Of course, we residents of the area all know of this fact. We are all aware that residential real estate transactions that are on the rise. Any drive along A1A reveals the construction taking place in Broward County. In this series of blog articles, I will highlight the real estate transactions and events happening in our neck of the woods. It is crucial, to “follow the money” especially if you plan on adding to your real estate portfolio or commence accumulating real estate holdings. The money is coming to us in Broward County.

The project, AquaVita Las Olas is located on Hendricks Isle in the Las Olas Isles neighborhood. Currently, there is one unit on offering at a price of $2million, other real estate transactions will certainly take place over the next few months.
