Jade Ocean Sunny Isles Beach Condo Tour

Samir from Miami Condo Realty — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:50:18 +0000

A little over a week ago, I was able to take my first tour of Jade Ocean – a condominium in Sunny Isles Beach. Sunny Isles Beach is an incorporated city located North of Bal Harbour and just South of Golden Beach. Many of the condominiums built along the ocean in Sunny Isles Beach are luxury condominiums and some of the finest buildings built in South Florida. Jade Ocean is no exception. Jade Ocean was designed by Carlos Ott. He also designed Jade Beach which opened a year prior.

I was very impressed with what I saw at the Jade Ocean. The building is directly on the ocean so you can imagine all of the views would be incredible. All apartments in the building have ocean views. Most have also intracoastal views. The building is also created entirely of glass which maximizes the views of the ocean. The building at the time I visited had an estimated 25% closing rate. I expect this rate to go up rapidly now that the building is opened up more for touring. Also model units were in the process of being put together to give buyers and idea of what is possible in these units. Pricing has also been reduced from preconstruction pricing in order to facilitate closings and new sales. Here are the photos of Jade Ocean:

While I was in the building I also had a unique opportunity to tour the penthouse apartment. There are only two condominiums at the very top and both of the apartments were already under contract and expected to close. So expect these two units to never be available at least for 5-10 years. Here are the photos of the North facing penthouse:

I wanted to let all of you readers know about what I have been working on for the last few weeks. I am in the middle of a complete redesign for Miami Condo Realty and you can see an example on one of my other niche property websites for MiamiWaterfrontCondos.com. I have decided that the layout I finalize will be ported over to all of our real estate focused sites in South Florida. It will be a great opportunity to build brand awareness through our background skins which will be visible on all of the sites.

Marquis Miami Condo – Video Tour

Samir from Miami Condo Realty — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:51:41 +0000

In May of 2009 I took a few tours of Marquis Miami Condo just as the building had opened to brokers. Marquis Condos is a brand new luxury Downtown Miami Condo which is one of the tallest condominium projects ever built south of New York and which is expected to open this month. I was able to take many photos of Marquis which I posted earlier and I did take my video camera in to take some video as well. The video I shot is below and I will reset the video embed once YouTube enables the HD on this file. Also please keep in mind that this video was taken in May of 2009 so some of the common areas did not have furniture, etc.

Enjoy in HD:

Quantum on the Bay #2815 – $399,000 – Miami Waterfront Condo – Best Deal in the Building!

Samir from Miami Condo Realty — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:43:50 +0000

Update: This unit has been sold.

So I had to take a moment to make all of our readers aware of one of our listings which we believe to be a great value at Quantum on the Bay. Unit 2815 is a fully upgraded 2 Bedroom and Den in the North Tower with unobstructed Biscayne Bay views. It is 1460 sq ft and this unit unlike the developer units has been upgraded with Travertine floors throughout, high-end window treatments, lighting throughout and the den has been enclosed and can be used as a third bedroom. This unit was originally purchased by the seller directly from the builder for $462,000 and then upgraded. We are currently asking $399,000 for a quick sale. This is a great deal for an end-user who is looking for a turnkey condo in a new building in the greater Downtown area. For showings call Samir Patel at 305-213-0336.

Here are the photos:

Marquis Condos – Downtown Miami Condos

Samir from Miami Condo Realty — Thu, 14 May 2009 06:02:28 +0000

MARQUIS is here! Well almost. Marquis Condo is just a few weeks away from beginning closings and during the last week I had a few chances to get into the building and get my fix. I have been dying to get into this building. Marquis is located at 1100 Biscayne Blvd and stands 67 stories tall (the second tallest residential building in Miami, behind the Four Seasons) across from Museum Park and Biscayne Bay. I was extremely excited to finally get in with my clients over the last week to look at many of the floorplans. I had a chance to preview 1 bedroom with dens, 2 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms and even an incredible 4 bedroom. Marquis is the last Downtown Miami Condo to open and the last in the Biscayne Wall which consists of Ten Museum Park, Marina Blue and 900 Biscayne Bay. Unlike many of the other developments built in Miami recently, Marquis includes only 306 exclusive residences and a boutique hotel within the building. The Hotel is named TEMPO Miami and is a RockResorts® Hotel. This is a great feature for when you have visiting friends from out of town. You can put them up in the hotel and still be close enough. The hotel only consists of 56 rooms and is located between the 3rd and 14th floors so I wouldn’t expect the hotel patrons to be in the way of the full time residents of Marquis. Marquis also will house a signature restaurant and I hear that a major chef is coming to the building. I won’t disclose who until it’s official but its big! So the first impression I had of the building was as I entered the lobby. There is a valet entrance with separate lobbies for the residents and also for the hotel. As we entered the lobby I noticed that every inch of the lobby was covered in some material. The walls were clad with Marble, Stone and Wood. A great feature is the private elevators to most lines in the building. We took the private elevator up to one of the floors and we took a look at the two bedroom one-story units which was a flow through unit offering both East and West views like most units in the building. I also was able to see a huge 4 bedroom on the North East corner and a large 3 bedroom on the South East corner. The views were mind-blowing from all units. The kitchens were very sleek with all Viking appliances, and the spacious master baths were appointed with Duravit and KWC fixtures. The terraces were huge and all living spaces had minimum 10-foot ceilings with 20-foot ceilings in some areas. The interior doors were also impressive, they went all the way up to the ceiling. Anyway here are the photos:

