Discover the Lifestyle of Raintree Riverwalk Residences Homes

Raintree Riverwalk Residences is a planned mixed-use residential development on the south bank of the New River in Fort Lauderdale’s Tarpon River area. The waterfront site encompasses addresses at 408 SW 4th Street and 403 SW 3rd Avenue, placing it immediately south of Downtown Fort Lauderdale and close to Riverwalk, Las Olas Boulevard, and the city’s central business and entertainment districts.

The project has been planned as two residential towers accompanied by commercial space and improvements along the riverfront. A defining element of the property is its historic African rain tree, which was relocated closer to the New River as part of preparations for redevelopment. Those following Raintree Riverwalk Residences Homes for Sale should note that the project has primarily been planned as rental apartments rather than individually owned condominiums, and development plans and timelines have evolved over several years.

About Raintree Riverwalk Residences

Raintree Riverwalk Residences is planned on approximately 2.42 acres within a larger waterfront development site controlled by Cymbal DLT Companies. Approved plans have called for two mixed-use residential towers containing a combined 677 residences and approximately 21,000 square feet of commercial space.

Earlier plans identified towers of 28 and 29 stories, while subsequent development information has described the first tower as a 26-story building. The residential mix has been planned to include studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, with earlier plans showing residences ranging from approximately 491 to 1,298 square feet.

PALMA designed Raintree Riverwalk Residences with staggered architectural forms, balconies, terraces, and an active riverfront base. The commercial component is intended to bring restaurants and retail activity closer to the New River and extend the pedestrian experience along this section of Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront.

History of Raintree Riverwalk Residences

Redevelopment of this New River property has a lengthy history. An earlier proposal known as Marina Lofts envisioned three residential towers on the site. Later plans were revised several times as the developer worked through questions surrounding building scale and the preservation of the property’s large African rain tree.

In 2022, Fort Lauderdale’s Planning and Zoning Board approved revised plans for Raintree Riverwalk Residences with 677 residential units in two towers. Cymbal DLT subsequently obtained financing to prepare the site for construction.

One of the project’s most recognizable milestones was the preservation and relocation of the mature rain tree closer to the New River. The tree has played an important role in planning for the property and is intended to remain a prominent part of the completed riverfront setting.

Raintree Riverwalk Residences has since been incorporated into Cymbal DLT’s broader plans for the surrounding waterfront property, known as the Nautico District. More recent development information continues to identify Raintree Riverwalk Residences as a planned project, so earlier projected construction and completion dates should not be relied upon as current timelines.

Amenities

Final amenities for Raintree Riverwalk Residences may change as the project advances. Earlier plans emphasize landscaped amenity areas and a more active connection between the residential towers and the New River waterfront.
