Wall Street comes to Fort Lauderdale: A Florida mansion with a fully functional stock trading floor just hit the market for $12.99 million. Take a look inside.
Wall Street comes to Fort Lauderdale: A Florida mansion with a fully functional stock trading floor just hit the market for $12.99 million. Take a look inside.
In addition to its six bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, the over-the-top home has a number of unusual "extras," including a dog spa and a fully functioning Wall Street-style stock trading floor.
Traders, take note: One Florida mansion comes fully equipped with everything you need to play the market from the comfort of your own home. And by that we mean it has a fully functioning, state-of-the-art trading floor.
Neil Schneider, MD and his wife Kerstin have listed their highly personalized Fort Lauderdale home for $12,995,000 with Niki Higgins of Douglas Elliman.
The home at 220 North Compass Drive is located in the Bay Colony neighborhood, which came in 32nd in ranking and review site Niche's 2019 Best Neighborhoods to Live in Fort Lauderdale list. The coastal home is about an hour north of Miami and an hour south of West Palm Beach.
The estate was custom-built and boasts extreme privacy — along with expansive waterfront views. It's located on a 250-foot intracoastal waterway and another 111-foot deep water canal.
Most notably, there's a state-of-the-art, fully functioning stock trading room. It has 10 monitors, a news ticker, and two separate internet providers hooked up. "If one [internet] carrier goes down, it automatically switches to another so you don’t miss productivity," the former owner tells the New York Post. Schneider is a nephrologist who began trading very seriously, for six hours a day, after retiring.
The home is coming nearly fully furnished, with almost all the artwork pictured — minus a select few "personal" pieces that the Schneiders are taking with them to their West Palm Beach condo.
"We spent a tremendous time going over the details," Schneider, who has owned the custom-built property for 16 years, told the New York Post. "We feel [the amenities] belong there — we feel like [they're] part of the house."
Schneider also added that the ideal buyer for his home — which took two years to plan, two years to build, and another year to furnish — will be "a detail-oriented person in the financial industry."
