Known as the “Venice of America,” Fort Lauderdale’s 300 miles of inland waterways are a flowing ribbon of serene Intracoastal with a mosaic of grand estates and passing mega yachts. This experience is the quintessential lifestyle of this particular locale, which has inspired the city’s first luxury branded residences on the Intracoastal with the introduction of EDITION Residences Fort Lauderdale. Presented by Miami-based real estate investment platform Location Ventures and Marriott International’s EDITION Hotels, sales have officially launched.
Located at 551 Bayshore Drive, the residences will meticulously unite modern sophistication with cultural artistry to deliver a new kind of highly intuitive luxury. Two 11-story towers with cascading facades will connect by a grand, double-height entrance with stunning views of its waterfront setting. High-speed elevators will whisk homeowners to 65 spacious residences, with two-bedroom to four-bedroom floor plans ranging between 1,710 to 4,660 square feet, along with nine villas and four penthouses.

Fort Lauderdale has emerged as a market of its own — and the EDITION Residences, Fort Lauderdale will be the perfect complement for Owners seeking a more laid-back luxury lifestyle.”
