“It Is Just Magical” – Douglas Elliman’s Jay Parker Weighs in on Fort Lauderdale’s Future

Jay Parker talks about Selene Fort Lauderdale
“There are east-to-west view corridors, sunrise to sunset, and opportunities to see the beach and the beautiful bayfront.” That’s how Douglas Elliman CEO Jay Parker describes the breathtaking vistas from Selene Oceanfront Residences. Rising along Fort Lauderdale Beach, these soon-to-be-delivered oceanfront homes have captivated everyone who has taken in the scenery from above. While each residence features a 10-foot-deep private terrace, the Penthouses frame the coastline’s magic with dual wraparound terraces. Join Jay Parker for an inside look at how these Penthouse views rise above the rest.

Penthouse Residences Reach Rarefied Heights

Situated at the top of the two buildings, the Penthouse Residences at Selene offers your own slice of the Fort Lauderdale Beach skyline. Each features two wraparound terraces – one facing east to showcase the Atlantic Ocean, and the other facing west for views of the city skyline. Penthouse 02 in the South Tower offers the largest terraces of any residence, with a combined total of 1,205 square feet of outdoor living space. Floor-to-ceiling windows seamlessly open to both terraces, erasing the boundary between indoor and outdoor living.

“With occupancy just around the corner and only a handful of residences remaining, these Penthouses are remarkable,” shared Parker. “The soaring ceilings, large living spaces – it’s the perfect choice for someone looking to transition from a home while still having the luxuries of a turnkey residence.”

The Energy of Fort Lauderdale’s Skyline

A west-facing terrace reveals a city that’s alive with energy both day and night. By day, Fort Lauderdale’s waterways, known as the “Venice of America,” are filled with boats, yachts, and water taxis making their way through the bustling canals. At night, the skyline sparkles with the city’s entertainment scene. From your terrace, you’ll be able to admire the finest vessels from around the world gathering for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in October.

“They refer to this as the Venice of America, but I hear the new name is the Monocle of America,” shared Parker. “We’re not sinking, we’re rising to new heights. The west-facing terraces have a magical view of the channels, the activation, and the lifestyle of Fort Lauderdale that just keeps getting better.”

Uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean Vistas

The sea breeze is a part of your daily experience on an east-facing terrace. Begin your mornings with coffee in hand, watching the sun rise over the horizon. Or unwind in the evening to the calming rhythm of the waves. You’ll also have prime viewing for Fort Lauderdale Beach’s most celebrated events, including the Air Show and Tortuga Music Festival.

“The beautiful, salted, white-sand oceanfront beaches are at your doorstep,” shared Parker. “And this Fort Lauderdale Beach location just keeps growing, enhancing, and maturing. You’ll be surrounded by the best restaurants in the world, all outside your oceanfront home.”

Resort-Style Living Above the Florida Oceanfront

The views extend far beyond the residential levels. Your sky-high residence grants exclusive access to Kobi Karp’s elevated amenity deck, which connects the two buildings. Designed to embrace the Florida sunshine, this expansive deck offers Atlantic Ocean vistas throughout the day. Swim in the 75-foot lap pool or relax in the resort-style pool and spa while enjoying the views. The outdoor kitchen and fire pit lounges are perfect for evening gatherings, while a dog park with a grooming station provides a dedicated space for your furry friends. Indoors, the Wave Entertainment Lounge and Seasons Gathering Lounge offer stylish spaces for entertaining, while the Fitness Center brings a tropical flair to your workout routine. For those who work remotely, The Hub offers an ideal environment, and Selene’s 5,300-square-foot beachside restaurant will provide a premier dining experience just steps away.
