Fort Lauderdale, FL -- (SBWire) -- 01/27/2014 --From 2003 through the third quarter of 2013, more than 3,310 units have traded hands for nearly $1.27 billion, http://lasolasfortlauderdalecondos.com/ said. The firm includes the island of Palm Beach in the downtown West Palm Beach market.

The dwindling supply is why builders are launching a handful of projects in the area. Still, developers have been slow to embrace the market because demand from international buyers isn't as strong as in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, says Irena Sposato, principal at http://lasolasfortlauderdalecondos.com/.

Fucci will meet with brokers and buyers in Sao Paola, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Stockholm, Moscow and other locales.