3 Bedroom Condos in Miami for under $200,000? Here they are!

Samir from Miami Condo Realty — Mon, 11 May 2009 03:40:00 +0000

Where to buy a 3 bedroom condo in Miami for around $200,000? We have it. Altos de Miami is on sale! Recently I took a personal tour of Altos de Miami with a close friend who is the exclusive broker for the new developer. Altos de Miami is a brand new condominium development in an area I would consider Gables/Grove. It is centrally located with easy access to Downtown Miami to the East, Coconut Grove to the South, Coral Gables to the South West and Jackson Memorial to the North.

I was not very familiar with the area prior to taking my tour but I discovered the location to be convenient, pricing to be much affordable and the construction to be good quality. You get floor-to-ceiling glass and terraces in most units which is great because you have panoramic views of the Downtown Miami skyline. I actually thought it would have been interesting if the building had been built many years ago residents would have been able to see all the construction cranes working vigorously on the skyline. So the building offers on-site parking, security, a small gym, on-site retail, and a huge sun deck. There is no swimming pool in the building but that is good I guess as that keeps maintenance costs low. Pricing on 1 bedrooms begins from $99,900, 2 bedrooms from $159,900, 3 bedrooms from $182,900, and two-story penthouses from $197,900. And the best part – this is developer pricing! So no messy short-sales or foreclosures to deal with. Call me to schedule a personal tour – Samir Patel – Miami Condo Realty, Inc. at 305-213-0336.

ICON Brickell Condo Fannie-Mae Approved!

Samir from Miami Condo Realty — Sun, 03 May 2009 17:12:07 +0000

ICON Brickell Condo is Fannie-Mae Approved! At least tower one is according to the new list published by Fannie-Mae on their website efanniemae.com – take a look. Looks like Related Group is working over-time to get these projects approved. They recently received Fannie-Mae approval on 500 Brickell as well. This means that ICON Brickell now qualifies for conventional lending from the major lenders as long as the buyer is credit-worthy and the loan amount is within the Fannie-Mae approved loan limits. This is good news for Related and should assist them in closing many more of the units. Prices at ICON Brickell start from the mid $200,000’s for studios. For showings call Samir Patel, Licensed Real Estate Broker of Miami Condo Realty, Inc. at 305-503-6183.

Here are photos from ICON Brickell:

ICON Brickell is one of my favorite developments. It is definitely like a vacation condominium development. Here are some of the features of ICON Brickell:

Unique, ultra-contemporary architectural design, a site surrounded by two parks, Biscayne Bay and Brickell Avenue
A ten-acre enclave and approximately 1,000 feet of water frontage (including the parks) to stroll, jog or find a shady spot and spread a blanket
A convenient dock in Biscayne Bay for residents and visitors to moor their vessels for a few moments or a few hours
A spectacular, two-story entrance and valet drop-off
Two full-service bayside restaurants
A spa and fitness center with amenities normally associated with a five-star resort spa
Smart building technology with “i.c.o.n.” (interactive concierge on demand network) in every unit
Wireless technology on the sky terrace and other common areas
Multi-level covered parking
Full-time concierge staff offering a full range of services includinghousekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, 24-hour valet service, mail and package reception
A two-acre, lushly landscaped outdoor living room and sanctuary more than 100 feet above Biscayne Bay
Row after row of stately japanese blueberry trees and lounge chairs that flank a spectacular 300-foot long swimming pool divided into a wading pool (where tables and chairs may sit in the water), a thermal hot tub and an Olympic-length lap and recreational pool overlooking Biscayne Bay
