DEVELOPMENT
PHILOSOPHY

Jade Signature

At Fortune International Group, we have always been fosters of thought and action, believers in pushing boundaries, and champions of taking things further than most.

“If you want something done differently, where do you begin? What is the experience of a home? How does it make someone feel? How can it make life better? Simpler? More meaningful?” These are just a few of the guiding imperatives of Fortune International Group’s development philosophy and devotion to people-centric design.

Esteemed within the real estate development industry for an unwavering commitment to impeccable quality and craftsmanship, Fortune International Group raises design and engineering standards with each new building it delivers. Guided by insightful leadership, an exceptional in-house team, and more than forty years of experience shaping South Florida’s luxury real estate landscape, Fortune has become highly regarded for its boundary-pushing, expert approach.

Edgardo Defortuna and Jason Frantzen discuss the project with the Herzog & de Meuron team in Basel, Switzerland.

“Our philosophy is to always think
about the living experience first.
All of our properties are crafted
from inside to the outside.”

Modern Architecture
PIONEERING A CUSTOM-BUILT MOCK-UP
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION

In recognition that its skyline-defining projects could never be fully realized through traditional planning and architectural drafts alone, Fortune International Group has pioneered a pre-construction practice of creating a full-scale mock-up that allows the creative team to physically immerse themselves in every facet of the residential experience. This way, they could ensure all that was envisioned on paper and screen would come to life with rigorous precision, enabling the team to see, feel, and carefully consider each and every design element. 

The custom-built mock-up allowed development and design teams to explore and evaluate key architectural details prior to construction.
