Developers Unveil First Yacht-Branded Residential Tower: 

Riva Residenze in Fort Lauderdale

The Vision:

Developers WellDuo, Vertical Developments, and GCF Development, together with Italian yacht maker Riva, have unveiled Riva Residenze, marking the launch of the world’s first yacht-branded residential project. Riva dates back to 1832 and is known for its expert craftsmanship and use of fine materials. It’s the oldest and most iconic shipyard in the world, which excels today with cutting-edge technology, performance, style, durability, and elegance. Our team is proud to have played a part on this incredible project representing one of the developers in the purchase of the two development sites comprising this project back in 2022. 

The Tower:

The 20-story development includes 36 residences, occupying two parcels with 200 feet of waterfront and a private marina with slips. 

Designed by Arquitectonica, the architecture brings yacht-inspired elements into residential form, crafting a sleek aesthetic that recalls the elegance of superyachts. Renowned luxury interior designer Giuseppina Arena, who is celebrated for her work in yacht interiors, has been selected to bring Riva’s luxurious design standards into each unit.

The Neighborhood:

Positioned between the Intracoastal Waterway and Fort Lauderdale Beach on Harbor Drive, Riva Residenze presents an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle and easy access to Fort Lauderdale’s high-end dining, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions, combining proximity to urban amenities with exclusive coastal living.

Amenities, Services, & Dining:

Wellness and relaxation take center stage at Riva Residenze, where residents can access a Techno Gym fitness center, a yoga and pilates studio, and a dedicated wellness center with a lap pool, steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi. Residents will also find a SkyDeck with ocean and Intracoastal views, a 50-foot infinity pool, and a 3,400-square-foot SkyLounge.

Riva Residenze features an in-house marina with seven yacht slips, including one for arrival and departure. Outdoor spaces are tailored for a water-enthusiast lifestyle, with seating areas, hammocks, and a surf room with storage for water sports equipment.

Offers concierge services, including dining reservations, travel assistance, and event planning. An art gallery and Japanese-inspired meditation garden add to the ambiance, while amenities like a resident’s lounge, cinema, and wine room enhance the sense of refined living.
