FORT LAUDERDALE | Icon Las Olas | 460 FT | 45 FLOORS

Note: Will be the tallest in Fort Lauderdale. Also, this is an old project that is coming back. Should of started construction in 2009 but it was derailed for the meantime. Most likely the recession.

The 272 units will be at the site of the former Hyde Park Market, ready for its first residents in late 2016 or early 2017.

Of course, for a project that had its original roots in 1999, there have been changes along the way. While originally intended to open as a condo, it may ultimately become high-end rental apartments. Depending on market conditions, Related Group may convert them to condos at a future point.

Fort Lauderdale had approved the project way back in December 2005, even when the housing boom was ending. The next door historical Stranahan House supporters weren't ready to accept the project as a neighbor, pursuing contrarian legal action to convert the site to a national park. But they didn't get to cover much ground; the case to convert was dismissed by an appeals court in 2011, and the project stalled during the housing market collapse.

When prices bottomed out in 2012, the market took a turn back toward increased construction. And Icon is now benefitting from the latest building boom. And from the conditions in Miami.
