Wells and John Wells as the Coast Guard Development Company, the Las Olas Company was originally established to acquire and rent beach and ocean front cottages in Fort Lauderdale. The brothers soon determined that a hotel would be a great business opportunity and in 1936 built the Hotel Champ Carr on Las Olas. The property was renamed the Riverside Hotel in 1947, which the Las Olas Company still owns and manages today. With the budding growth of the economy and tourism in Fort Lauderdale after WWII, Las Olas Boulevard saw a major expansion of retail stores in the late 40s and early 50s, making it a significant shopping district. Economic prosperity brought continuous growth and more people to Las Olas throughout the next three decades. The company, which was officially renamed the Las Olas Company in 1991, has evolved into the premier residential retail and office leasing business on the boulevard.

Las Olas has always been Fort Lauderdale’s most charming thoroughfare.

to memorable restaurants, sidewalk cafes and bars.

Running almost parallel to Fort Lauderdale’s New River on its way to the Atlantic Ocean,

Over the canal at the east end of the tree lined median, in the Colee Hammock neighborhood,
are more shops, restaurants, and stores too unique to describe… all worth exploring!
The energetically inclined can even walk down to the beach, where Las Olas meets the ocean.

A few minutes from most hotels and easily accessible by water taxi or land taxi,
Las Olas is a lively, pulsating, world class boulevard. Night or day, Las Olas is the place to be.
