Weston Jewelers/Rolex flagship on East Las Olas

Summary

A five-story, 74-foot Rolex-anchored luxury retail building with zero on-site parking is being recommended for the edge of the Las Olas shopping district, right against Colee Hammock and Beverly Heights. Neighbors fear parking spillover, traffic and a rezoning precedent; backers say Fort Lauderdale desperately needs high-end retail to compete with Miami and Palm Beach.
