Elysee Condos – Edgewater’s First Ultra-Luxury Condo Development

Elysee Miami Condos mini scale model

With new condo developments being announced seemingly on a weekly basis, there are few that excite me these days. Elysee -a recently announced, ultra-luxury tower with just 100 total units – is one that does. Elysee exudes exclusivity and elegance in every way imagined. The 57-story condo development will be located directly on the water in Edgewater at 700 Northeast 23rd Street and include 3, 4, and 5 bedroom floor plans ranging from 2,844 to 3,979 interior square feet. With the exception of the penthouse – which will cover an entire floor and offer full 360-degree views – each of the units below it will span a half floor and offer full 180-degree views (east-south-west or east-north-west). As you can see in the mini scale model above, the floor plans get wider as you go up the building. Every residence at Elysee will have private elevators, 8- or 10-foot deep balconies, and 10- or 11-foot high ceilings with walls of glass all around to showcase the spectacular water and city views.

Most importantly – at least to me – Elysee will be a white-glove service building (think St. Regis). Not enough can be said about how exclusive and differentiating it is for a building to offer such pampering services to its residents. Along with the full-service concierge, Elysee will feature lavish full-floor amenities on both the 7th and 30th floors. The 7th floor will include a 75-foot resort pool; outdoor summer kitchen & BBQ; men’s and women’s spa with sauna, steam shower, and private massage rooms; fitness center; yoga studio; children’s playroom; and blow dry bar.

As if that weren’t enough, the 30th floor – which residents will be able to rent out for formal events – will feature a great room with grand piano and sweeping, unobstructed views of the city and water; chef’s kitchen; chef’s table with indoor and outdoor seating; grand dining room with seating for 30 people; theater room with 4K projector; full lounge bar; business center; resident wine storage; and game room.

Prices for the half floor units at Elysee start from $1.67M.  That amounts to just $587 per square foot! Given the caliber of building that Elysee will be, that has bargain written all over it. There are few condo developments in Miami to get excited about these days, but Elysee is the exception. It will set the bar not only for condo developments throughout Edgewater but throughout all of Miami.

Elysee was soft-launched late last week. However, it won’t officially be released to the public until October once the sales center is built. This is the time to get in at Friends & Family pricing. Contact me for details.

One Thousand Museum Bulldozes Through 50 Percent Under Contract Mark

One Thousand Museum dinner event

When it comes to sales as of late, One Thousand Museum has been kicking ass and taking names. While attending a VIP dinner event held at the One Thousand Museum sales gallery last Thursday, I learned that over 50 percent of the units at One Thousand Museum are now under contract. And I’m talking hard contracts here, each with deposits received and past their 15-day rescission period. From what I heard that night, sales had hovered around the 30 percent mark for a while but then, in the weeks following Art Basel and the developer’s brilliantly timed groundbreaking ceremony, it has been full speed ahead with no signs of slowing. Currently, the entry point to get in at One Thousand Museum is slightly over $5.5M, or $1,200 per square foot – although that may have changed since Thursday given that I learned yesterday that two new contracts were signed on Saturday. No word yet, however, as to which two units those might be. 50 percent under contract at this point is big news in and of itself, but what really blew my mind last Thursday night is that the developer already has six of the total eight full-floor residences under contract. The two remaining full-floor residences are priced slightly under $17.5M and $20M. With each having just under 10,000 interior square feet, those work out to be a little more than $1,750 and $2,000 per square foot respectively. That’s right folks, take a moment to process that small yet impactful piece of information and realize its significance, not only just for One Thousand Museum, but also for the Downtown Miami real estate market as a whole.

Since the beginning, I’ve been a huge believer in One Thousand Museum. It is great to see that buyers are finally starting to see One Thousand Museum for what it will one day become – a trophy property that will be revered by people from all over the world. Early last year, Wealth-X – “the world’s leading ultra high net worth (UHNW) intelligence and  prospecting firm” – compiled and published their top ten list of Billionaire Skyscraper Homes. Coming in at the number nine spot was One Thousand Museum. As you will see below, One Thousand Museum finds itself in very good company, not surprising given the fact that the tower was designed by one of the most prolific architects ever – Zaha Hadid.

  1. One Hyde Park (London) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$9,906
  2. 432 Park Avenue (New York City) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$6,742
  3. One57 (New York City) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$6,000
  4. South Bank Tower (London) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$3,300
  5. Tour Odéon (Monaco) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$8,900
  6. Opus Hong Kong (Hong Kong) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$10,740
  7. 56 Leonard (New York City) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$6,000
  8. Clermont Residences (Singapore) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$2,360
  9. One Thousand Museum (Miami) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$1,100
  10. One Madison (New York City) – Average Price Per Square Foot: US$5,000

For those who are unfamiliar with One Thousand Museum, be sure to watch the promo video below to see for yourself just how spectacular the luxury tower will look once completed. It will forever change the Miami skyline for the better and help catapult the city’s real estate market to even greater prominence around the world.

