An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of Fort Lauderdale’s most iconic historic properties—the former West Side School, a ±11,408 square foot landmark building located in the heart of the highly sought-after Sailboat Bend Historic District.
Originally constructed in 1923, this architecturally significant structure stands as one of the city’s earliest educational institutions and a lasting piece of Fort Lauderdale’s cultural fabric. Featuring timeless design elements, irreplaceable character, and a commanding presence, the property offers a unique canvas for adaptive reuse, ideal for an owner-user or investor seeking a truly differentiated asset.
Positioned just minutes from Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the New River, the property benefits from immediate proximity to Las Olas Boulevard, Flagler Village, Brightline’s Fort Lauderdale station, and major transportation corridors including I-95.
