Exclusive High-Rise Living with Direct Brightline Transit Connectivity
Exclusive Green Card EB-5 Program
The Lauderdale is the only residential project in Fort Lauderdale offering the Green Card EB-5 Program. This unique opportunity allows investors to secure U.S. residency while contributing to a premier development in a thriving market.
Prime Location
The Lauderdale straddles two booming neighborhoods in the heart of Fort Lauderdale (the Downtown Core / Central Business District and Flagler Village, respectively), and is immediately adjacent (and will be connected via covered pedestrian walkway) to the Fort Lauderdale Brightline station. The Brightline recently opened stations in Boca Raton, Aventura, and Orlando, with additional stations planned and under development. From 2021 to 2022, Brightline’s ticket revenue increased 280%, and overall ridership increased 671%. In the first six months of 2023, Brightline has seen an 129% increase in revenue, prior to the opening of the Orlando station.
Investment Opportunity
The Lauderdale is located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone, making it eligible for tax-advantaged development. The 42 story high-rise includes 422 Class-A luxury residences and 8,738 sq ft of prime retail space, offering a unique opportunity for investors seeking growth in a booming market.
Competitive Marketing Advantage
This will be the only residential project directly adjacent to the entrance of the Fort Lauderdale Brightline station, and will be connected directly to the Brightline station via a covered pedestrian walkway.
Intense, Highly Flexible Zoning
Zoned under RAC-WMU within the Downtown Core area, The Lauderdale benefits from highly flexible regulations, with no specific height or density restrictions. The project includes 524 parking spaces, accommodating both residents and retail visitors.
