Why Buyers Choose Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale
The World's First Yacht-Branded Residential Development
Riva is one of the most storied names in luxury yachting, with a heritage dating back to 1842. Riva Residenze at 3013 Harbor Drive in Fort Lauderdale is the first residential project to carry the brand, and it was designed to feel like a land-based extension of their yachts. Giuseppina Arena, a superyacht interior designer, handled the residential interiors, which means the mahogany, steel, and aquamarine material palette is drawn from the nautical world rather than the typical condo design playbook. For buyers who appreciate that pedigree -- and many of our boating clients do immediately -- there is nothing else like this anywhere.
Boutique Scale With Only 36 Residences
In a market where 200-unit towers are the norm, Riva Residenze delivers just 36 units across 20 stories. That is an extraordinarily low density for a building of this height. With Arquitectonica on the architecture, the tower is designed to maximize water views from every unit, and the limited unit count means the private marina, rooftop SkyLounge, and spa facilities are shared among a very small group of owners. We tell our buyers that if privacy and exclusivity matter more than a massive amenity complex, Riva is the answer in Fort Lauderdale. The building operates more like a private yacht club than a condo.
A Private Marina With Yacht Slips and Arrival Dock
The private marina includes seven yacht slips accommodating vessels up to 65 feet, plus a dedicated arrival slip. For a 36-unit building, that is a meaningful ratio. Compare this to Pier Sixty-Six's 164-slip marina shared across a resort campus or Ritz-Carlton Pompano's 13 slips for 205 units. The marina at Riva is intimate and resident-exclusive. The Harbor Drive location in Fort Lauderdale's yachting corridor puts you within minutes of the Intracoastal and Port Everglades. Our boating clients appreciate that the marina here is not a marketing bullet point -- it is the organizing principle of the entire development.
Superyacht-Caliber Finishes in Every Unit
Giuseppina Arena's interiors draw directly from superyacht design language. Custom Riva-branded cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances, natural stone surfaces, freestanding soaking tubs, and rain shower systems are standard. The 3,400-square-foot rooftop SkyLounge with panoramic views is finished to the same standard. We have shown buyers units at competing Fort Lauderdale buildings in the $3 to $5 million range, and the material quality at Riva consistently registers as a step above. The Gaggenau appliance package in particular is a detail that differentiates -- most competitors default to Sub-Zero and Wolf, which is excellent but ubiquitous.
Our Brokerage Take on Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale
Riva Residenze is the most distinctive residential concept in Fort Lauderdale right now. Developed by WellDuo, Vertical Developments, and GCF Development at 3013 Harbor Drive, this 20-story, 36-unit tower carries the Riva yacht brand -- a name with roots in the Ferretti Group's storied boatbuilding heritage. Arquitectonica designed the exterior, and Giuseppina Arena, a superyacht interior designer, created interiors that translate nautical design language into residential spaces. It is the world's first yacht-branded residential development, and the execution matches the ambition.
Three-bedroom units start at $3.5 million with 2,800 to 3,200 square feet. Four-bedrooms begin at $5 million with 3,500 to 4,200 square feet. Penthouses with four to five bedrooms occupy 5,000-plus square feet and are priced between $8 and $10 million-plus. The Riva-branded cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances, and natural stone finishes are consistent throughout, and the private marina with seven yacht slips plus an arrival dock gives the building a genuine waterfront identity that goes beyond a poolside view.
The trade-offs are straightforward. At 36 units, the amenity program -- rooftop SkyLounge, infinity pool, spa, wine cellar, Technogym fitness center -- is curated rather than expansive. If you want pickleball courts, a children's program, and multiple restaurants, Pier Sixty-Six or Ritz-Carlton Pompano will serve you better. The Harbor Drive location is in the yachting corridor but is not direct oceanfront -- the beach is 980 feet away. And the 2030-plus delivery means you are committing to a longer timeline. But for the buyer who identifies with the Riva brand, values boutique exclusivity, and wants a serious marina attached to their building, there is nothing comparable. Our team works with clients evaluating Riva alongside Pier Sixty-Six, Sage Intracoastal, and Rosewood Hillsboro Beach.
About Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale
Riva Residenze is a luxury boutique condominium at 3013 Harbor Drive in Fort Lauderdale, representing the world's first yacht-branded residential development. Developed by WellDuo, Vertical Developments, and GCF Development in partnership with Riva and the Ferretti Group, the project features architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by superyacht designer Giuseppina Arena. The 20-story tower houses just 36 residences, making it one of the lowest-density luxury developments in the Fort Lauderdale market and one of the most exclusive residential addresses in the city's renowned yachting corridor.
Three-bedroom residences with three and a half baths offer 2,800 to 3,200 square feet starting at $3.5 million. Four-bedroom units with four and a half baths span 3,500 to 4,200 square feet from $5 million. Penthouses with four to five bedrooms deliver 5,000-plus square feet at $8 to $10 million-plus. Every residence features custom Riva-branded cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances, natural stone surfaces, freestanding soaking tubs, rain shower systems, and floor-to-ceiling impact glass with waterfront terraces. The interiors reflect a superyacht design language built around mahogany, steel, and aquamarine tones that is entirely unique among South Florida condominiums and speaks directly to the boating lifestyle that defines Fort Lauderdale.
The private marina anchors the project with seven yacht slips accommodating vessels up to 65 feet and a dedicated arrival slip, giving the building a marina-to-unit ratio unmatched by larger developments. Additional amenities include a 3,400-square-foot rooftop SkyLounge with panoramic views of the water and city skyline, a 50-foot infinity-edge pool with cabanas, a full-service spa with sauna and cold plunge pool, a Technogym fitness center, a wine cellar and tasting room, 24/7 concierge and valet services, and EV charging stations. Private beach access is available 980 feet from the building for residents who want sand alongside their marina lifestyle.
For buyers cross-shopping Fort Lauderdale waterfront residences, Riva Residenze occupies a lane that no other building can claim. Pier Sixty-Six offers a full resort campus with 122 units and a 164-slip marina starting at $3.3 million. Ritz-Carlton Pompano delivers branded service with 205 oceanfront units from $1 million. Sage Intracoastal provides 44 flow-through residences with dual exposures from $2.9 million. Riva is the choice for buyers who want boutique exclusivity, the storied Riva yacht brand pedigree, Gaggenau-equipped interiors by a superyacht designer, and a private marina in a 36-unit tower designed by Arquitectonica.

Riva Residenze is currently in the pre-construction phase with an expected delivery date of 2028. Sales are handled exclusively by Fortune Development Sales.
What makes Riva Residenze unique?
Riva Residenze is the world's first residential development branded by a yacht maker. The interiors by Giuseppina Arena draw directly from Riva's superyacht design language — mahogany, steel, and aquamarine — creating a seamless connection between nautical luxury and residential living. The building includes a private marina with 7 yacht slips and a dedicated arrival slip.
What makes Riva Residenze the world's first yacht-branded residence?
Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale is the first-ever residential development branded by Riva Yachts, part of the Ferretti Group — one of the world's most prestigious yacht manufacturers, established in 1832. The partnership brings nearly 200 years of Italian nautical craftsmanship to residential design, with superyacht-inspired interiors by Giuseppina Arena from Riva Yachts featuring signature mahogany woodwork, brushed steel accents, and aquamarine tones. This is not simply a licensing agreement — Riva's design DNA is woven into every residence.
How does the private 7-slip marina work for owners at Riva Residenze?
Riva Residenze includes a private 7-slip marina accommodating vessels up to 65 feet, with a dedicated arrival slip for yacht arrivals. Given only 36 residences in the building, the marina-to-unit ratio is exceptionally high — roughly one slip for every five homes. Marina slips connect directly to the Intracoastal Waterway and open ocean, making Riva ideal for boating enthusiasts. This waterfront lifestyle is central to the Riva brand identity. Contact our team at ManhattanMiami.com for marina slip availability and pricing.
