South Florida On The Market

A pair of record-breaking, and very different, portraits helped drive art to the top of the Luxury Investment Index in 2017, beating out perennial front-runners classic cars and investment grade wine along the way, according to  The Wealth Report , produced by  Douglas Elliman | Knight Frank Residential.

With FDOT now given the green light to move forward with the Signature Bridge project, here is a look at what exactly is being done.
