A quick look back: less than a year ago and these Developments are still timeless……

Time was, way back a hundred years ago, if you lived in an ‘apartment house,’ bam, that was it, you owned an apartment among many others. And it was in a building with thick brick walls protecting ladies in lace-up girdles from the dangers of nature. Then, bam, came the idea of ‘Resort Style Living’ in, where else, but postwar Miami, when apartment buildings began duplicating the life style of the large new luxury hotels then making their debut. The Fontainebleau and Eden Roc inspired the Seacost Towers and Crystal House. Basically. And that legacy lives on in the garden of delights known as the modern-day Miami amenity deck.

A Glimpse of Miami’s Future Skyline

Leave a comment

Miami’s Downtown Development Authority has released a video that provides a glimpse of what the skyline will look like when the current crop of construction projects have been completed.

The video helps to visualize the massing of Miami’s evolving skyline by showing buildings that are existing, under construction, planned and proposed. Existing buildings are in white. Buildings where construction is underway are represented in blue, while planned and proposed towers are represented in green and purple, respectively.

It doesn’t include every project, and isn’t exact about height. Fast-rising Edgewater is mostly ignored.

Swire Chief: Condo Market ‘At Half The Pace’ Compared To Last Year, But Healthy

Leave a comment

Swire Properties President Stephen Owens told a forum last week that ‘there’s no question’ that sales of condos at Brickell City Centre have slowed down.

Owens told the audience that the market is ‘at half the pace’ compared to last year. He blamed it on more discerning buyers, and said that it was a sign of a healthy market. His comments were reported by The Real Deal.

As of March, 17% of units at Swire’s Brickell City Centre RISE condo tower has been sold. That compares to nearly 80% sold at REACH, which launched sales earlier.

Dezer Development president Gil Dezer echoed Owens’ sentiments last week, saying that ‘there’s the same number of buyers’ as before, but more projects. He also said that it was now a healthier market, and that it wasn’t ‘normal or stable’ when units were selling out as fast as they were last year.
