Records show developers scored a $25 million construction loan from Mutual of Omaha Bank in December 2014. The project was completed earlier this year, according to the release.

The community offers studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 529 square feet to 1,275 square feet. The rent for an average unit of 806 square feet is $1,930 a month or about $2.39 per square foot, according to the release.

The Queue is one of various recently built multifamily projects in downtown Fort Lauderdale, including Amaray Las Olas, a 30-story luxury apartment building. Eden Multifamily, led by Jay Jacobson, is planning to build a 374-unit apartment building. – Amanda Rabines
