Inside ECHO Brickell: Construction Tour Of The $42 Million Carlos Ott Penthouse
ECHO Brickell is topping off this week and we were lucky enough to be the first to get a hard hat tour of the 57 story project, including the Carlos Ott penthouse. The penthouse covers the entire 56th & 57th floor and is the most dramatic, most expensive penthouse in the history of Brickell.
With over 10,000 interior square feet, the residence will have 4 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, a den, fitness center, service suite and 30 foot indoor lap pool and spa overlooking the Biscayne Bay. In the video, you can already see the dramatic 14 foot ceilings and double height living room, giving the living room a 28 foot ceiling with floor to ceiling windows. The project will offer top of the line biometric security for the elevators, a dramatic 50 million gallon fish tank in the lobby and round the clock concierge services. The penthouse is custom designed by Carlos Ott and is priced at $42.2 million.
Here is a video of our hard hat tour of the penthouse. Please remember that this is a raw video of the tour and the property is still very much a construction site.
Here is a virtual tour of what the property will look like once finished.
Stay tuned to the blog as we post construction tours of other units to celebrate ECHO Brickell’s milestone! There are 13 remaining purchase opportunities with prices starting at $2 million.
One Thousand Museum Sells $30 Million In December 2016
Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum closed out 2016 with a splash! They signed $30 million worth of new contracts in December alone. While the sales team was hard at work, the construction team was also toiling away. The vertical construction of the project has reached the halfway point, the developer confirms.
Louis Birman said, “The ($30 Million) December sales illustrate continued confidence in the Downtown Miami corridor as a world-class cultural center. Buyers are gravitating towards projects that are well under construction, and this continues to show proof that ultra-high-net-worth buyers move capital to the strength and security of the U.S. and into cities that have a global appeal, like Miami.”
Here is a photo that they shared, showing how tall the tower is getting. Beautiful!

Jade Signature Tops Off at 636 Feet Tall With 57 Floors Plus 3-Story Underground Parking Garage

Jade Signature has topped off at 57 stories and 636 feet tall. The construction has progressed at around one floor per week and also boasts a 3 story underground parking garage that is only 40 feet from the coastline…something that has never been achieved.
The tower is on track for completion in late 2017 with 192 residences designed by Herzog & de Meuron, Parisian interior design firm PYR led by Pierre-Yves Rochon and landscape architect Raymond Jungles.
Now that the external structure is in place, you can see the exterior columns that allow for true flow-through interiors. That makes sure each residence has an ocean view. The large overhangs reach out to provide adequate shade from the sun, resulting in an expanded living area of 30% more than the interior space.
Once completed, the building will feature three floors of common spaces for all ages. There will be an entertainment center with billiards, beach bar and grill, a spa featuring a co-ed hamam, cold rain shower, oceanfront massage beds, a yoga deck surrounded by a Zen garden, teen tech lounge, and a toddler sensory and reading center.
Currently there are a few apartments remaining including a selection of three to five bedroom residences as well as double-height sky villas and the penthouses. The residences span from 3,465 to 11,661 square feet and are offered for $4.8 million to $33 million for the upper penthouse. Check out the penthouse views below as well as the drone video we made.
If you’re looking for a great deal – and who isn’t these days? – look no further. Earlier today, I reduced the price of an already well-priced 3 bedroom condo at Trump Palace $150,000, from $2.25M to $2.1M. Unit 3604 is now PRICED TO SELL and should do so quickly given the level of finishes and upgrades in this beautifully renovated and fully furnished 3 bedroom residence. The condo is in impeccable condition, with renovations and furnishings totaling $800,000. The most recent 04 line condo at Trump Palace sold in 2014 for $2M; that unit – unit 3904 – was three floors higher but had no renovation work upon sale.
Unit 3604 at Trump Palace is a spacious, flow-through residence with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and 2,167 interior square feet. It boasts 2 large balconies offering direct views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Property features include: renovated kitchen and bathrooms, Nest thermostat, Sonos surround sound system, private elevators, 10-foot high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and designer furniture and furnishings. See photos below and VIDEO TOUR of Trump Palace #3604.
Trump Palace is an oceanfront, luxury condominium development located at 18101 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Upscale amenities at Trump Palace include: full-service concierge, gatehouse entry with 24-hour attendant, an 8,000 square foot spa and fitness center, temperature-controlled lagoon pool, two temperature-controlled lap pools, Jacuzzi, waterfalls, snack bar and grill, complimentary valet parking, tennis courts, and more.

Drone Footage of the One Thousand Museum Construction Site
Below is a drone video of the One Thousand Museum construction site as of this past Monday, September 5th, the date that the footage was shot. It showcases the breathtaking views that condos at One Thousand Museum will offer as well as provides a bird’s-eye view of the progress that has been made thus far to the tower.
One Thousand Museum Construction Tour
Enjoying the view from One Thousand Museum with developer Gregg Covin
Yesterday morning, I was given the opportunity to tour the One Thousand Museumconstruction site with co-developer Gregg Covin. It was quite a treat to finally step foot inside a development that I have followed so closely over the past three and a half years. As a resident of Park West, I walk and drive by the One Thousand Museum construction site on a daily basis; to admire its impressive form from the street is one thing, but to tour it and see the building’s lines and curves from the inside looking out is quite another.
As of yesterday morning, construction at One Thousand Museum had reached the 19th floor. While on my guided tour, I was permitted to go as high as the 15th floor. Even from just the 15th floor, however, the views were breathtaking. Along with three townhouse units, each with impressive 20-foot ceilings in the living and family rooms, I also had a chance to tour two half floor residences, one located on the south side of the building and the other on the north side. When viewing the half floor residence located on the north side of the building, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of separation the residence had from its neighbors to the north at Ten Museum Park. From street-level, One Thousand Museum and Ten Museum Park are just about connected, but the residences themselves have good separation due to the pools that wrap around at the top of each building’s pedestal.
If all goes according to plan, One Thousand Museum will be topped off this time next year. While touring the building yesterday, Covin shared with me that hopes to top-off the building by August 2017 and then obtain a TCO about 13 months thereafter. Until then, One Thousand Museum is a masterpiece in the making.

Check Out Construction at Privé, Which Has Topped Off & Finishes Next Summer
Photos by Sean McCaughan.
On Thursday, we at Miami Condo Investments went to check out the construction progress at Privé at Island Estates. The twin 16-story towers, designed by Sieger Suarez, reached their full heights on the 27th, which the project announced on its Facebook page. Both of them. So, what else to say about these twinsies?
Well, they are on their own private island behind three levels of security. First you enter Williams Island in Aventura, then the gatehouse at Island Estates, which is an island off Williams Island, and finally, the security of Prive itself. Every unit has private elevator access, which means views to the east and west, and often north and south as well. Being on an island, in the middle of its bay, Alcatraz-style, Prive has really expansive views south to Miami and Miami Beach, east to the ocean, and north to the rest of Aventura. It will also have a marina, two pools, a tennis court, a children’s playroom, a jogging trail, a nature path, a private jetty, and expansive indoor and outdoor public spaces. The indoor public spaces alone will total approximately 70,000 square feet, with huge fitness centers and spas in each tower, social rooms, teen social lounges, a private dining room, a wine room and cigar lounge, a business center, and guest suites.
Privé is scheduled to be completed next summer, and is currently over 60% sold. Units range from 2,621 square feet and up, and are selling for about $850 per square foot to over $1,200. And yes, the sidewalk permit situation is all taken care of.
