New Condo-Hotel Tower Sets Fort Lauderdale Height Record

The 46-story condo-hotel tower is steps from the New River.

Fort Lauderdale’s 100 Las Olas tower just opened at 499 feet, making it the tallest residential building in the city.

The 46-story tower is a hybrid residential-hotel building with 113 luxury condominiums that start on the 16th floor above a 238-kety Hyatt Centric hotel.

Developer Kolter Urban, based in Delray Beach, built the tower on slightly less than an acre southeast of Las Olas Boulevard and Southeast First Avenue.

100 Las Olas is steps from the New River and next to the Las Olas River House condominium built in 2004.

About half of the condo units have been sold. They are two- and three-bedroom units ranging in size from 1,811 square feet to 5,281 square feet. Aside from the penthouse on the 45th and 46th floors, they are all are move-in ready with prices starting in the $900,000s.

The Las Olas district will soon add Main Las Olas, a 25-story office tower.

100 Las Olas overtook the previous recordholder for tallest Fort Lauderdale residential tower, the 480-foot Alluvion Las Olas north of the New River.

Miami holds the record for the tallest residential building on the East Coast south of New York with the 868-foot Panorama, an apartment tower with a hotel. It could be overtaken by 890-foot Okan Tower condo-hotel. Plans also have been floated for the One Bayfront Plaza office-hotel tower and The Towers by Foster + Partners condo towers, with both complexes rising over 1,000 feet.
