Sixth and Rio on Track for Late 2026 Delivery

Construction at Sixth and Rio, an 8-story boutique condo at 501 SE 6th Avenue along Fort Lauderdale’s New River, has passed a key milestone ahead of its expected late 2026 delivery. The reinforced concrete superstructure is fully formed, CMU walls are nearly complete across all levels, and crews have shifted from vertical construction to post-structural work. Glazing has started on the eastern elevation, with window panels in place from the second through fourth floors.

Construction Progress

Sixth&Rio is being developed by OceanLand Investments and designed by FSMY Architects + Planners, with Stiles Construction serving as general contractor. The project broke ground in summer 2023 and is on track for late 2026 delivery.

The building’s curved facade follows the bend of the New River directly below. French Art Nouveau and Art Deco references run through the design, pairing balconies and floor-to-ceiling glass to maximize river and city views. Exterior cladding and architectural finishes have not yet begun, though the pace of work suggests that phase is close.

On the rooftop, crews are forming and reinforcing the mechanical and amenity deck ahead of the sky terrace build-out.
