This building is anything but cliche. Fort Lauderdale has never seen anything like it. It is very fresh, very sophisticated. By virtue of its unique design, it will attract a very sophisticated buyer.

Setting the tone for future projects along the waterfront, La Rive's sleekly elegant 10-story tower of curving glass is already near the halfway point for sales of its 37 exclusive units.

Inside each unit custom-designed, fully-equipped kitchens include granite counters and a full backsplash, selected Italian cabinetry in wood, lacquer and stainless steel finishes, Kohler faucets and fixtures, and the KitchenAid Architect Series of appliances. Cabinets and counters may be customized in up to 16 choices of finishes.
