The Waterfront
Life on the Water
Beginning With the Water
The Water Is Your World
Some of the best days on the water begin without a plan. An early departure through quiet waterways. An afternoon along the coast. An evening returning as the city settles into the horizon.
At The River Residences, waterfront living in Fort Lauderdale becomes an extension of the home rather than an amenity beside it.
A Different Kind of Everyday
The Day Has a Waterline
An early boat slips by while coffee is still brewing. By evening, the light has changed, and the same stretch of water feels entirely different.
That's the attraction of waterfront living in Fort Lauderdale. The view is never quite the same twice, and the water becomes part of the moments you remember without having planned them.

Dockside Living
At the Water's Edge
Nine privately deeded boat slips sit between the residences and the river, held as part of the collection rather than shared among it.
Each slip is individually deeded, not shared, and is offered in connection with residence ownership rather than as a separate purchase. The docks measure approximately 30 feet and are designed to accommodate boats up to 40 feet in length, subject to applicable docking requirements.
The nine privately deeded docks have received approval and are currently under construction, with completion anticipated in December 2026, subject to construction progress.
Boating routes continue toward the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean through Fort Lauderdale's waterways and nearby inlets. The route includes one fixed bridge with approximately 11 feet of vertical clearance, so navigation depends on vessel dimensions, tide, draft, weather and applicable restrictions.

The River Changes the Way the Neighborhood Reads.
From above, familiar urban patterns give way to something more fluid. Homes follow the shoreline, canals interrupt the streets and boats move through a landscape shaped by water.
It's a perspective that captures the distinctive appeal of waterfront living in Fort Lauderdale: the city is always present, but the river gives it another dimension.

The Details That Matter
The Most Important Part of a Boat Slip Isn't the View.
It's the right to use it.
A dock's appearance tells only part of the story. Whether a slip is private, assigned, deeded, leased or shared is what shapes the actual experience of ownership.
At The River Residences, the slips are deeded rather than shared, and each includes shore power and a dedicated water hookup. Ownership remains subject to the governing documents and to the developer's confirmation of final terms.
Before choosing a residence, ask which homes the slips are attached to, what vessel limitations apply, and which responsibilities come with dock use.
