TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY AQUAZUL MPH02

1. KEEP $1.75 MILLION IN YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Why tie up another $1.75 million in a second home?

Aquazul offers direct oceanfront penthouse living at a substantially lower entry price, leaving significantly more capital available for investments and other opportunities.

2. TWO WATERFRONT VIEWS. NOT ONE.

Atlantic Ocean sunrises. Intracoastal sunsets.

Wake up overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. End the day watching the sun set over the Intracoastal Waterway.

Casamar MPH02 offers direct ocean views but no Intracoastal views.

3. CASAMAR COSTS 54% MORE PER SQUARE FOOT

Aquazul: $1,048/SF
Casamar: $1,610/SF

Casamar commands a 54% premium while offering only 188 additional interior square feet.

4. SAVE AN ESTIMATED $456,860 OVER 10 YEARS

Aquazul’s lower HOA and estimated property taxes translate into approximately $45,686 in annual savings.

Over 10 years, that represents nearly half a million dollars in potential ownership-cost savings.

5. PRIVATE TENNIS + PICKLEBALL

Two sports. One oceanfront address.

Aquazul offers both private tennis and pickleball facilities.

Casamar offers pickleball but no tennis court.

6. VENETIAN PLASTER. TIMELESS EUROPEAN LUXURY.

Aquazul MPH02 features Venetian plaster finishes that create depth, texture and architectural sophistication.

A distinctive luxury feature absent from Casamar MPH02.

7. LARGER, OVERSIZED PRIVATE STORAGE ROOM

More space for the luxury waterfront lifestyle.

Additional room for golf clubs, luggage, beach equipment and seasonal belongings.

Particularly valuable for second-home owners.

8. PRIVATE ELEVATOR ENTRY + 10-FOOT CEILINGS

Aquazul MPH02 features a private elevator opening directly into the penthouse.

Combined with 10-foot ceilings, the residence delivers an exclusive arrival experience and spacious interiors.

9. LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA: A BEACH TOWN WITH CHARACTER

Enjoy an established coastal community featuring walkable restaurants, boutique shops, beachfront dining and a relaxed atmosphere.

10. THE BEST OF TWO LUXURY WATERFRONT MARKETS

Fort Lauderdale to the south. Pompano Beach to the north.

Enjoy convenient access to Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale’s world-class yachting lifestyle and waterfront restaurants, along with Pompano Beach’s expanding luxury dining and condominium scene.
