Now THAT is a Houseboat!

In Ft Lauderdale a proposal to build a 15-Story ‘Houseboat Condo’ has alarmed its local populus. If approved, this hightech, highpriced “houseboat” would literally change the skyline of Ft Lauderdale.
 

Many residents oppose the 15-story marina houseboat. They see it as a monster that would blot out their winter sun. The Harborage Club won approval from Fort Lauderdale’s Planning and Zoning Board to move forward on this project despite it being rejected by the city planners.
 

The 150 ft marina would have 416 indoor boat slips and a specially designed computerized crane to lift vessels up to 45 feet long on and off their racks. A houseboat holder so to speak…
 

The Condo slips run near $300,000 with maintenance fees of approximately $300/month. It would certainly constitute the “tallest marina” in the state of Florida and likely to be the most high-end of amenities based — a true one-of-a-kind houseboat facility.
 

Experts say the new marina won’t make up for the area’s dockage space problem. Especially when one considers who can and cannot afford it.
