such as The Wave on Bayshore for which he is head of sales. The Wave is a The Wave, new condo
boutique condo building developed by Oak Tree Management whose principle, on Fort Lauderdale Beach
Rick Rosan, was the economic developer for downtown Brooklyn and New York
City as well as serving as CEO for the Urban Land Institute. Situated steps from
the Fort Lauderdale Beach along other powerful brands like the Ritz-Carlton,
Four Seasons, the W Hotel and the Westin, The Wave was constructed with
state of the art features and amenities and was built to mirror the famous Wave
Wall of Fort Lauderdale Beach all while providing ocean to Intracoastal views.

On the luxurious side of this urban trend is The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton
Fort Lauderdale, the site of both Teixeira’s record breaking sale and his new
Douglas Elliman office. This hotel residence was designed by the acclaimed
firm, Arquitectonica, and comes completely furnished and managed by The
Ritz-Carlton to allow occupants the feel of a private home while living within
the impeccably maintained standards for which the hotel chain is renowned.
Teixeira explains that many of his sales at the Ritz-Carlton Residences come
from empty-nest home owners who want to downsize from their large suburban
home and live within urban setting, all while enjoying world class hotel-standard
maintenance. In fact, Teixeira’s record breaking sale of the penthouse in this
property was to a homeowner from Weston, FL looking to downsize.

Modern community developments and the influx of first-rate architecture are
trends that are sure to continue in Broward real estate development as more
and more internationals and American buyers flock to the area seeking a higher
quality, and more enjoyable lifestyle. “Today, the buyers are requiring develop-
ers to think outside the box and create an architecture style that give one the
sense of a sensational arrival as you approach each structure,” Teixeira explains.
As the market demands, so developers will seek to supply and Dan Teixeira is
poised to remain at the top of the game. stb
