A First Look at Residence 900 at GLASS in Miami Beach

January 9, 2016

In case you haven’t heard, GLASS is the newest addition to Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood. Closings began in October. The 18-story tower – designed by renowned architect Rene Gonzalez – has just ten total units (yes, just 10), each encompassing at least one full floor. Due to its all-glass structure, the building’s natural surroundings are brilliantly integrated into its design, mirroring the sky, sea, and city in all directions.

Last month, my broker, Dora Puig, listed for sale a full-floor residence on the 9th floor (residence 900). The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath condo has 3,400 interior square feet plus another 2,000 square feet of terrace. Earlier this week, I finally got an opportunity to take a look at it and brought my trusty camera along.

I must say, the quality of the finishes at GLASS are second to none. I was blown away. I have never seen a developer deliver such high-end finishes. The kitchens are wrapped in Calcutta marble, the master bath in Arabescato marble, and the floors covered in walnut wood. Truly impressive finishes throughout! And the sweeping city and water views are jaw-dropping! I also got a chance to photograph the beautiful pool deck which was designed by famed landscape architect Raymond Jungles. See for yourself…
