The first high-rises in Fort Lauderdale appeared in the 1950s and 1960s as the population of the city grew rapidly, and were mainly built along the coast. In 1973, One Financial Plaza was constructed in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, becoming the city's tallest building at a height of 375 feet (114 m).[2] It was surpassed by 110 Tower, notable for its brown granite exterior, in 1988.[3] Other commercial high-rises built in the late 20th century include Broward Financial Centre in 1985 and PNC Center in 1991.
A construction boom took place in the 2000s with residential towers reaching greater heights. Las Olas River House, a residential skyscraper consisting of three adjoining buildings, was completed in 2004. With a height of 452 ft (138 m),[4] it supplanted 110 Tower as Fort Lauderdale's tallest building. A larger high-rise development boom has been ongoing since the 2010s, reshaping the city's skyline.[5][6][7][8] The boom is concurrent with a skyscraper boom in Miami and the rest of its metropolitan area. The title of Fort Lauderdale's tallest building has changed three times since the mid-2010s, first to Icon Las Olas in 2017, then 100 Las Olas in 2020, and finally to Veneto Las Olas in 2023. Andare Residences, currently under construction, will be the first building to exceed 500 ft (152 m) in the city upon its expected completion in 2027.[9]
Due to the construction booms of the early 21st century, Fort Lauderdale's skyline is primarily composed of residential buildings. Most of the high-rises in Fort Lauderdale are located either in downtown or on the city's coast along the Atlantic Ocean. Several of the tallest buildings are situated near and named after Las Olas Boulevard. The New River runs through downtown, and high-rises can be found on both sides of the tidal estuary.
