The Israeli developers behind a 99-unit project in Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village just listed the condo project for sale at $3.5 million, The Real Deal has learned.

They're talking about small-sized apartments – maybe 400 to 600 square feet – over street-level stores, restaurants and entertainment. Millennials "want simpler, smaller, affordable, but they still want...
