W Ft. Lauderdale Hotel-Condominium Residences is The W's first Florida property. My latest visit to their Welcome Center was earlier this year (2008) and when I spoke with one of their Representatives recently, I was told that completion is scheduled for the Fall of 2008 and that sales are nearing 90%.
W Ft. Lauderdale Residences includes 171 Condo-Hotel Residences and W Ft. Lauderdale Hotel includes 346 Hotel Rooms. The building Height is 23 Stories and 6 Floorplans are offered for the Residences. W Ft. Lauderdale Condos range in size from 804 - 1402 sq. ft. for 1 and 2-Bedrooms units and range in price from $975,000 - over $1.9 Million.
The W Ft. Lauderdale Condotel is one of several Ft. Lauderdale Oceanfront Condos and is located at 435 N. Ft. Lauderdale Beach Blvd. also known as A1A. This Ft. Lauderdale Waterfront Condo features 315 feet of Atlantic Ocean and Beach frontage, located conveniently close to Ft. Lauderdale's vibrant Las Olas and Riverfront.
A significant benefit for Investors and 2nd Home Owners is that Condos can be placed into W Ft. Lauderdale's Rental Program. 
The DYL Group, along with W Hotels, are the Developers and the building features Interior Design by Manhattan-based Clodagh Designs, one of Interior Design Magazine's top 100 Interior Designers in America. Landscape Design is by the Witkin Design Group and the Architect is Adache Group Architects.
One of The W Ft. Lauderdale's Amenities will be a Stephen Starr Gourmet Oceanfront Restaurant. I've never been to one and I can't wait to go when it opens! Stephen Starr's other Restaurants are located in New York City, Philadelphia, and Jersey City and this will be his first Florida Restaurant. Quoting from his website: "...Starr likens the experience of dining out to that of attending a theater production, where the players, props, backdrops, lighting and rapport are integral components of an overall dramatic effect. When this atmospheric drama is paired with edgy, delicious cuisine, dining out at an SRO restaurant becomes entertainment for all of the senses."
