4 YEAR INVESTMENT THESIS | 2026 → 2030

1. RIVER HOUSE = THE VALUE TRADE — Buy around $650–750/SF → $1,000/SF potential.
2. LAS OLAS IS REPRICING — New luxury condos, high-end dining, walkability, waterfront lifestyle and limited prime inventory could push the entire neighborhood higher.
3. THE BIG ARBITRAGE — River House trades at roughly a 50%+ discount to Andare, despite sharing the same core Las Olas location and lifestyle.
4. REPLACEMENT-COST EFFECT — New projects selling around $1,200–1,500+/SF make established Las Olas luxury around $700–900/SF increasingly compelling.
5. RIVER HOUSE DOESN’T NEED $1,800/SF — A move from $650–750/SF → $1,000/SF represents roughly 33–54% potential gross appreciation.
6. 100 LAS OLAS = ESTABLISHED GROWTH — $800–900/SF today → $1,200/SF potential.
7. OMBELLE = NEW-CONSTRUCTION GROWTH — ~$1,000/SF → $1,300/SF potential.
8. VICEROY = BRANDED LUXURY TRADE — ~$1,200/SF → $1,600/SF potential.
