Jade Ocean Sunny Isles Beach Photo Tour – Fendi Model
After touring the common areas at Jade Ocean, I was given a tour of the Fendi-designed 3 bedroom/3.5 bath model unit. The condo has 2,180 square feet of interior and 437 square feet of balcony. The 05 line is located in the middle of the building and is a flow through unit with ocean and intracoastal views.

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.

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.
Currently, there is only one foreclosure condo listed in the MLS that is priced at $1M or above. That is a 3 bedroom/4.5 bath double corner unit at The Setai South Beach with 3,691 square feet of interior space. The list price is $4.2M, or $1,138 per square foot. However, there are currently 48 short sale condos listed in the MLS priced at $1M or above. Below is a list of what I feel are the 10 best luxury short sale condos that are currently available:

New & Improved South Florida MLS Property Search for Condos
Many of you have already noticed that a much improved Miami condos search has now taken the place of the old property search. New search parameters have been added to allow your search experience to be more powerful and effective. For example, you can now search by year built, number of parking spaces and distressed sales (foreclosures and short sales), as well as many other parameters. Additionally, you can now draw a shape onto the map to restrict the search to condos located within that shape. For example, in the picture above, I drew a shape around Brickell Key to restrict the search to only condos located in Brickell Key. Enjoy!
A contract holder of a condo unit at Trump Tower I, who got in at an excellent price via the “Friends and Family Discount,” contacted me last week to help him find a replacement buyer. He has a contract on a 2 bedroom + den/3 bath condo with 1,938 square feet of interior space and a 227 square foot balcony (C-Mod). The unit faces northeast and will have gorgeous direct views of the Atlantic Ocean from the living room, kitchen and both bedrooms. In order to remain partially anonymous to the developer, let’s just say that the unit is located on a high floor above the 25th floor.
Trump Tower I, II and III is a luxury beachfront development located in Sunny Isles Beach that was headed up by Dezer Development and The Related Group of Florida, with the world-renowned “Trump” name tagged to the development. Each tower rises 45 stories with 271 spacious residences which offer private elevator foyers. The residences also offer the following:
Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances
Italian cabinetry with granite or marble countertops in kitchens and bathrooms
Designer kitchen and bathroom fixtures
Expansive balconies with glass and aluminum railings
Elegant smooth ceilings rising to 10′ or 11′ clear
Floor-to-ceilings windows
Trump Tower I, II and III will also offer world-class amenities and common areas which include the following:
Exquisitely appointed three-story lobby
24-hour security and concierge services
Elegant porte-cochere entrance with 24-hour valet services
Elevated, lushly landscaped oceanfront terrace with heated swimming pool, spa and pool attendants
250 feet of sugar-sand Atlantic Ocean frontage
Beachfront cabanas
State-of-the-art fitness center and resident’s health spa
Multi-purpose clubroom
Mail and package receiving desk
Three levels of covered and secured garage parking
The contract holder who contacted me is looking to break-even on his purchase by offering this condo to an end-user for $1M, or $516 per square foot. That’s one helluva well-priced beachfront condo! Closings are scheduled to begin in December of this year but will likely be pushed back until the first quarter or first half of 2008.
