A developer paid $7.2 million for a downtown Fort Lauderdale site with plans to build 380 rentals — though he’s not ruling out condos.
“What makes sense at this point is apartments, but things can change,” said Jim Ellis, founder of Ellis Diversified Inc.
The 1½-acre property is at 477 SW First Ave., next to the New River Yacht Club rental development. Ellis bought the land from the Gross family, represented by Adler Realty Services.
