> Fort Lauderdale restaurateurs Aiton “AJ” Yaari and Lior Avidor want to develop a mixed-use project on a 5-acre oceanfront site in Fort Lauderdale; to be called “Las Olas Ocean”.
They plan a condominium, hotel, retail and restaurants on their assemblage spanning nearly two full blocks from Poinsettia Street south to East Las Olas Boulevard, and from A1A east to the beach. Project details are yet to be hammered out, including building heights and the number of condos and hotel keys. The pair have hired Kobi Karp to design the project. Yaari and Avidor say they want to bring Fort Lauderdale’s beachfront back to its heyday.
