Imagine
coming home from work and facing the choice between a stress-melting
yoga class or a swim in a lagoon-style pool, both right where
you live. That decision can be yours at the Marquis, a 67-story
luxury condominium and boutique hotel in downtown Miami.
This top-shelf property, now under construction, will feature
306 beautiful 1 to 4BRs, 56 hotel rooms and a spectacular
spa. 10ft-tall, floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors create
an open, airy feeling in all homes, and offer breathtaking
views of Biscayne Bay, the ocean and the city. Cooks will
enjoy state-of-the-art Viking appliances; both kitchens and
baths feature Sand Studio-designed cabinetry and granite countertops.
‘Smart’
building technology means a high-speed elevator whisks you
from the lobby to the 10,000sf pool deck in seconds, and a
touch-screen panel in each home connects you to built-in web
browsing and TV, as well as to the spa, valet and concierge.
Opens fall 2008. $900,000s to $11 million.

ON
THE WATERFRONT
What
designer Philippe Starck did for the Delano in Miami, the
Mondrian in LA, and Asia de Cuba in Manhattan, he’s
now doing - in partnership with uber-developer Jorge Perez
- for Icon Brickell on the Miami waterfront. These three stylish
condo towers on a ten-acre enclave will offer studios to 3BRs
featuring breathtaking floor-to-ceiling glass, Della Casa
kitchen cabinetry, and Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. Each
unit will be wired with 21st-century technology, enabling,
with a simple touch, instant access to round-the-clock concierge
and valet services, as well as the lavish spa.
Vast outdoor spaces and common areas will brim with all the
glamour and pizzazz Starck is known for: the jaw-dropping
two-acre sundeck features a 300ft pool - Miami’s longest
- as well as a thermal hot pool and Olympic-length lap pool.
A fantastic outdoor dining area overlooking Biscayne Bay is
made slightly more wonderful by an oversized fireplace. $259,900
to $2.2 million.

CONTINENTAL
FLAIR
The
European Club, a luxury tower planned for Hallandale Beach,
will offer sweeping views of the ocean, the Intracoastal and
the Diplomat Resort Golf Club. Both condo and condo-hotel residences
will be available, along with hotel amenities and a spectrum
of retail. The perks of next-door Fort Lauderdale will be at
your fingertips. However, with 91,000+ sf of office space, “the
European Club might suit the young professional who’d
appreciate only an elevator ride to work,” says Kimberly
Kirschner, CEO of Kirschner Realty, exclusive sales agent for
the project.
Home seekers will find 1 to 3BRs decked out with deluxe European
finishes. Kitchens will boast Boffi oak and white-lacquer cabinets,
quartz countertops and high-end appliances. Bathrooms will be
retreat-like, featuring oversized tubs, limestone floors, and
even a private balcony off the master bath. For a true escape,
head for the Sky Deck, with infinity-edge pools and a tiki bar.
Opens early 2008. $400,000 to $7 million.

“Overall,
sellers are learning to be more realistic in pricing their homes,”
says Andy Weiser, a broker with Coldwell Banker in Fort Lauderdale.
“The days of forty-percent gains are pretty much done, but
in places like Broward County, there’s still a strong market.
Unless you wildly overpaid for a property, you’re not going
to lose money on a sale.” |
