Las Olas River House — Floor Plans + View + Sun

Las Olas River House — Floor Plans + View + Sun

1. Columbus — ~2,129 SF | 2BR + den / 3BA
• View: New River + downtown + longer-distance water/ocean depending on floor
• Sun: Excellent light; south-facing portions get substantial daytime sun
• Why I like it: Big entertaining space • den • feels like a true luxury residence
• Biggest negative: Only two true bedrooms for 2,100+ SF
• Investor take: My favorite value plan
2. Gramercy — ~2,141 SF | 2BR / 2.5BA
• View: New River + skyline + ocean, with two large terraces; current listings describe both direct river and city exposures.  
• Sun: Excellent — multiple exposures; listings specifically reference sunrise and sunset views.  
• Why: Flow-through • two terraces • extremely private wing
• Negative: Still 2BR and usually priced at a premium
• Investor take: Best view-oriented 2BR
3. Lexington — ~1,869 SF class | 2BR / 2.5BA
• View: River/pool with city/water exposure depending on residence
• Sun: Good; generally brighter than a single-exposure plan
• Why: Great size • split bedrooms • easier price point than Columbus
• Negative: Doesn’t have Columbus/Gramercy’s “wow” scale
• Investor take: ½ Best middle-market plan
4. Chelsea — ~1,522–1,632 SF class | 2BR / 2.5BA
• View: Direct New River + Riverwalk + pool on river-facing examples; rounded glass makes the view unusually panoramic.  
• Sun: Very good, particularly with the radius floor-to-ceiling glass
• Why: Great glass • efficient size • excellent river connection
• Negative: I’d stretch to Lexington if the price gap is modest
• Investor take:
5. Soho — ~1,161–1,262 SF | 2BR / 2BA
• View: City/river/water varies significantly by floor
• Sun: Good on higher floors because of extensive glass
• Why: Efficient • 2BR • cheapest practical entry into River House
• Negative: Doesn’t have the grand scale that differentiates River House
• Investor take: ½
6. Madison — ~2,726–2,887 SF | 3BR / 3.5BA
• View: Outstanding — east to Atlantic + north city + west along New River on current high-floor examples.  
• Sun: Excellent multi-directional light
• Why: True 3BR • huge views • family-friendly resale
• Negative: Big jump in price and carrying costs
• Investor take: My favorite 3BR
7. Park — ~3,470 SF | 3BR + den / 3.5BA
• View: Panoramic river/city/water exposure
• Sun: Excellent because of the much broader exposure
• Why: Huge footprint • den • primary-residence quality
• Negative: Smaller resale pool at this size/price
• Investor take:
8. Fifth Avenue — ~3,690 SF | 2–3BR + den / 3.5BA
• View: High-floor panoramic city/New River/ocean exposure
• Sun: Excellent — broad high-floor exposure
