Fortune Christie’s International Real Estate, led by CEO Edgardo Defortuna and Managing Broker Ruth Palma, today announced a strategic partnership with Tyler Tuchow of Kensington & Company Real Estate. This collaboration marks a natural progression in Fortune Christie’s northward expansion, as the firm establishes a new office on Las Olas Boulevard.
Tyler Tuchow, founder of Kensington & Company Real Estate and now Managing Partner of the Fortune Christie’s Las Olas office, brings over 20 years of experience in the Fort Lauderdale area. The office at 1038 East Las Olas Boulevard, marking Fortune Christie’s International Real Estate’s 21st location, is already operating under the new partnership. It will undergo renovations and celebrate its grand opening upon completion this fall.
The new Fort Lauderdale office, coming on the heels of a recent opening in Boca Raton, is a strategic part of Fortune Christie’s ongoing northern advancement. “Fort Lauderdale represents a key milestone in our strategic growth,” said Edgardo Defortuna, CEO of Fortune International Group. “By establishing this office in a pivotal market, we not only build on our past successes but also enhance our portfolio in South Florida. This strategic placement offers strong synergies with our planned and existing projects and development sales, bolstering our operations across the region.”
“We were searching for the right strategic partner—one with extensive experience in residential, commercial, and pre-construction development sales—and we found it in Tyler Tuchow,” said Ruth Palma, Vice President of Sales and Managing Broker of Fortune Christie’s. “Partnering with Tyler and Kensington & Company not only enhances our capabilities but also broadens our expansion possibilities. Their local knowledge, coupled with our extensive network, forms an unparalleled force.”
“I have been approached by every major brokerage looking to expand their presence in Fort Lauderdale and particularly on Las Olas Boulevard,” said Tyler Tuchow, “however, I chose to partner with Fortune Christie’s International Real Estate because of their comprehensive network and the unique synergies they share with Fortune International Group, offering unmatched advantages.”
