Ready to Buy in Downtown Fort Lauderdale? Comparing Condo Buildings

Downtown Fort Lauderdale has really grown up in the past 15 years or so. It's become a full time city, not just for the 9 to 5 crowd. People are out walking their dogs in the morning along the river, having business lunches at mid-day, enjoying libations and excellent dining on Las Olas at night, and spending time with family and friends at special events on the weekends.

There has been a lot of condo buildings going up during this time and they've gone through some good times, and some bad times. Now it seems that for the most part, they are thriving with relatively low vacancy rates, stable prices, strong finances, and new residents. I wanted to look at all of the larger condo buildings downtown and get an idea of which ones have more vacancies and sales than others, and what is currently on the market and at what prices. Here is what I found out.

I'm looking at the largest 12 buildings downtown. Some buildings are definitely stronger than others when looking at vacancy rates and sales. Compare the Waverly's vacancy rate of only 5.5% with 13.6% for Strada. There doesn't seem to be any patterns based on price, location, etc. I've listed them here in order of vacancy rate (including units for sale and for rent) as I think this is a good overall indication of building strength.
