Miami Welcomes Times Square – City Approves Electronic Billboards With 5-0 Vote

Looks like Miami will continue to be the “Bright Lights, Big City” of the South.  The Miami City Commission, earlier today, approved a change in a zoning ordinance which would allow developer Marc Siffin to erect a pair of electronic billboards atop an eight-story parking garage next to the Adrienne Arsht Center which is located in the Arts + Entertainment District of Miami.  According to the Miami Herald’s report, Siffin will pay an annual permitting fee of $2.2M to the city and has agreed to contribute $8M toward the construction of Museum Park as part of a concession package.

2 Bedroom Miami Foreclosure at Blue Condo – $197,000

A 2 bedroom/2.5 bath foreclosure at Blue Condo came onto the market Tuesday afternoon for $197,000.  I had a few moments in between showing appointments yesterday so I decided to stop by to take a look.  The unit has 1,158 square feet of interior, recessed lighting in the living room and both bedrooms, dark hard wood flooring throughout most of the condo and a balcony with a view of Biscayne Bay from the 16th floor.  All of the appliances, however, are missing so they will need to be replaced by the new buyer.  The condo comes with 1 assigned parking space.  The maintenance fee is $850 per month.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Blue Condo is now Fannie Mae approved so financing is available to qualified buyers.  If you have an interest in viewing this condo foreclosure at Blue Condo or have any questions, give me a call at 786-247-6332.

Blue Condominium 2 Bedroom Sells For $190K

Blue Condominium

A 2 bedroom foreclosure condo at Blue Condominium closed earlier this afternoon for $190,000.  This marks the lowest that a 2 bedroom in the building has ever sold.  Unit 1207 has 1,158 square feet of interior space and a view of Biscayne Bay.  It originally went under contract on August 10, 2009 but the closing was delayed for months due to problems that needed to be corrected with the deed.  Currently, there are twenty 2 bedroom short sales at Blue Condominium, two of which are listed for less than $190K.  Hopefully this recent sale will give banks the kick in the butt to start approving some of the short sales in the building.
