On the shores of Fort Lauderdale, in the heart of the world’s yachting capital, a unique and unrivaled project is coming to life: Riva Residenze — the first residential complex under the legendary Italian yacht brand Riva.
This is not just luxury real estate in Florida — it’s a lifestyle, a mere 980 feet from the beach, with a private marina and direct ocean access. Everything here is imbued with the spirit of the open sea, the sense of absolute freedom, and the aesthetic of iconic superyachts.
Leading firms WellDuo, Vertical Developments, and GCF Development are developing the project in cooperation with the renowned architectural bureau Arquitectonica.
This elegant 20-story building incorporates everything that makes Riva yachts true works of art: refined lines, contemporary minimalism, and accents of Macassar ebony, steel, and aquamarine.
