employment and entertainment opportunities. The city’s masterplan includes an emphasis on high quality architecture, improvements to streetscape design, and building relationships to each other and the public realm.

Fort Lauderdale is attracting new residents and businesses with its offering of an outstanding quality of life, rich in natural beauty and array of cultural, entertainment and educational amenities while supporting a diverse range of industries including marine, manufacturing, finance, insurance, real estate, technology, avionics/aerospace, film and television production. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

Neighborhoods are transforming as well. While many young professionals are settling into the new downtown apartment and condo developments, others are finding the suburban-like feel of the local neighborhoods perfect for their first home, all adding to some one-hundred and eighty-thousand residents already enjoying the City’s robust growth.

This influx of residents has brought about a wave of residential renovations transforming traditional snow-bird neighborhoods into new and vibrant communities. From north-to-south and east-to-west, covering just over thirty-six square miles, you’ll find  a mix  of vintage shops, innovative galleries, and quirky vibes mixed with mainstream brands and venues bordering neighborhoods from yacht friendly to artist-friendly. Which neighborhood is right for you? Give me a call and let’s talk about what makes a house, and a neighborhood, home to you.
