Description of Home

# 1744 W Las Olas Boulevard ## Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312 ### Exceptional Waterfront Double-Lot Opportunity in River Vista A rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary waterfront property in Fort Lauderdale's desirable **River Vista neighborhood**. Located at **1744 W Las Olas Boulevard**, this distinctive property combines an unusually large waterfront footprint, exceptional dockage potential and remarkable flexibility for the creation of a custom South Florida residence. The property encompasses approximately **13,263.5 square feet (0.3044 acres)** and consists of **two platted lots, Lots 21 and 22**. Its unique curved waterfront configuration provides an exceptional amount of water frontage relative to the property's size, creating possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find this close to downtown Fort Lauderdale. ### Exceptional Waterfront & Boating The property's defining feature is its expansive waterfront setting and substantial existing seawall and dockage. With **no fixed bridges** between the property and the New River, the location provides convenient boating access through Fort Lauderdale's extensive waterway system and onward to the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. The waterfront configuration offers tremendous flexibility for a serious boating owner. Rather than being limited to a conventional single-vessel dock, the property has the potential to accommodate a substantial private marina arrangement with multiple vessels and watercraft, subject to applicable marine permitting and regulations. For a buyer envisioning a waterfront estate centered around boating and outdoor living, this is a particularly difficult combination of land, waterfront and location to replicate. ### Two Compelling Development Possibilities **Create a Signature Waterfront Estate** Develop the entire property as one substantial custom residence and take advantage of the unusually broad waterfront footprint. The site lends itself to a modern South Florida home designed around the water — incorporating expansive indoor/outdoor living areas, pool and entertainment spaces, substantial dockage and panoramic views across the property's curved waterfront. Conceptual design work has already been undertaken demonstrating how a substantial custom residence can be positioned on the property while taking advantage of its distinctive configuration. **Explore Development of the Two Platted Lots** Because the property consists of **Lots 21 and 22**, it also presents a potential alternative development strategy involving two separate waterfront residences. A buyer or developer should independently confirm subdivision, zoning, setbacks, access, utilities, flood requirements and the ability to obtain separate building permits with the City of Fort Lauderdale before relying upon this development scenario. That flexibility gives the property an unusual combination of appeal to both an **end-user seeking an exceptional waterfront homesite** and a **builder or developer evaluating multiple development strategies**. ### Significant Due-Diligence Work Available Unlike many redevelopment properties offered with little more than an address and survey, substantial preliminary work has already been undertaken in connection with the site's future development. Available materials include: * Boundary/topographic survey and elevation information * Geotechnical/soil investigation and foundation-related information * Existing-property and waterfront information * Architectural concept plans and design work * Other development-related due-diligence materials These materials can provide a prospective purchaser, architect or builder with a meaningful head start in evaluating the property and planning a future residence. ### A Rare Fort Lauderdale Waterfront Site The value of 1744 W Las Olas Boulevard is not simply its acreage. It is the combination of **approximately 0.30 acre of land, two platted lots, an extraordinary curved waterfront configuration, extensive existing seawall and dockage, no-fixed-bridge boating access, and proximity to downtown Fort Lauderdale**. For the right buyer, the property offers the opportunity to create something considerably more distinctive than a conventional waterfront residence — whether envisioned as a substantial private estate with exceptional dockage or evaluated for its potential as a two-residence development. **1744 W Las Olas Boulevard represents a genuinely unusual opportunity to control a significant piece of waterfront in one of Fort Lauderdale's established residential neighborhoods.** *All dimensions, waterfront measurements, development possibilities, zoning, subdivision potential, dockage, marine improvements and permitting information should be independently verified by the purchaser with the City of Fort Lauderdale and other applicable governmental authorities.*
