Unique 2,754 Square Foot 3 Bedroom at 900 Biscayne Bay – $1.45M

Last week I visited a one-of-a-kind 3 bedroom condo at 900 Biscayne Bay. The condo has 2,754 square feet of interior, 3 large balconies, 3.5 bathrooms, a private elevator and 2 separate laundry rooms. The unit also has 11-foot ceilings which is only found on the 58th floor. Even the penthouse level units at 900 Biscayne Bay only have 10-foot ceilings. The living room, master bedroom and master bathroom are monstrous. The unit comes with 2 deeded parking spaces.

The asking price is $1.45M.

Turnberry Ocean Colony Common Areas – Picture Tour

I was able to visit Turnberry Ocean Colony a few weeks ago and was able to shoot a ton of pictures of the common areas and of a 2 bedroom condo with a direct ocean view that I showed to a client that day. This post includes pictures of just the common areas. I’ll follow it up within a few days with pictures of the 2 bedroom condo.

Turnberry Ocean Colony is a beachfront condo development located in Sunny Isles Beach. It is one of the nicest condo developments that I have ever visited in South Florida.

900 Biscayne Bay 06 Line

It’s no secret that 900 Biscayne Bay is my favorite building of all the condo developments in Miami that have been completed within the past three years. When I show properties to clients who wish to view 900 Biscayne Bay as well as other condo buildings, I tend to leave 900 Biscayne Bay last. Otherwise, everything else will look second-rate by comparison if I were to show it first. I guess it’s my “leave the best for last” mentality. 900 Biscayne Bay is in a league of its own. Building security is some of the best in Miami and the overall quality of the development and amenities is second to none. Additionally, valet parking is currently complimentary for a second vehicle as well as for resident guests. View a photo tour of 900 Biscayne Bay.

That being said, of all the floor plans at 900 Biscayne Bay, the 06 line is the one that excites me most. It’s a 3 bedroom + den/4 bath unit with 2,335 square feet of interior and 639 square feet of exterior. A few days ago, I showed unit 3006 at 900 Biscayne Bay to a client looking for a 3 bedroom rental. Below, you’ll find a photo tour of that condo as I walked throughout its spacious footprint. Notice the sizable foyer as you enter the condo from its private elevator, the top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, deep terraces and amazing views. (Asking price to rent this unit is $4,200 per month.)

Icon Brickell Tour – Condos

This past week I was able to tour not only the amenities and common areas at Icon Brickell but also a few condos. Below, you will find the pictures that I took of a few two bedroom condos. Keep in mind that these are model units. Condos at Icon Brickell are delivered by the developer “decorator-ready”. However, as an incentive to buy now, the developer is offering either a 3 percent decorator credit or flooring installed throughout your condo.

The first condo I saw was a 2 bedroom/2 bath plus den. It has 1,503 square feet of interior space and 218 square feet of balcony.
