Wow, What a Condo! ... in the Brickell area.

I just rented a unit over at the new 500 Brickell Av. condo.  This is a beautiful property designed by the renown "Architectonica" firm in Miami, and with interior design by Michael Wolk.  Here is a link to the 500 Brickell photos on Michael Wolk's web page.  Wolk's motto is "Making Design Matter", and he sure did with this project.
The 500 Brickell is classy and contemporary.  There are two towers (east and west), and the buildings are joined up to the 11th floor with a very SOBE patio area and large round infinity swimming pool.   There are cabanas, lounge chairs, and entertainment areas, as well as "his and hers" spa areas. 

Rooftop Pool
The common area decor has a zen feel, using all the correct Feng Shui elements and a nice color scheme in the hallways.  On the top of the East tower is a surprising small round dipping pool and rooftop entertaining area... nice.
Lobby
 The rooms are spacious with modern kitchens, high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows.  The bathrooms are large and spacious.  Most of the units have 1 or 2 bedrooms although the NE Corner of the East tower has 3 bedroom units, directly facing the bay.    There are currently 19 units for sale in the complex, ranging from $285,000 to $595,000 in listing price.  Call me for more info!
