By September 30, 2005January 16th, 2026No Comments

Forté Development announced that Forté Luxe, its exclusive 17-residence luxury waterfront community in Jupiter, has officially topped off, marking a significant milestone as construction continues toward its anticipated summer 2026 completion.

More than 150 members of the construction crew and project team gathered on Sept. 26 to mark the milestone, including representatives from Forté Development, Collins Development, KAST Construction, Interiors by Steven G., Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, architect Alfonso Jurado, and additional partners involved in the project’s progress. A tree and flag were displayed at the site to honor the tradition and celebrate the milestone.

“Reaching this milestone is an exciting moment for everyone involved,” said Marius Fortelni, founder and CEO of Forté Development. “Forté Luxe is taking shape exactly as envisioned, and we look forward to welcoming our first residents next year.”

Set on a private peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Intracoastal Waterway, Forté Luxe will feature just 17 multi-level residences ranging from 3,550 to more than 5,074 square feet, priced from $3.975 million to $8 million. Each home is designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive private terraces, rooftop decks, private garages, and direct elevator access. Residences will include European-style cabinetry, Quartz countertops with waterfall islands, engineered hardwood or large-format porcelain flooring, spa-like bathrooms, and walk-in closets.

Community amenities will include 13 private boat slips for vessels up to 60 feet, a resort-style swimming pool, sun deck, and outdoor entertainment areas, with no fixed bridges providing direct access to the Jupiter Inlet. The development is also pet-friendly.

Architecture is led by Alfonso Jurado; interiors by Interiors by Steven G.; general contracting by KAST Construction; development by Forté Development and Collins Development; financing arranged by Cooper Horowitz and provided by construction lender Kriss Capital; and exclusive sales and marketing by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

Forté Luxe is located at 12450 Crystal Cove Place, Jupiter, FL 33469. The Forté Luxe Sales Center is open by appointment only at 11911 N US 1 #102, North Palm Beach, FL 33408. For more information, call 561-800-4622.

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!
