An Iowa-based company agreed to provide development consulting, marketing and managing services to the developer of a high-rise senior housing project in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Des Moines-based LCS will help Ocean Land Investments develop and market Riverwalk Residences of Las Olas, a 42-story building that would include units for independent living, assisted living and memory care.

Construction of Riverwalk Residences is expected to start in the spring of 2019 and to conclude in the summer of 2021.
