DAN MARINO & LAS OLAS RIVERHOUSE

Dolphins legend Dan Marino has signed on for Fort Lauderdale's Las Olas River House and will be promoting the condominium project as an owner.

Marino has signed a contract to purchase one of the 287 units at the 42-story luxury tower: "We originally stopped in the sales center as buyers shopping the property because we love the ambience and nonstop activity of downtown Fort Lauderdale. My wife and I wanted a 'weekend pad' for ourselves and our friends".

The project is under construction at 333 Las Olas Way and had buyers for about 65 percent of the units as of December, according to a securities filing by Tarragon. The New York-based real estate investors own a 70 percent share in the project, backing Zipes, the lead developer.

Units in the main tower, home of the Marino unit, are selling for more than $1 million. The first tower will finish next summer, and Tarragon said it has an estimated sellout value of more than $260 million.
