Sixth & Rio is a boutique luxury condominium development located at 501 SE 6th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, rising eight stories with 94 finely crafted residences along the scenic New River in the Rio Vista neighborhood. Designed by FSMY Architects + Planners, the project delivers a refined blend of urban convenience and waterfront tranquility in close proximity to Las Olas Boulevard and Downtown Fort Lauderdale.

This carefully scaled community offers modern design, expansive views, and thoughtful indoor‑outdoor living, creating an elevated downtown lifestyle framed by riverfront parks and city energy.

Project Overview and Developer Vision

Sixth & Rio was envisioned to create a distinctive residential community that celebrates Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront setting while offering contemporary urban living. Developed by OceanLand Investments, the project integrates design influences drawn from French Art Nouveau and Art Deco, manifested in the building’s undulating façade and curved balconies that echo the bend of the New River.

The vision emphasizes light‑filled interiors with floor‑to‑ceiling glass, premium finishes, and amenities tailored to both social engagement and everyday comfort. The result is a boutique riverfront residence that combines bespoke design with desirable urban accessibility.
