Forté Development has officially secured a $60 million construction loan to continue building Forté Luxe, its exclusive luxury waterfront community in Jupiter, Florida. The financing, which closed on July 29, 2025, was provided by Kriss Capital and arranged by Michael, Jordan, and David Horowitz of Cooper Horowitz. Replacing an earlier $47.5 million facility, this new funding package allows the developer to ramp up vertical construction, keeping the project on track for a summer 2026 delivery. Located at 12450 Crystal Cove Place, Forté Luxe is poised to become one of South Florida’s most coveted addresses.
Architectural Elegance and Resort-Style Living
Designed to embrace both privacy and panoramic views, Forté Luxe will feature just 17 multi-level residences situated on a private peninsula surrounded by the Intracoastal Waterway. Home sizes range from 3,550 to over 5,000 square feet and are priced between $3.975 million and $8 million. Each residence includes floor-to-ceiling windows, rooftop decks, expansive terraces, private garages, and elevator access. The interiors feature high-end finishes such as European-style cabinetry, quartz countertops with waterfall edges, spa-like bathrooms, and custom walk-in closets. Community amenities include a resort-style swimming pool, waterfront lounge areas, and 13 private boat slips for vessels up to 60 feet. This creates a seamless blend of natural beauty and refined living.

A Unique Development with a Backstory
Architecture for Forté Luxe is spearheaded by Alfonso Jurado, with interior design by Interiors by Steven G., and KAST Construction serving as general contractor. Sales and marketing are managed exclusively by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. Furthermore, the initial financing for Forté Luxe was secured through a $47.5 million loan in 2024 from 360 Capital Funding. That early commitment reflected buyer demand and enabled the project to gain rapid momentum. Forté Luxe’s rare positioning opposite Jupiter Island offers residents unobstructed views and direct water access with no fixed bridges, a coveted feature in Florida’s luxury housing market. With summer 2026 in sight, Forté Luxe is now entering its most exciting chapter yet.
