The square footage seems a lot less than 1128 SF. Are they counting the second floor loft space that opens to the 1st level as if it were usable space?
No, I don’t believe the developer counted the air space at 1060 Brickll. I know the developers of Infinity at Brickell and Brickell on the River South counted the air space but I don’t believe this was the case at 1060 Brickell.
I looked at buying this type of loft at 1060 before I changed my mind and brought my loft at infinity.
So I know at that time he 1060 developer is adding the open (air) space in the sf for their lofts units, just like infinity does.
If the 1060 developer says they don’t count that open space dont believe them until you measure the unit for yourself.
Here is the floor plan for the unit:
It appears they aren’t including air space but they are including the terrace space. I’m in a different unit and the floor plan for my unit is the same when I measured the interior to see if my furniture would fit.
Not counting air space, but counting terrace is unethical practice, to say the least. Marquis lofts also count air space. That’s why I bought at 900 Biscayne, instead of Marquis (though 900 is also not without some issues). I would say rule of thumb is “reduce whatever developer is advertising by 10%” and you’ll be pretty close to the actual footage.
somethning that i remember that the 1060 saleswoman told me, she said that the maint fee for their lofts unit have an addition maint fee added like $100 to $200 per month more cause they are lofts and not flats, to cover the cost for cleaning the windows said thus. I would confirm this to see if this is still true, That was another reason I bought at infinty rather 1060. Infinity doesn’t charge another additional maint fee for their lofts (over their flats)
Thanks for the feedback guys. I’m looking to move out of a 2/2 at One Broadway that’s less than 1,200 SF interior. But so many comparable-sized condo units are just not designed to maximize functional/usable space. Even the 1/1s over 1,000SF seem a lot smaller.
Lofts are tricky. For both taxes and maintenance, it seems like Loft owners pay more than their fair share because they’re assessed on phantom SF.
