Three hundred miles of lagoons, rivers, and Intracoastal waterways have contributed to Fort Lauderdale's famous title - "America's Venice." As a result, the Fort Lauderdale Downtown (FLD) landscape merging with the Atlantic coastline is uniquely one of stunningly beautiful peninsulas, bay colonies, marina communities, isles off main thoroughfares, towers on river walks, and row after row of beachfront residences. 

Moreover, it represents fertile ground for new projects, which emerge every year, taking advantage of the city's natural gifts as described above. Accordingly, construction company Premier Developers and architect collaborators Falkanger Snyder Martineau & Yates applied their savvy and feel for the high-end multifamily (MF) home market to select a location with all the essential ingredients to deliver a super-luxury lifestyle.

Indeed, their 16-story 100-residence project emerged in 2018 just north of Sunrise Boulevard off Federal Highway on the west side of The Middle River with 400 linear feet of waterfront. Condos for sale in Riva Residences emerged from:

• Ninety units (across ten models) -1,404 to 4,032 square feet under air (UA) + two to three bedrooms - covering floors five to fourteen
• Ten penthouse units (double-story configurations) - 5,000 to over 7,000 square + multiple bedrooms - designed around eight floor plans. 

Delivered and priced as decorator ready, the condo owners outdid themselves in modeling the interiors with the latest quartz, marble, granite, stone, space-age-metal, solid & engineered wood materials. MLS listings reflect the latter as defining features in gourmet kitchens, open-plan living spaces, and spa bathrooms. In addition, the wide-plank or Avant Garde porcelain flooring set the tone in conjunction with:

• 9' and 10' ceiling heights.
• Wall-to-wall high-impact tinted glass sliders.
• Designer recessed lighting, floating vanities & seamless glass showers.
• Italian-influenced sleek cabinetry
• Undermount sinks with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Thermador premium appliances.
• Jumbo-size terraces (more than one in the penthouses) ranging to as high as 1,300 square feet, adding massive spaces with summer kitchens to the living areas (applicable to all residences - even the smallest ones). 

In short, Riva condos took South Florida sun-and-water mega-luxury homes to another level. 

Most units captured spectacular aqua-centric vistas of the Middle River directly or with views of the waterway stretching for miles north and south. Those with an easterly perspective have breathtaking outlooks that capture the twenty-acre George English Park on a picturesque estuary, Sunrise Bay - an expansive Intracoastal harbor - and the Atlantic Ocean just beyond that. The vistas for the few condos facing directly west without wrap-around terraces are mainly city scenes, green and colorful tropical foliage, and numerous canals.

The design theme is contemporary with ultra-modern touches creating a striking impression from the minute one enters the two-acre real estate footprint. It begins with a long tree-lined entry drive to a fountain-featured porte cochere leading to a 60-foot wide, glass-walled, river-view lobby. From there, residents (paying monthly HOA fees of 80 cents for every square foot UA of condo ownership) connect to a kaleidoscope of fantastic amenities (spanning 40,000 square feet) that embraces:

• A 4th-floor expansive residents' lounge merging with an outdoor resort-style heated lap pool plus:
  
  • An approximately 200' x 30' sundeck covered with Loungers and poolside cabanas for unsurpassed leisure and relaxation.
  • A hot tub one level down and splash pools.
• A lobby-level in-community coffee shop.
• Multiple private boat docks (for yachts up to thirty feet) and a floating launch deck for kayakers and paddle-boarders.
• A landscaped garden and walkway adjacent to the river from end to end of the campus.
• Two dog walks for residents taking advantage of the building's liberal pet-friendly protocols.
• Chef-standard kitchen/catering facilities around a party room, ideal for celebrations.
• A 7,000 square foot (UA) cardio/weight-training fitness center, saunas, showers, and yoga studio.
• Indoor allocated parking.
• High-speed elevators into private condo foyers.
• Private storage cages.
• Building insurance, repair, and common ground maintenance.

ZFC price analysis uncovered seven MLS closures over eighteen months, including one penthouse at $2.15 million (i.e., $916 per square foot UA). The lowest price was $825,000 for a west-facing unit ($516 per square foot UA) - reflecting a $400 valuation gap. While this can result in significant confusion, prospective buyers chasing an exceptional condo in Riva Fort Lauderdale should appreciate that MLS offerings depend on unit size, height in the tower, vista quality, and decorator upgrades. 

So, nobody’s better to clear the path ahead than an expert ZFC agent in your corner. Why? Because buildings of this caliber are our bread and butter. Our proprietary appraisal system will find the MLS's best-value sky home in Riva Residences to suit your needs, capturing the magnificent outlooks around this unique comples of luxury condos. We'll save you thousands of dollars without compromising your vision of a dream condo with every amenity you can imagine.

The development is not in the center of FLD, but that doesn't disqualify it from participating in the New Urban Lifestyle (NUL) so prevalent in every mainstream South Florida city. NUL has caught everyone's attention by providing metro conveniences at residents' fingertips without sacrificing luxury comforts. Thus, the white sand beaches a mile down Sunrise Boulevard await Riva condo owners who can reach them with jogging shoes or a quick bike ride. 

They're even closer to the expansive regional Galleria Mall, only a short distance south of Las Olas Boulevard's famous boutique outlets and FLDs spreading commercial and green-space infrastructure. The latter provides seamless access to scores of restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops, bars, beauty salons, parks, nature preserves, golf courses, excellent schools (see below), tennis & pickleball venues, and more. Finally, greater Fort Lauderdale International Airport and top-rated clinics are within fifteen minutes of any address in the development.

One should review FLD alternatives for a broad perspective in this contemporary/modern sky home category: Adagio, Paramount, and Auberge. The Vue, The Palms, Harbourage Place, and Galt Ocean Mile (GOM) communities - L'Ambiance & LHermitage - are older but no less elaborate or lacking in full-service facilities. Also see Adagio Fort Lauderdale.

Furthermore, our records indicate that millionaire clients looking for that ideal condo overlooking magnificent waterways investigate other cities to ensure all options are on the table. Thus we suggest you review the following:

• The Trump Tower brand in Sunny Isles Beach (Trump Tower I, Trump Tower II, Trump Tower III, and Trump International) and impressive buildings in Aventura (Porto Vita, Aventura Marina, Williams Island, and Riva Bay Harbor Islands.) 
• West Palm Beach’s downtown & Intracoastal area - offering some iconic 2015 or later projects such as The Bristol, La Clara, and Forte on Flagler. 
• Also, some early vintage high-end complexes are worthy candidates in Boca Raton (starting at $4 million) - Presidential Place, One Thousand Ocean, Mizner Grand located on the universally famous Boca Raton Club & Resort campus, and off-Resort neighbors Luxuria and Excelsior.  

The ZFC team has its finger on the downtown and beachfront pulse that defines Fort Lauderdale luxury real estate in South Florida. Moreover, our reach extends to marina SF communities, with new construction an exciting trend throughout these suburbs. We're also proud of the insights we provide our customers interested in historic districts, country clubs (CCs), modern resort SF projects, exclusive estate homes, and Active Adult compounds. Finally, we're active daily in the abovementioned cities: Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Wellington, Jupiter, and Parkland. So, hop on the ZFC dream home bandwagon. We guarantee delivery of a satisfactory result and an optimal-priced deal that will make you happy!