Below are two recently released renderings for One Thousand Museum along with a few shots of the development’s hologram box and a photo taken of the Luxe Living Realty agents who attended last Thursday’s exclusive dinner event. That night, Luxe Living Realty agents (myself included) were formally named sales ambassadors for the project, which, among other things, provides us with 24/7 access to the One Thousand Museum sales gallery. Yes, that means that if you have $49M burning a hole in your pocket, and feel compelled to schedule a 3am appointment to visit the sales center and write-up a contract for the full-floor, duplex penthouse, I would be able to accommodate you. I realize that the jet lag from those long, transoceanic flights can be horrible.

If you have any questions about One Thousand Museum and/or would like to learn more about pricing and availability, please call me on my cell phone at 786-247-6332 or contact me via email at [email protected].

A Tour of the Brickell Flatiron Sales and Design Gallery

Brickell Flatiron Sales and Design Gallery

Sometimes I feel like there aren’t enough days in the week to both sell real estate AND stay on top of the latest and greatest condo developments entering the market. Today, fortunately, I had time in my schedule to check out the interior design and finishes of one of the best – Brickell Flatiron. Actually, I was already quite familiar with the project but it’s one thing to sell a pre-construction condo development on paper and quite another to actually see and touch actual finishes that you can expect to find in units once they are delivered. This was my first opportunity to visit the Brickell Flatiron Sales and Design Gallery which opened on-site last month and was designed by American artist Julian Schnabel.

Brickell Flatiron Reception Area

As I sat in the reception area waiting for my tour to begin, I couldn’t help but think that Julian Schnabel did an amazing job in capturing British Colonial elegance with an interesting twist. Hopefully, that is the look he was going for. The interior design work in the reception area is to give you an idea of what you can expect to find in the Brickell Flatiron lobby and common areas.

Brickell Flatiron Master Bathroom Finishes

The master bathroom finishes for Brickell Flatiron remind me a lot of the bathroom finishes that you find at Epic Residences, not surprising given the fact that the developer of each building is one and the same – Ugo Colombo. That’s definitely not a bad thing. We’re talking marble floors and accents walls imported straight from Italy. Colombo is known for his attention to detail and knack for using only the finest materials.

Brickell Flatiron Kitchen Appliances and Finishes

First of all, I must say that I absolutely love the kitchens for Brickell Flatiron. The Snaidero cabinetry is second to none and includes an open/close feature at the push of a button along with interior backlighting. The open/close feature is really cool although I hope next year’s model will incorporate a speech recognition engine to do the work for you. After all, home automation is the future. The Miele refrigerator, in my opinion, is a welcomed change from the customary Sub-Zero refrigerator that we all come to expect from luxury condo developers. Off the top of my head, Biscayne Beach is the only other luxury condo development that is planning to deliver Miele refrigerators in place of the usual Sub-Zero.

Brickell Flatiron Sales and Design Gallery

For those unfamiliar, Brickell Flatiron is a luxury, pre-construction condo development which will be located in the heart of Brickell at 1001 South Miami Avenue. In my opinion, Brickell Flatiron is destined to follow in the footsteps of other bar-setting Colombo projects such as Santa Maria, Bristol Tower, Grovenor House, and Epic, and be considered one of the best condo developments in Miami, not only once it is completed but for many years to come. The developer still has great units remaining, so if you have an interest in reserving one, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  These units go straight contract.  The developer started converting reservations to contracts last month. I can be reached on my cell phone at 786-247-6332 or via email at [email protected].

One Thousand Museum Groundbreaking Ceremony Set for Tomorrow at 11:30am

One Thousand Museum signage

While out for a stroll earlier this morning, I noticed that signage marking the parameter of the One Thousand Museum site was up and ready to go for tomorrow’s groundbreaking ceremony.  The ceremony will run from 11:30am to 1:30pm and present, as the guest of honor, will be Zaha Hadid herself.

Just Listed – Unit 2402 at Ten Museum Park – Asking $969,000

Ten Museum Park unit 2402

I am pleased to introduce my newest listing at Ten Museum Park – unit 2402 – a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, bi-level loft with over 1,800 interior square feet and a private balcony overlooking the newly opened Museum Park.  The property features soaring 20-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass windows; stainless steel appliances by Sub-Zero, Miele, and Bosch; a Terrazzo-topped custom kitchen island; utility room with full-size washer and dryer; a full glass-enclosed shower with rainfall shower head; and direct, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and Miami Beach skyline.

As of this posting, unit 2402 is the best priced unit in the building among those that offer a direct water view.  As you may recall, I recently listed and sold unit 1802 – a 2 bedroom located six floors directly below unit 2402.  That one  received multiple offers and went under contract within 7 days.  With peak season right around the corner, I am confident that interest in this property will be equally as great.

Below, you will find additional photographs of unit 2402 at Ten Museum Park.  If you or someone you know have an interest in viewing this property in person, please contact me via email at [email protected] or on my cell phone at 786-247-6332.
