Construction is progressing very well and I shot several building pictures, which I included below.

A very motivated Seller contacted me in reference to marketing 3 units for Sale. They placed Deposits on 3 units, #1004, #1006, and #2104 and would like a simultaneous closing. These 3 units each have 2 bedrooms and 2 Baths in the Ocean Retreat Floorplan, offering a total of 1,283 square feet of living area, and a 212 square foot Terrace.

One of The W Ft. Lauderdale's Amenities will be a Stephen Starr Gourmet Oceanfront Restaurant. I've never been to one and I can't wait to go when it opens! Stephen Starr's other Restaurants are located in New York City, Philadelphia, and Jersey City and this will be his first Florida Restaurant. Quoting from his website: "...Starr likens the experience of dining out to that of attending a theater production, where the players, props, backdrops, lighting and rapport are integral components of an overall dramatic effect. When this atmospheric drama is paired with edgy, delicious cuisine, dining out at an SRO restaurant becomes entertainment for all of the senses."