Who designed the interiors at Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale?
Giuseppina Arena, a designer from the Riva Yachts team within Ferretti Group, led the interior design at Riva Residenze. Her superyacht-inspired aesthetic translates the craftsmanship of Riva's legendary boats into residential spaces — think rich mahogany paneling, hand-polished steel accents, aquamarine color palettes, and Gaggenau appliances. Arquitectonica, the internationally acclaimed Miami-based firm, designed the building's architecture. The combination creates a tower that looks like luxury real estate from the outside and feels like a superyacht inside.

Monthly maintenance fees at Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale reflect the ultra-luxury service model including 24/7 concierge, valet, private marina maintenance, rooftop SkyLounge operations, full-service spa staffing, and building upkeep for only 36 residences.

Cash purchases are straightforward, and several lenders offer financing to qualified international buyers. Our brokerage regularly guides international clients through Fort Lauderdale luxury purchases.
What amenities are included at Riva Residenze beyond the marina?
Riva Residenze offers a comprehensive amenity package for its 36 residences: a full-service spa with hammam, sauna, and cold plunge; Technogym-equipped fitness center; 50-foot infinity-edge pool; 3,400 SF rooftop SkyLounge and SkyDeck with panoramic water views; private dining room and wine cellar; private beach access approximately 980 feet from the building; and 24/7 concierge service. The rooftop SkyLounge is designed as a social hub with the same superyacht-inspired finishes found throughout the residences.
How does Riva Residenze compare to other Fort Lauderdale waterfront towers?
Riva Residenze occupies a unique niche in Fort Lauderdale's luxury market. At only 36 residences from $3.5M, it's far more exclusive than larger towers like Andare by Pininfarina (1,400+ units from $1.6M) or Selene Oceanfront (204 units from $2.7M). The yacht branding and private marina position it against Pier Sixty-Six Residences ($3.85M+, 164-slip superyacht marina, now delivered) and the upcoming St. Regis Bahia Mar. Riva's differentiator is the intimate scale combined with authentic nautical heritage — no other tower offers a 200-year-old yacht brand's design DNA.
What is the current sales progress and 2028 delivery timeline?
Riva Residenze Fort Lauderdale is in its pre-construction sales phase targeting 2028 delivery. Given the extremely limited inventory — only 36 residences total — early sales activity has been strong, particularly among international buyers and boating enthusiasts who recognize the Riva brand. Pre-construction pricing is typically the most favorable, with appreciation expected between contract and delivery. Developers WellDuo, Vertical Developments, and GCF are managing the project in partnership with Ferretti Group. Contact ManhattanMiami.com for real-time availability.
What floor plans and pricing are available at Riva Residenze?
Riva Residenze offers three-bedroom residences from $3.5M (approximately 2,800–3,200 SF with 3.5 baths), four-bedroom residences from $5M (approximately 3,500–4,200 SF with 4.5 baths), and penthouses ranging from $8M to $10M+ (4–5 bedrooms, 5,000+ SF). All residences feature superyacht-inspired interiors with Gaggenau appliances, mahogany woodwork, and expansive terraces with water views. The 20-story tower ensures only a handful of residences per floor, maximizing privacy. Full pricing and floor plans available through ManhattanMiami.com.
Why choose Riva Residenze over other Fort Lauderdale branded residences?
Riva Residenze is the only yacht-branded residential development in the world, combining nearly 200 years of Ferretti Group craftsmanship with ultra-boutique exclusivity (only 36 homes). For buyers who value nautical heritage, Italian design excellence, and intimate waterfront living with private marina access, no other Fort Lauderdale development competes directly. The Gaggenau kitchens, superyacht-inspired finishes, and 3,400 SF rooftop SkyLounge create a living experience that authentically extends the yachting lifestyle onto land. Our brokerage advises buyers considering Riva alongside Pier Sixty-Six and St. Regis Bahia Mar.
