Overview
About La Fontana
La Fontana is a 1961 high-rise on the water side of North Flagler Drive, one of the older towers on this stretch of the Intracoastal. It is a cooperative, not a condominium: buyers purchase shares in the corporation that owns the building and receive a lease on their apartment.
The building is ten stories with 138 apartments on the county roll, all dated 1961. Most run from about 680 to 1,290 square feet, with a typical apartment near 820.
Shared spaces include a heated saltwater pool with a cabana and grill, a fitness room, gated parking and a front desk. As a cooperative, every buyer and tenant goes through board approval, which is reported to include an interview, and leasing is restricted, with no leasing reported in the first year of ownership. Pets are reported as restricted.
In July 2026 news reports said the cooperative’s board had agreed to sell the whole building to a developer, with closing possibly in 2027. Anyone looking at an apartment here should know where that stands; we confirm the current status for a specific apartment.
