Riva Fort Lauderdale

RIVA's 400-feet of riverfront inspired both its Italian name and contemporary Italian design making these exquisite condos in Fort Lauderdale. The 15-story tower follows the gentle curve of the shoreline, and faces east across the river over two very large parks – with unobstructed views all the way to the ocean. With only 10 residences per floor, each opens up onto broad, deep, covered terraces and panoramic views. A typical size is over 60-feet long and over 10-feet deep, banded by glass rails and opening up from floor-to-ceiling glass walls along the living and sleeping rooms within. Terraces this large allows plenty of furniture space for outdoor living and dinner parties, so a summer kitchen is included in the design. The see-through panoramic feeling is continued in amenity areas such as the ground floor lobby. Here a porte cochère arrivals court brings guests to the valet parking, where they enter a 6-foot wide lobby with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a direct view to the river. The stone and glass finish is complemented with classic furnishings.
