Listing of the Day
Location: Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida
Price: $15.9 million
The apex of a pyramid-shaped glass building with dramatic step-down terraces, this luxury penthouse is the most expensive condo for sale in the Sunshine State’s Broward County.
The duplex residence, which begins on the 17th floor of the Auberge Beach Residences & Spa development, is being sold complete with its designer furnishings, said Megan Probst of Compass Florida, who co-listed it with Michelle Nunez of Fortune International Real Estate.
“It’s the supreme property of the development,” said Nunez, who added that Auberge Beach was built on the last five undeveloped acres of sand in the city. “And it’s turnkey.”

The unit has a variety of custom features, including coffered ceilings and luxury lighting fixtures, according to the agents. “It has been redesigned with high-end features that are not seen in the other units,” Probst said.
The building, designed by Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates, is architecturally distinct. “It’s a staircase to the sand,” Nunez said.
The seller, Selim Rusi, whose family owns the real estate firm Salmar Properties, said he’s enjoyed the views and the fact that there are “plenty of spots to soak in the sunrise or sunset.”

Neighborhood Notes
Fort Lauderdale, on the state’s southeastern coast, is, Probst said, “perfectly positioned between Miami and Palm Beach County.”
Nunez said that it’s “laid-back, approachable, comfortable and has the feel of a neighborhood beach.”
Unpretentious and private, Fort Lauderdale, which is defined by its beaches and boating canals, is a close-knit community that’s a “mix of all three of South Florida’s three counties,” Nunez added.
