2200 N Ocean Dr

Unit S904 sits on the 9th floor of the south tower at Auberge Beach Residences & Spa, one of Fort Lauderdale's most architecturally significant oceanfront developments, designed by Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates. Three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and 3,200 square feet of finishes that need to read on screen as confidently as they do in person.

At a $37,000-per-month asking rate, prospective tenants are almost always relocating, evaluating from another city, and making the decision through a screen. The listing isn't a starting point for a showing. For most of these clients, the photography and aerial coverage are the showing.

The brief was deliberately broad: a complete visual library that could carry the listing across MLS, luxury rental platforms, the brokerage's website, social distribution, print collateral, and a property-specific microsite, all delivered inside a single tight production window.

Every interior in S904 is built around the ocean. Floor-to-ceiling glass on the east elevation, wraparound terraces, and a south-facing primary suite mean the same room photographs as four different spaces depending on the hour. We had to map the unit to the sun rather than the floor plan.

Aerial coverage of an Auberge tower at 9 stories carries its own constraints: coordinating drone windows around resort airspace, shoreline beach traffic, and the building's own security and concierge schedule. Twenty finished aerials had to land both the architecture of the tower and the position of S904 inside it.

Underneath the lighting and aerial work was a non-negotiable timeline: 113 finished, color-graded, retouched deliverables in five business days so the listing could go live before the next leasing window closed.
