EDITION Residences Fort Lauderdale Reveals First Look At Interiors Designed By Clodagh

Location Ventures has revealed a first look at the interiors for EDITION Residences Fort Lauderdale, designed by internationally recognized designer Clodagh. Inspired by its serene waterfront setting, the 11-story, two-tower marvel presents airy, refined residences that unite modern sophistication with understated elegance to deliver a new kind of highly intuitive luxury. Located along Fort Lauderdale Beach’s Intracoastal Waterway at 551 Bayshore Drive, the project broke ground last month and has begun converting reservations to contracts.

Cultivated interiors cast in a neutral palette and varied textures exude warmth and comfort. Featuring 65 spacious residences, floor plans offer two, three and four bedrooms and range in size from 1,710 to 4,660 square feet. There is also a limited collection of nine villas and four penthouses.

As each EDITION property is designed with its locale in mind, Fort Lauderdale Beach’s natural scenery and tranquil way of life inspired Clodagh’s designs for the interiors, which celebrate water and the changing sky. Incorporating elements of nature, custom wood millwork brings warmth and luxurious livability.

Gourmet kitchens designed by ITALKRAFT will blend quality Italian craftsmanship with functionality, offering quartz countertops, custom built-ins, vertical pantries and ample storage. Fluted oak wood at the base of the kitchen island adds visual intrigue and effortless style. Premium Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, such as induction cooktops, steam ovens and wine coolers, will pepper the space, while outdoor entertaining is made easy with a summer kitchen equipped with an electric grill and beverage center. The master bathroom will be a personal oasis with luxurious fixtures and a modern freestanding tub. Upgrade options include access to a private enclosed two-car garage, private cabanas and more storage.

“There is overwhelming demand for hotel-branded residences because of the world class service and unrivaled lifestyle they provide, and EDITION embodies that,” said Rishi Kapoor, CEO of Location Ventures. “EDITION Residences Fort Lauderdale will exceed discerning buyers’ expectations and bring a level of design that will have a lasting impact on the city for years to come.”

Residences will feature floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that open to expansive private terraces. Glass railings will provide unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway or the vibrant Fort Lauderdale skyline. Exquisite interior finishes will shine light upon the finest materials imported from Europe, including solid wood doors, large format limestone flooring and custom cabinetry.

Equally distinguished is the property’s architecture, designed by renowned firm garciastromberg to emulate the rhythm of the city and the Intracoastal Waterway with dynamic glass facades.

Cocktails and canapés added to the festivities, while a vibrant sunset over the waterway highlighted the serene views that will be enjoyed by future homeowners.

“North Beach Village in Fort Lauderdale has seen tremendous growth and change over the last few years,” said Rishi Kapoor, CEO of Location Ventures. “There is excitement and demand for the local, combined with the incomparable experiences and quality of the EDITION brand, and we are thrilled to break ground on this exceptional site.”

Fort Lauderdale has emerged from the shadows of its well-known neighbors: Miami and Palm Beach.

Each home will offer opulently designed interiors, gourmet kitchens with premium appliances, and unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal waterway from its floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive terraces.

Taking advantage of its lush surroundings, the property will provide residents with 20,000 square feet of outdoor amenities, including multiple wellness components like meditation walkways with meditation bowls, an edible garden, two pools, and an Intracoastal riverwalk that features dockage for small boats. A moonroof and a sunroof, featuring a movie screen, large fire pit, and an outdoor summer kitchen, will become ideal settings to mingle and unwind while enjoying unbeatable rooftop views. The property will also include a poolside grill and a Health & Wellness Center with dedicated areas for fitness and pampering, including a hammam and treatment rooms.

Designed by GarciaStromberg, the building’s glass façade emulates the movement of light reflecting from the waterfront. Internationally renowned interior designer Clodagh also embraces the natural characteristics of South Florida with neutrals punctuated by splashes of color and unique textures to celebrate the water and changing sky. Landscape design by Cadence captures the tropical essence of the area with its exuberant plants and tranquil energy.

EDITION Residences Fort Lauderdale is within walking distance to a plethora of leisure offerings, including the beach, culinary experiences, hotels and more.
