New Condo Ft Lauderdale

A new condo has been proposed to the Planning and Zoning Board of Ft Lauderdale, in the area just North of Sunrise Blvd along Federal Hwy.    The site, located at 1055 N. Federal Hwy. Fort Lauderdale, FL, is being proposed by Johnson Development Corp.  The proposed mixed-use project will consist of 205 residential above ground floor retail.  The almost 9 story building sits across from another recently announced residential project, Riva Fort Lauderdale. Views from the project will be limited due to the Riva condo as well as East Point Towers which will block any East views.  The location is well located close to Ft Lauderdale Beach, Downtown Fort Lauderdale as well as to the airport.

Las Olas Blvd Cross walk

The newly installed illuminescent crosswalk at the intersection of Las Olas Blvd & NE 13th Ave is aimed at reducing vehicles speed on  Las Olas.  Steps aimed at curbing the traffic speed have failed and local residents are hoping this next stategy works.  The speed is readily noticed along Las Olas Blvd from NE 11th Ave to NE 15th Ave.  It is often difficult crossing the street between these Avenues as cars are speeding by.  The lighted crosswalk as well as a new "parklet" are both attempts to reduce speeds and improve safety.  Let's hope this works; taxpayers are on the hook for approximately $50,000.

Construction in Fort Lauderdale

You don't need to be an economist to understand that our local real estate market is changing.  All you need to do is look up at the influx of cranes that take up the Fort Lauderdale skyline. Albeit, the end product that stem from these cranes are mostly luxury rental apartments but in any case, its a start.  Well positioned locations are the first to come out of the ground although there are sites on Sunrise Blvd that have gone vertical.  The Related Group is in the planning stages of their second phase of New River Yacht Club.  The first phase of New River Yacht Club has recently been "topped off" and occupancy is scheduled for later this year.  Both projects are well positioned locations in Fort Lauderdale, directly on the New River and across from Downtown Fort Lauderdale.  The site is close to Las Olas Blvd and a few miles West of Fort Lauderdale Beach.
