100 Las Olas: Fort Lauderdale's Tallest Building and Most Luxurious Condo
If you want to live on Las Olas Boulevard, have some of the most breathtaking sunset views in all of Fort Lauderdale, and own in the building that was voted the most luxurious condo in the city — there is one building that answers all three of those requirements simultaneously.
That building is 100 Las Olas.
I'm Joe Vairo — a 2x eXp ICON Agent, ranked the #3 real estate agent in Fort Lauderdale by Fort Lauderdale Magazine, and founder of the Vairo Group, ranked the #3 real estate team in Fort Lauderdale. I cover Fort Lauderdale's luxury condo market every day, and 100 Las Olas is one of the buildings I get asked about most consistently by buyers evaluating this corridor. Here is the complete breakdown.
The Building: 46 Stories, 499 Feet, Fort Lauderdale's Tallest
100 Las Olas stands 499 feet tall across 46 stories — the tallest building in Fort Lauderdale and in all of Broward County. That distinction is not just a bragging right. It has a direct and practical implication for every resident: the views from this building are, by definition, unobstructed in a way that no other Fort Lauderdale building can claim. Nothing is going to rise above you. Nothing is going to block what you see from your terrace.
The building was completed in 2020, making it the newest major luxury condo delivery in Fort Lauderdale prior to what is currently under construction in the market. That 2020 completion date matters for buyers thinking carefully about assessments, reserves, and the building condition risk that older Fort Lauderdale condo inventory carries in the current regulatory environment. At five years old, 100 Las Olas sits in a comfortable position — past the early-delivery phase, well ahead of the maintenance cycles that older buildings are now navigating.
The structure is a mixed-use tower with the Hyatt Centric hotel occupying floors 8 through 15 and the 121 residential condos beginning on floor 16 and running to the top. Understanding this layout matters for buyers evaluating the ownership experience — you are entering above the hotel, the lobby energy, and the transient guest activity. Your floor is residential from the moment you step off the elevator.
The Location: Las Olas Boulevard at Huizenga Plaza
The address at 100 Las Olas puts residents at one of the most specific and valuable intersections in Fort Lauderdale — Las Olas Boulevard adjacent to Huizenga Plaza and directly on the Riverwalk.
Las Olas itself needs no introduction to anyone who has spent time in Fort Lauderdale. The boulevard is the city's primary dining, shopping, and lifestyle corridor — the address that defines the Fort Lauderdale experience for most residents and visitors. Being on Las Olas is not the same as being near Las Olas. The walkability from 100 Las Olas to the full spectrum of what the boulevard offers is genuine and immediate.
Huizenga Plaza provides a green space anchor at the base of the building that softens what could otherwise feel like a purely urban environment. The Riverwalk extends the outdoor access along the New River in both directions. For a high-rise tower at this density and height, the ground-level environment at 100 Las Olas is surprisingly livable and pedestrian-friendly.
Eddie V's Prime Seafood is located directly downstairs — a detail that sounds like a minor amenity but functions in practice as a world-class restaurant at your doorstep. For the buyer coming from New York or another major market where having a great restaurant at the base of your building is a baseline expectation of premium residential living, Eddie V's downstairs delivers exactly that standard.
The Views: Sunset on Las Olas from 499 Feet
The views from 100 Las Olas are the product of a simple geographic and physical reality: when you are in the tallest building in Broward County, you see everything. The Atlantic Ocean. The Intracoastal waterway. The New River winding through the city below. The Fort Lauderdale skyline — which you are now above rather than within. The western horizon where the sunsets happen.
Those sunsets specifically are worth discussing because they are genuinely exceptional. From the upper floors and the terraces of 100 Las Olas, the western exposure delivers Fort Lauderdale sunset views that are difficult to access from ground level or from lower buildings in this corridor. The combination of elevation and western orientation creates a daily experience that residents consistently cite as one of the defining features of living here.
For the buyer who has been shopping Fort Lauderdale's luxury condo market and evaluating views across multiple buildings — 100 Las Olas is the benchmark that everything else gets measured against.
The Amenities: Full-Service Luxury at the Top of the Market
The amenity package at 100 Las Olas delivers the full-service experience that the voted-most-luxurious-condo designation requires:
Twenty-four-hour valet, security, and concierge establish the service baseline from the moment you arrive. The resort-style pool with private cabanas delivers the outdoor living experience that South Florida residential demands at this price point. The fitness center is built to the standard the building's buyer demographic expects. The lobby-level bar creates a social anchor within the building that extends the Las Olas energy into the residential experience without requiring residents to step outside.
And then there is Eddie V's. Having a restaurant of that caliber — nationally recognized, consistently excellent, the kind of place you take a client or celebrate a milestone — at the base of your building changes how you relate to your home in a meaningful way. It is not an amenity in the traditional sense. It is a lifestyle infrastructure that becomes part of how you use the building daily.
The Units: 1,500 to Nearly 4,000 Square Feet
Residences at 100 Las Olas range from two-bedroom floor plans through three-bedroom-plus-den layouts, spanning approximately 1,500 square feet on the entry end up to just under 4,000 square feet for the penthouse tier. The range of floor plans means buyers at different space requirements and budget positions can find a fit within the building — from a buyer entering the Fort Lauderdale luxury market at the two-bedroom level to a buyer looking for a penthouse-caliber primary residence at the top of the Broward County market.
The floor-to-ceiling glass that defines the exterior architecture of 100 Las Olas translates directly into the interior living experience — natural light, panoramic exposure, and the sense of being suspended above the city that the building's height and glass facade create together.
The Price: $1.7 Million Entry, Approximately $722 Per Square Foot
The current entry price point at 100 Las Olas sits at approximately $1.7 million, translating to roughly $722 per square foot. For the tallest building in Broward County, voted most luxurious condo in Fort Lauderdale, completed in 2020, directly on Las Olas Boulevard with Eddie V's downstairs and sunset views from 499 feet — that price-per-square-foot metric is worth contextualizing carefully.
Comparable luxury product on Palm Beach Island trades at significantly higher per-square-foot figures. Comparable new construction product coming to the Fort Lauderdale market — Andare, the St. Regis Bahia Mar, the pipeline of projects delivering in 2027 and beyond — is priced at or above this level at pre-construction pricing without the ability to see, touch, and verify the finished product the way a buyer at 100 Las Olas can today.
For the buyer who wants new-era luxury construction in Fort Lauderdale's most iconic address, available now rather than in 2027 or 2028, at a price point that competes favorably with both the resale and pre-construction market — 100 Las Olas is one of the strongest positions available in the current market.
Who Is 100 Las Olas Right For?
100 Las Olas is the right building for a specific and well-defined buyer: someone who wants to be on Las Olas — not near it, not across the river from it, but on the boulevard itself — in the tallest, most recognized luxury residential address in Fort Lauderdale, with sunset views that the city's geography delivers best from this elevation, and with Eddie V's and the full Las Olas lifestyle immediately accessible at ground level.
If that description is you, there is no other building in Fort Lauderdale that delivers this combination. The height, the address, the 2020 construction, the hotel-supported service infrastructure, and the Las Olas location are a specific package that 100 Las Olas owns exclusively in this market.
