Now that we’ve seen a video of the amenities at 900 Biscayne Bay, let’s take a look at an actual unit in the building. The video above will show you an 06 line located on the 33rd floor. This is one of my favorite floor plans at 900 Biscayne Bay. It’s a 3 bedroom + den/4 bath condo with 2,335 square feet of interior and a 639 square foot terrace. The unit has a direct view of Biscayne Bay the moment you walk through the double entry doors from your private elevator.
900 Biscayne Bay condos still remains my favorite of all of the condominium high-rises built in Miami within the past ten years. The quality of the building and units is unmatched and it has some of the most spectacular amenities of any building that I’ve encountered. I think after viewing the high definition video below you’ll see exactly why I feel that way.
At this time, about 80 percent of the units at 900 Biscayne Bay have closed or are under contract. The building is Fannie Mae approved. Contact us at 305-428-3860 if you have an interest in viewing 900 Biscayne Bay in person or would like to discuss developer inventory.
Most of you have probably already begun to realize that the utilization of video is becoming an increasingly important part of our business. We are currently in the process of developing a new website that will showcase these videos. Our hope is that a video library of properties and buildings will allow non-local buyers to narrow down their options prior to arriving in South Florida in a way that words and pictures cannot convey. This will allow them to best utilize their time while in town and find the real estate that best suits their needs. Meanwhile, the Miami Condo Investments website will continue to improve and provide the content that allows buyers and sellers to research the South Florida condo market like no other.
Above, you’ll find a video tour of Marina Blue. It’s a thorough, high-quality video of the common areas and amenities in the building. In time, we hope to do the same with other condo developments in South Florida. Oftentimes, approval from the condo board or property manager is required in order to capture such footage. Please contact us if you’re a property manager or sit on the board of a well known condo development in South Florida. We’ll cover the expense and be sure that the building is thoroughly captured as is achieved in the video below.

Marina Blue 2 Bedroom on the 54th Floor – Video
For those of you looking for a spacious 2 bedroom with a breathtaking view, look no further. We have a very well priced listing at Marina Blue located on the 54th floor with views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Downtown Miami, Key Biscayne and the Miami Beach skyline. It’s a 2 bedroom/2.5 bath condo with 1,663 square feet of interior and 10-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling, hurricane-resistant windows. This is a “decorator-ready” unit. The list price is $540,000 or $325 per square foot. Within the past six months, eight 2 bedroom condos at Marina Blue have closed. These eight units sold in the range of $289-$431 per square foot. In case you’re wondering, the one that sold for $431 per square foot was also a “decorator-ready” unit.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to see just how well priced this listing is compared to other recently built large 2 bedroom condos not only in Downtown Miami but also Brickell and Brickell Key. I did a search in the MLS using the following criteria:
2 Bedroom
Minimum of 1,600 square feet
Located in Downtown Miami, Brickell or Brickell Key
Building completed in the year 2000 or later
Our listing is the third best priced condo in those areas using the above search parameters and it’s not a short sale or foreclosure. The best priced listing is a short sale at Courts at Brickell Key with 1,626 square feet of interior and an asking price of $499,000. The second best priced unit is a foreclosure at Ten Museum Park with 1,794 square feet of interior and an asking price of $531,000. Neither has a view that even compares to unit 5404 at Marina Blue. Take a look at the video below to get an idea of what it feels like to live in the sky and enjoy one of the best views in Miami.
If you’re a buyer and would like view this 2 bedroom condo in person, please call 305-428-3860 to schedule a showing. Broker participation is welcome.
