As Fort Lauderdale continues its exciting transformation, we recognize the visionaries shaping its skyline and the renewal that comes with each spring.
Fort Lauderdale has always been home to me. I was born and raised here, and I’ve watched this city evolve in extraordinary ways. The once-modest beach town has grown into a dynamic metropolis where sleek high-rises meet historic landmarks, and world-class restaurants and luxury resorts coexist with our waterways’ natural beauty. This city has undergone an incredible transformation, yet still carries the spirit of community and innovation that makes it unique.
That’s why this month’s Development Issue is significant. We’re showcasing the Motwani family, a name synonymous with the evolution of Fort Lauderdale Beach. Their vision and dedication have played a major role in forging the city’s skyline. They’ve created spaces that merge luxury, hospitality and love for this community. Their story is one of perseverance, legacy and a belief in Fort Lauderdale’s future, which continues to unfold before our eyes.
As we celebrate growth and progress, we also embrace the traditions that unite us. Spring is a perfect reminder of renewal and connection. Whether it’s gathering with loved ones, enjoying a Passover Seder or waterfront Easter brunch or simply appreciating the season’s fresh energy, this time of year invites us to pause and reflect on what truly matters.
And what better way to bring people together than over an unforgettable meal? DINE Fort Lauderdale continues this month with an exceptional five-course wine-pairing dinner at Truluck’s, a restaurant known for its impeccable seafood, prime steaks and exceptional service. Guests will experience a meticulously curated menu, perfectly complemented by wines from our exclusive sponsor, Go Wine. To start the evening off right, Los Magos Sotol will be our featured opening drink, setting the stage for an indulgent night of fine dining and great company.
These intimate dinners are a chance to experience the best of Fort Lauderdale’s foodie scene while mingling with fellow food lovers. Visit flmag.com/dine to reserve your tickets before they sell out.
As we look ahead to our city’s continued evolution, I hope this issue inspires you to appreciate not just where we’re going, but how far we’ve come. Whether you’re marveling at the city’s skyline, sharing a meal with loved ones or celebrating spring observances with family, relish the present while embracing the future.
