Sereno, Fort Lauderdale

In a city where high-rise condos compete for skyline dominance and rooftop pools blur together in shades of aquamarine, Sereno Fort Lauderdale is betting on something different. Yes, it has the requisite glass-and-marble glam, the Technogym-stacked fitness center, and a rooftop pool designed for Insta-worthy photos. But here’s the twist: life at Sereno comes with more than polished finishes and skyline views. Owners also inherit a couple of very Fort Lauderdale extras—one rooted in history, the other planted firmly in the sand.

Every resident receives a one-year membership to the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, complete with orchids and winding paths, plus beach service from the Boucher Brothers, with loungers and umbrellas ready on arrival. Together, they nudge residents beyond their front doors and into the rhythm of the city, where heritage and horizon are part of the daily routine.

And that cultural thread is more than symbolic. Fort Lauderdale is known for a lot of things—boating, nightlife, brunches that linger long past noon—but “cultural heritage” doesn’t always make the top of the list. Sereno is changing that by aligning itself with one of the city’s most cherished landmarks: the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens.

The estate, built in 1920, feels like stepping into a time capsule where art, history, and nature exist in a delicate truce. Thanks to Sereno, residents receive Orchid Level Memberships, which include unlimited access to the grounds for two adults and their children. Picture this: after your morning Pilates class on Sereno’s yoga lawn, you stroll down to Bonnet House for a docent-led tour among the orchids—or maybe just to wander through shaded paths with your kids, who get in for free.

“The historic Bonnet House offers residents not only a peaceful escape into nature but also a window into Fort Lauderdale’s rich cultural heritage,” says Patrick Shavloske, CEO of Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. It’s a natural fit: a modern development that connects its residents back to the roots of the city.

Of course, heritage is only half the story. This is Fort Lauderdale, after all, and no lifestyle is complete without sand between your toes. Sereno’s second signature perk taps into the city’s most valuable asset: the beach itself.

By partnering with Boucher Brothers, the hospitality pros who’ve perfected beachfront service from Miami to the Keys, Sereno ensures that residents don’t just plop down a towel and hope for the best. Instead, they arrive to find a reserved stretch of sand, complete with two dedicated lounge chairs per residence. Forget lugging umbrellas or battling tourists for a spot near the shoreline—Sereno residents get their own private corner of paradise, curated and managed down to the last SPF spritz.

As Victor Ballestas, Principal at Integra Investments, puts it: “We’re creating more than just exceptional residences at Sereno – we’re crafting a comprehensive lifestyle that extends well beyond our property lines.”

Translation: no more chasing runaway chairs in the wind or begging the concierge for beach towels. Just roll in, sip something cold, and watch the Atlantic do its thing.

And when the sun sets and the beach chairs fold, Sereno still has plenty more to offer. If its off-property partnerships speak to culture and coastline, its on-property amenities double down on wellness. Residents can sweat, plunge, steam, stretch, and socialize without ever leaving the building. The rooftop wellness deck looks like something lifted straight from a luxury retreat brochure: private pickleball courts (because nothing says South Florida status symbol like owning your dink game), cold plunges for the brave, infrared saunas for the sore, and a yoga lawn that practically demands sunrise salutes.

For downtime, there’s a resort-style pool and sun deck, a Family Lounge (translation: a way to survive summer with kids in tow), and even a pet spa, because dogs deserve a wellness program too.

It all adds up to something that feels refreshingly different. Luxury condo marketing has become a bit of a Mad Lib in South Florida: insert “rooftop infinity pool,” “concierge services,” and “panoramic views” on repeat. Sereno breaks the mold by tying its identity to experiences you can’t replicate with another lap lane or valet app. A membership to Bonnet House feels like joining a secret club, a connection to Fort Lauderdale’s roots. The Boucher Brothers perk ensures beach days are as seamless as the marble floors in your foyer.

It’s a clever marriage of culture and convenience—one that makes Sereno less about square footage and more about lifestyle footprint.

Scheduled for completion in 2028, the 76-residence development is still a few years away from its official debut. But when it does open its doors, Sereno will offer something more enduring than amenities: a chance to live in Fort Lauderdale with both history and horizon at your fingertips.
