Richard, I don’t think there is a hotel component in this building. But I agree with you on everything else. This is one of the best buildings in all of South Florida.

This building is my “neighbor,” and I’m very relieved the developer was able to complete construction of it. The waterfront promenade they created is very nice, and I look forward to seeing lights on in the units some day soon as residents or hotel guests begin coming in.

This building is architecturally interesting, and it has the potential for becoming an icon of the Miami skyline. It stands out very prominently and strikingly as one drives west from Miami Beach on the MacArthur Causeway.

Ok first off Starwood property, sales perhaps….think Hotel folks, as Starwood is more apt. for this in the area than another tower of Condos….As far as cutting corners of course they did as they faced bankruptcy in the end which is why the other projects are a NO GO!!! (hence the Corus to starwood debockle)…Just like the “Something about Mary House being saved as a restaurant-just another false promise by developers in the magic city…Now you see it now you don’t…

As far as building is concerned just another oversupply of condo units to be delivered to a neighborhood still years away from realizing its potential…TGIR-Thank God for Regaldo maybe he will curtail this overabundance-as far as Miami 21 think the 22nd century….Oh and for all you awaiting the Bay market did anyone see any ground breaking yet, nothing filed with DERM;-been six or seven months since you all got on me about that one….the only thing to open up there is a hot dog cart and a Hamburger stand….go figure…whats next a mobile Methodone clinic….

jcrimes,

I was told not to discuss pricing on the blog but those townhouses are very aggressively priced. Feel free to give me a call if you’d like to discuss. 786-247-6332

nice building, although i think the developer took a few shortcuts by the end of construction (i need to walk thru and get a better look in the units).

lucas – what’s going on with pricing for the first level townhomes?

Kramer,
“Such an odd location for such a spectacular building”
Not really. Just take an hour or two off your time and go there one evening. Spend a few minutes in Pace Park (right now the N bayshore drive is undergoing major upgrading and beautification and expect some construction hassles) and then walk around Paramount Bay. At the end, you will realize that there is no other spot better for this building right next to the water/bay.
Yes, that empty lot next to Marina Blue belongs to the same guy and reserved for ‘Paramount Park’. If Paramount Bay would have been constructed there, the same magic could not have been created. Downtown/Park West does not have the queit suburban charm that this location offers and yet a just a few blocks from the center of it all.
