About the Project

Set back off the main street, down a long palm-lined drive that leads right to the water, RIVA sits on its own riverfront park, with an owners’ promenade and dock.
The condominium is an exquisite, contemporary Italian design (thus the name) in a curvilinear form that follows 400 feet of waterfront, with a 250-foot landscaped entrance drive. Extraordinarily generous indoor and outdoor amenity areas create a one-of-a-kind waterfront sanctuary for only 100 owners, and their welcomed pets.
From the fountain arrival court and the waterfront lobby, to exceptionally long and deep balconies, RIVA is designed for a sun-kissed, indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
RIVA’s exact location is 1180 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL. 33304

  • Lobby-level cafe overlooking river
  • Landscaped park along the bank of the river, with seating, gardens

About the Building

The 15-story tower follows the gentle curve of the shoreline, and faces east across the river over two very large parks – with unobstructed views all the way to the ocean. With only 10 residences per floor, each opens up onto broad, deep, covered terraces and panoramic views.
RIVA’s unique design is horizontal, not vertical, and stretches north to south along the bank of the river. So, homes with terraces on the east are greeted by sunrise
over the ocean, and homes with terraces on the west watch the golden sunset over the city.
A typical residence size is over 60-feet long and over 10-feet deep, banded by glass rails and opening up from floor-to-ceiling glass walls along the living and sleeping rooms within. Terraces this large allow plenty of furniture space for outdoor living and dinner parties, that’s why a summer kitchen is included in the design. The see-through panoramic feeling is continued in amenity areas such as the ground floor lobby. Here a porte cochère arrivals court brings guests to the valet parking, where they enter a 6-foot wide lobby with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a direct view to the river. The stone and glass finish is complemented with classic furnishings.

About the Residences

RIVA offers a wide variety of plans and sizes, all designed to take advantage of its renowned indoor-outdoor lifestyle and panoramic views. Apartments range from three bedrooms with ocean and river views. Wrap-around, floor-through end models. Two bedrooms with large terraces. One and two-story penthouses and lofts.
Great Rooms 30 feet wide. Floor-to-ceiling glass 9 feet high. Dinner party-sized dining room. Multiple seating areas. Master suites with dressing areas. Kitchens with large islands. Every residence at RIVA will surprise you with extra space and possibilities.
Every room has walls of glass with brilliant day and night views. The open kitchen plans reflect contemporary design and emphasis on a Great Room opening onto outdoor living. Sunrise and Sunset Terraces are both combined in some RIVA models, where residences extend all the way through the building, with views to both the ocean and the city.
RIVA’s penthouses are what you expect a penthouse to be. Not just the top floor, but the top two floors. You get two huge terraces, and both ocean and city views. With two floors, you also get your own elevator. Total indoor-outdoor living space runs from over 5,000 to more than 7,000 square feet. There’s nothing like these eight penthouses anywhere in Fort Lauderdale.
