Minimal Hurricane Damage

Even with the incredible gale force winds experienced during Hurricane Ivan, LaRiva incurred minimal damage, providing an awesome example for the future LaRiva towers in both strength of structure and quality of engineering.

Perdido Key residents and businesses are hard at work with clean-up and rebuilding efforts and although our own build schedule has been delayed by about 60 days, we are proud to report that LaRiva construction is back on track as well.

Ground breaking for the West and Center towers will take place on November 22.
