Bal Harbor the place to be !

“Our family has been building homes and communities for over 100 years. That includes over $500 million in Florida, from Sarasota to Palm Beach, and over $150 million here in Ft. Lauderdale- most recently La Rive, on the river just south of here. RIVA may be our most beautiful yet. Inspired by the city’s relaxed waterfront lifestyle, infused with contemporary Italian design, we think it reflects the best of both. And in this hideaway on the river, we were able to craft exactly what we wanted – an elegant, intimate waterfront home for only 100 fortunate owners. Welcome.” — Bradley Decklebaum, Premier Developers

Looking south down Ft. Lauderdale’s tranquil Middle River, RIVA (at right) overlooks the 20-acre George English Park to the ocean beyond. A private water taxi takes RIVA owners from their dock to the park, or to a quick stroll across Sunrise Boulevard to Galleria Mall.

Looking west, the towers of downtown Ft. Lauderdale and Las Olas Boulevard light up a sunset sky. The city has approved plans to raise the height of the Sunset Boulevard Bridge — great news for boaters.

Looking north up the broad Middle River, you can see why residents along its banks love it for kayaking, water-skiing and paddle boarding. But follow it to the south and you’re soon among the famed waterways of Ft. Lauderdale and its riverside restaurants and clubs.

The 4th floor Club Deck, with its outdoor terraces, pools and ocean view cabanas. Nearly 400 feet long, the deck wraps around to the west side of the tower, enclosing a glass-walled indoor space that welcomes residents to their fitness center, spa, owners lounge and the unique “Cucina”. At nearly 40,000 square feet, the Club is one of the largest indoor-outdoor condo amenities in South Florida.

The Residents Fitness Center is fully-equipped for cardio, aerobic and weight training; there are also yoga areas both indoors and out. The 60-foot lap pool overlooks the river, and is flanked by a sundeck and cabana lawns.

The Fitness Center includes over 7,000 square feet of training facilities, and is also home to a private spa treatment lounge.

The Owners Lounge is a 4,000 square foot private retreat that opens up to the ocean-view cabana lawn, the outdoor living room and the firepit lounge. Perfect for parties and special events, it is a posh social center worthy of a 5-star hotel.

The “Cucina” is an ocean-view expression of the idea that “the kitchen is the heart of every party.” So RIVA owners will have their own 2,000 square foot professionally-equipped kitchen and dining room to host 20 good friends at a chef-prepared banquet, or a rollicking “everyone cooks” dinner party that will become a RIVA signature.

Riva was created with only 100 exquisitely designed, exceptionally large residences, all featuring extraordinary panoramic terraces. There are 8 penthouses. Plus 2 custom-design homes on lower floors. Upper floors 5-14 each have 10 residences, for a total of 90, as follows:
