Forté Development Celebrated Groundbreaking of its Forté Luxe Luxury Boutique Waterfront Community in Jupiter on June 28

On June 28, Forté Development celebrated the groundbreaking of its Forté Luxe, a luxury boutique waterfront community in Jupiter, Florida, consisting of just 15 multi-level residences surrounded on three sides by sparkling Intracoastal Waterway views. It is located at 12450 Crystal Cove Place, Jupiter, FL 33469.

In attendance at the event were Marius Fortelni, founder and CEO of Forté Development; Caprice Weber, executive vice president and managing director at Douglas Elliman Development Marketing; Village of Tequesta Council Members Laurie Brandon and Rick Sartory; Martin County Assistant County Administrator Matthew Graham and other local dignitaries. With pricing from $4.35 million to over $8 million, Forté Luxe is slated to be complete in March 2025.

Refreshments and light bites were served, and VIP guests spoke before the ceremonial shovels took their first dig into the ground for the commemorative groundbreaking.

“Situated in a prime waterfront location, Forté Luxe is a unique luxury development in beautiful Jupiter, Florida,” said Fortelni. “Forté Luxe presents a wonderful opportunity for the luxury buyer to enjoy the laid-back yet elegant Jupiter lifestyle, just minutes from the arts, golf, culture, dining and shopping of the Palm Beaches.”

With architecture by Alfonso Jurado and interior design by The Decorators Unlimited, Forté Luxe is located on a stunning peninsula of land directly on the Intracoastal Waterway in Jupiter. KAST Construction is the general contractor for the project, and Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the exclusive sales team.

Sporting contemporary, modern architecture and interior design aesthetic, the pet-friendly community will offer 13 private boat docks for up to 60-foot vessels (residents can purchase dockage), and a private resort-style swimming pool and sun deck with entertainment areas.

Residences will range from 3,550 to over 5,000 square feet of living area. Features will include:

  • Expansive great room interiors showcasing captivating views through full-height glass doors and windows
  • Private garage with grand entry featuring unrestricted views of the beach line and water

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
