Your home at the Four Seasons Condominium offers you all of this and more.
HISTORY OF THE FOUR SEASONS CONDOMINIUM
The Four Seasons Condominium was designed by Florida Architect William Crawford. Initially conceived as co-operative apartments, the Four Seasons became a luxury rental building and then eventually transformed into Fort Lauderdale’s first condominium residence. Originally conceived with a more “space age” exterior design, this was discarded in favor of the mid-century modern look that the building has today. The building features 8 units per floor on 11 floors, outside walkways to the units overlooking Sunset Lake, plus a spacious lobby with full time doormen and an inviting mezzanine level / Photo Gallery.
Situated on Sunset Lake, just steps from Las Olas Boulevard and the surrounding Isles, the Four Seasons Condominium has been home to many notables, both past, and present. Many may remember two of its earliest occupants, Academy Award-winning actress Susan Hayward, as well as the Andrews Sisters, a best-selling female vocal group.
Some of the color photographs on the mezzanine level / Photo Gallery at the Four Seasons Condominium were taken from the original promotional pictures of the building, which refer to the Four Seasons as “Fort Lauderdale’s finest address”. Other black and white photos are from the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society and date back to 1919, showing the area before there was any development!
Long-time Fort Lauderdale residents and visitors will remember the grand haute-cuisine restaurant Le Dome, which occupied the top floor of the building for more than 30 years. A copy of the original menu is available on the mezzanine level / Photo Gallery. As times changed and people’s tastes changed, the restaurant would eventually close and it is now a residential unit. In those days, LeDome would deliver fine dining right to the owner’s door and cater private social gatherings.
As the Photo Gallery attests, the Four Seasons Condominium still stands out today as one of Fort Lauderdale’s finest addresses. With a stunning architectural design, spacious units, and privileged location, the Four Seasons Condominium is truly a modern classic.
