Espirito Santo Penthouse Foreclosure – Condo Deal of the Month
While searching the MLS Friday afternoon I came across a bi-level 3 bedroom/3 bath penthouse foreclosure at Espirito Santo that was extremely well priced. Not surprisingly, the listing agent only found the time in his busy schedule to upload two interior shots. Compelled to check it out for myself, I quickly made it over to Espirito Santo.
Unit 3405, the 3 bedroom penthouse foreclosure, has 1,934 square feet across two levels and a balcony located on the first floor. The condo foreclosure faces south and resides on the 34th and 35th floors. Condos with balconies are found only on the south, east and north sides of Espirito Santo.
Below is a video I shot of the first level which is where the living room, kitchen, third bedroom, third bathroom and balcony are found:
The following video contains footage of the second level which is where the laundry room, second bedroom, second bathroom, master bedroom and master bathroom reside:
As always, I also shot an array of pictures of the 3 bedroom condo and wanted to share them with everyone.
The MLS states that the maintenance fees are $1,000 per month but my guess is that they’re closer to $1,300 per month. (Once again, the listing agent was probably too busy to pick up the phone to find out the correct HOA fee.) This penthouse condo at Espirito Santo has a lot of potential. At this price, the buyer will likely do a complete renovation and create a spectacular penthouse. The asking price of this condo is $799,900, or $414 per square foot. Unit 3405 previously sold for $1.46M in March 2007. There’s no doubt in mind that this penthouse will go for at least full asking price.

Jade Ocean Sunny Isles Beach Photo Tour – Common Areas
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to tour Jade Ocean located in Sunny Isles Beach. I’m a big fan of Jade Beach so I was very excited about taking a look at its sister project. The main difference between the two projects is that construction costs for Jade Ocean were much higher due to the building being constructed entirely of glass to capitalize on views. Each and every unit at Jade Ocean has a direct ocean view with floor to ceiling glass windows. Most condos at Jade Ocean also have intracoastal water views. The architect, Carlos Ott, did an outstanding job in designing both beachfront buildings.
Closings forJade Ocean started at in August of this year and, with the developer’s willingness to be realistic about prices in today’s market, there’s no doubt in my mind that the building will be a grand success just as Jade Beach. Closings for Jade Beach started in August 2008 and presently the developer only has 6 units remaining. With all the “doom and gloom” talk that’s out there, I call that a tremendous success. Jade Beach and Jade Ocean are both ultra-modern developments which emanate luxury. I guess you can say that buyers in any market know a good thing when they see it. Another added bonus is that Jade Beach and Jade Ocean are both Fannie Mae approved.

Penthouse at 1800 Club Sells for $170 Per Square Foot
The best condo deal that closed in the month of September actually wasn’t a short sale or foreclosure. Unit 3715 at 1800 Club was a developer unit that sold for $700,000, or $170 per square foot, on September 3, 2009. The 4 bedroom/4.5 bath penthouse condo has 4,120 square feet of interior and a 2,327 square foot bi-level rooftop terrace with a private Jacuzzi. Grant it, the penthouse faces southwest and only has partial views of Biscayne Bay, but I think the developer gave this sweet pad away at $170 per square foot.
Best Views in Miami – Part 4
I’ve saved the best for last. In my opinion, the penthouse at Marquis offers the best views of any condo building in Miami. Four Seasons Residences is a slightly taller building than Marquis but I’m definitely partial to the views from Park West, Downtown Miami and the Arts District over those offered from more southern neighborhoods such as Brickell. The fourth floor of this 4-story, 8,000 square foot penthouse has a spacious bedroom and large rooftop terrace with a dipping pool. The views are simply majestic. It’s amazing how minuscule some of the buildings look from the 66th floor. Take a look for yourself.
Be sure to also view the pictures of floors 1, 2 and 3 of this 4-story penthouse at Marquis:
Let’s continue onto the third floor of the four-story, 8,000 square foot penthouse at Marquis Residences. The entire third floor is comprised of the very spacious master bedroom, his and hers walk-in closets and master bathroom. The master bathroom has his and hers vanity; a walk-in, glass enclosed shower; a separate glass enclosed, steam shower and a Roman soaker tub with an amazing view that clears all of the buildings within sight.
The tour of the fourth and final floor will be published tomorrow. The views from the expansive rooftop terrace are second to none!
Be sure to view the pictures of floors 1 and 2 of this 4-story penthouse at Marquis:
The tour continues on the lowest level of the 4-story luxury penthouse at Marquis. Of the four floors, the lowest level is the most spacious with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a den with a large terrace, and a laundry room with side-by-side front-loading washer and dryer. I got a kick out of the three full-sized circuit breaker panels. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a condo with more than two.
The next two levels of this luxury penthouse are the most impressive of the four floors so stayed tuned.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to tour the penthouse condo at Marquis, a newly completed 67-story condo development in Downtown Miami. It was by far the most impressive condo that I have ever seen in Miami. The four-story condo has an astonishing 8,000 square feet of living space, 2,700 square feet of terrace, a private elevator within the unit and a pool on the rooftop terrace.
This penthouse is so massive that I decided to cover it in four different blog posts – one for each floor. The main entrance to the penthouse is located on the second level which is where we start the tour below…
