Andare - best floorplans + views

Andare is different from the older Las Olas towers: the big decision is east/ocean exposure vs west/sunset/skyline exposure, plus how much you’re willing to pay for elevation.

1. 03 Stack — ~2,140 SF | 3BR / 3.5BA

My ranking

03 → 04 → 05 → 02 → 06 → 01

Where I’d buy

Best overall: 03 stack — true 3BR, efficient ~2,140 SF footprint and a more manageable entry price.

Best lifestyle: 04 stack — southeast/south exposure + higher-floor ocean/Intracoastal views.

Best value: Lower/mid-floor 03. I’d rather buy #1203 around $1,075/SF asking than pay roughly $1,275/SF for #2803 unless the higher elevation/view is personally important.

Best sunset: 01/02 side.

Best sunrise/ocean: 04/05/06 side.

For investment, I’d prioritize 03 and 04 between roughly floors 12–25. You get most of the Andare product and view proposition without paying the very large high-floor premium.
