In this episode, we provide an update regarding the developer blowout sale at The Plaza on Brickell that started last Thursday. We also touch upon pricing at Icon Brickell and discuss news regarding Marquis. We end the show by highlighting four noteworthy foreclosures that came onto the market since last Friday.
Last Friday, Penthouse B at The Setai sold for $15M, or $2416 per square foot. No word yet on who acquired the breathtaking, South Beach luxury penthouse. The previous owner purchased the unit directly from the developer in 2004 for $9.5M. From my knowledge, the recent sale is the highest-priced condo sale to ever take place in Miami-Dade County.

For inquiring minds, Penthouse A at The Setai came onto the market this past April. The unit has the same square footage as Penthouse B. The asking price is $27M, or $4349 per square foot, which currently makes it the second highest priced condo listing in Miami-Dade County.
Penthouse 5 at Marina Blue offers one of the most panoramic views in Miami. The bi-level penthouse has 20-foot ceilings and resides on the 57th and 58th floors. The unit has 4,198 square feet of interior and 439 square feet of balcony. The asking price is $3.3M. The video below will provide you with a tour of this amazing Marina Blue penthouse.

Floor Plan
In this video segment, we discuss the developer blowout sale at The Plaza on Brickell that was announced Thursday afternoon. I received word just 24 hours later that 16 units had already been placed under contract. This is now the best deal in Brickell but availability won’t last long. Later in the video, we also discuss the uptick in luxury condo sales in 2010. We end the show with a picture slideshow of Penthouse A at Apogee South Beach which came onto the market last month with an asking price of $16M.
Yesterday afternoon, we launched the Miami Real Estate Review FaceBook Fan Page. We have big plans for the fan page so be sure to add us. Starting next week, we will provide daily updates in regards to the Miami real estate market. Important market news, recently closed sales and the best real estate deals currently on the market will be highlighted. The information will be provided in an abridged, concise manner to allow daily updates to be made possible. Of particular note to some, the Miami Real Estate Review Fan Page will have a discussion forum. Participants will be able to create discussion topics and provide their input.
Earlier this afternoon, a penthouse foreclosure at Santa Maria came onto the market with an asking price of $12.9M. It’s a two story condo with 10,000 square feet of interior and has a rooftop terrace with a large hot tub.
Update: As I was writing this blog post, I received word that the penthouse has already gone under contract. Word is that the accepted offer price was $11M. Geez, that was fast!
Below, you’ll find a video demonstration of the Miami Condo Investments iPhone app. It was released this past January and we’ll be releasing an update late next month. The app is free and can be downloaded at the iTunes app store.
Carlos Justo was the previous owner of the 5 bedroom penthouse foreclosure at Imperial at Brickell that was recently showcased on this website. In today’s video show, we feature an Associated Press interview that was filmed in that very penthouse.
Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of viewing a bank owned 5 bedroom penthouse at Imperial at Brickell. The two-story condo has 5,034 square feet of interior and is the only residence located on the penthouse level. Furthermore, the terrace is one of the largest that I’ve seen for a Brickell Avenue condo and has an amazing, direct view of Biscayne Bay, Key Biscayne and the South Beach skyline. It truly is an entertainer’s dream.
A few days ago, the list price was reduced $300,000 to its current asking price of $1.49M, or $296 per square foot. The unit needs to be renovated considerably. In fact, if it were me, I would gut the entire condo and start from scratch. The condo is perfect for someone who is creative and has the vision to transform this space into one of the most spectacular residences along Brickell Avenue.
Without a doubt, this is a rare opportunity at a great price. Contact us at 305-428-3860 if you have any questions regarding this 5 bedroom penthouse or would like to schedule a personal showing.
Imperial at Brickell was completed in 1983 and is located at 1627 Brickell Avenue.
