In an unparalleled collaboration, WellDuo, Vertical Developments, and GCF Development have partnered with iconic Italian yacht maker Riva to introduce Riva Residenze, Fort Lauderdale’s first yacht-branded residential development.
This 20-story waterfront marvel features 36 exclusive residences, complete with a private marina and 200 feet of direct waterfront access. Located at 3019 Harbor Drive, Riva Residenze offers a superyacht-inspired lifestyle in the heart of the Yachting Capital of the World, with prices beginning at $3.5 million. Fortune Development Sales serves as the exclusive sales and marketing team.
"We are thrilled to partner with Riva to bring the superyacht lifestyle ashore in an unprecedented way," said Eduardo Palaez, Co-Founder of WellDuo. "Riva Residenze is designed to deliver larger residences while simultaneously offering an exclusive retreat for discerning buyers along the waterfront, truly embodying the essence of luxury yachting in a residential setting."
Riva Residenze not only brings yacht-style living to shore but also marks the debut property in Fort Lauderdale for the visionary trio. Nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and Fort Lauderdale Beach on Harbor Drive, the project is uniquely designed to face both the ocean and the waterway, providing effortless access to 5-star restaurants, boutique shopping, luxury hotels, art galleries, and world-class museums.
"The Aquarama revolutionized the idea of going on holiday, experiencing the sea and above all of being exclusive, establishing a new benchmark for elegance: since then, Riva has been more than simply a boat brand, representing a world of beauty and style that has inspired design, fashion and lifestyle choices," commented Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi.
With architecture led by the renowned Arquitectonica, Riva Residenze incorporates numerous design elements from the yachting world. Unlike any other, the unique water-inspired aesthetic contributes to a sleek and modern look reminiscent of superyachts. Giuseppina Arena, a renowned luxury interior designer with a focus on superyacht interiors, was handpicked to spearhead the design, infusing touches and design details that are so often carefully crafted in Riva's luxurious vessels. Together, the two achieve a harmonious fusion of comfort and functionality, to create Riva Residenze as The Superyacht of Waterfront Residences.
Comprising three to six-bedroom residences and two penthouses spanning from 2,000 to 6,000 square feet, Riva Residenze boasts private elevator foyers, 10 to 14-foot ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive living, dining, and gathering areas. Residents can bask in Italian-designed, customizable kitchens featuring Gaggeneau appliances, along with spa-inspired master baths, further enhancing the serene and relaxing environment.
With well-being at the forefront, Riva Residenze offers a state-of-the-art Techno Gym fitness center and a yoga and pilates studio. Within the dedicated wellness center, residents can find a heated spa, lap pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, restoration lounge, and private treatment space. Cabin suites inspired by the staterooms of iconic yachts are also available, reserved for friends and family. Atop the residences, Riva Residenze's SkyDeck offers yacht-like views of the ocean and intracoastal waterway. The Sundeck features a 50-foot infinity pool and private cabanas, while the SkyLounge spans 3,400 square feet with a gourmet catering kitchen and outdoor seating.
In true correlation with a water-enthusiast lifestyle, Riva Residenze features an in-house marina with seven slips for yachts up to 65 ft, including a dedicated slip for arrival and departure. The waterfront deck offers outdoor seating, hammocks, lounge chairs, and a space for private dining. A surf room with an outdoor shower and wet/dry storage caters to residents with stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, and more.
In the main lobby adorned with vertical landscaping and a direct view of the marina, residents can enjoy luxury concierge services, including dining reservations, travel assistance, executive services, personal shopping, event planning, private transport, and custom requests. A curated art gallery at the entry adds an additional touch of sophistication, while the Japanese-inspired meditation garden offers a tranquil retreat for residents and guests that makes for an entrance with an impression. Additional amenities include a resident’s lounge with a library, private cinema, cigar room, wine room, and media room with a golf simulator.
