Ft Lauderdale real estate developers took a tip from the Miami playbook hosting brokers and buyers in jetset style during the recent Ft. Lauderdale Air Show. Guests were literally wined and dined from up above at penthouse levels providing a birdseye view of both the beach and sky show. It was a picture perfect afternoon with crystal clear blue skies sparkling with jets streaming and waters glistening below.

First stop was The Ocean Resort Residences at Conrad Ft. Lauderdale Beach. They are offering a too good to be true, 8% guaranteed return with a leaseback program for buyers who buy turnkey furnished condo/hotel units which will be ready by September 2017.

Second stop was Four Seasons Ft Lauderdale Residences offering pre-construction units that will change the face of Ft. Lauderdale bringing a 5-star living experience to the beach. They are offering both condo/hotel units as well as residences ready 2019.

Ft. Lauderdale is a coastal capital known as the "Venice of the Americas". The future of Ft. Lauderdale is giving way to new experiences of urban and oceanfront living. The future has already begun in Ft. Lauderdale with:

• An expanded Ft. Lauderdale International Airport with direct flights from Dubai & London among many more locations
• All Aboard Florida is the first fast-speed train on the East Coast of the USA that will connect Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando starting August 2017
• Port Everglades is expanding its cruise and cargo vessel capacity
