I posted this photo on our photo-blog at MiamismPix.com and got such great feedback that I decided to make it a Miamism Fridays.  Taken from a 900 Biscayne Bay PH, it show's Marina Blue from a different perspective.  To think that there are so many Miami Luxury High Rises that make you cringe when you look down.

....another MIAMISM!!

Rick and I visited 900 Biscayne Bay Condo and there are tons of positive and negative things I can say about the project but for the most part it will be positive.

The location is central and ideal if you like to be close to the action.  You can actually see The Center for Performing Arts from the building, are almost in front of the American Airlines Arena, can walk to Bayside Marketplace, you have the Metro-mover right behind the building to take you to Downtown Miami and I-395 within a stone-throw away that takes you to Miami Beach.

The views are nothing short of spectacular and will never be blocked because of Museum Park right on the bay across from the building.  We had the pleasure of seeing a few pent-houses as well as smaller units and lower floor units.  My general opinion is that the bedrooms were small and sometimes the distribution a bit choppy, but I really liked the kitchens with European style cabinets, marble tops, Miele appliances and Subzero refrigerators.

When you are buying into any of the 4 side-by-side buildings which include:  Ten Museum Park, Marina Blue, 900 Biscayne Bay or Marquis (currently under construction), you are buying for location and for the view.  Any small flaws in design are compensated by the amazing views of Miami, Miami Beach and The Port of Miami.

The building was designed by Arquitect Luis Revuelta and to me it was very obvious because of the labyrinthian quality of the floorplans and common areas.  The hallways are quite confusing when coming in and out of elevators, but will only experience that when going to the common areas.

The Interior Design and finishes done by Sam Robin are spectacular - for me to say I have nothing to critique is huge.  I loved every material and method of execution used by Sam.  The spaces are somber and elegant and leave no questions unanswered.

Something else to expect is that the extreme units will be close to the adjacent buildings, some of our customers would consider it too close for comfort, but that can be overcome by buying an inside unit with a straight view of Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay.

This is the description of the 900 Biscayne Bay by the developer:

The downtown Miami mixed-use development by Terra Group was designed by acclaimed architect Luis Revuelta. The building is a fusion of cutting-edge architectural design, state-of-the art technology and grand hotel-style amenities that is located in the heart of Miamis burgeoning museum and performing arts district on Biscayne Bay.

Architect Revuelta captured the bay views by angling the building and creating an undulating façade. Its unique architectural design is complemented by the vision of celebrated designer, Sam Robin, who has created a serene yet strong interior that will showcase modern art and design.

Remember I told you to sit tight on that mortgage rate lock until after the Bailout Bill was passed?

Well, it failed.

Mortgage rates are a little better than they were this morning. This morning a 30-year fixed par rate was at 6.0%; this afternoon, it was at 5.875%.  If you're closing on your home loan in 30 days , there is more risk that you'll get a rate over 6% than under 6%.  Lock your mortgage rate if you're closing in October.

If you have time, wait it out.  The bailout bill failed but it isn't dead.  If the bailout bill DOES ultimately fail, mortgage rates will skyrocket, housing prices will tank, and you'll probably renegotiate or cancel that home purchase.

When the bailout goes through (and the whining on Wall Street will be so loud that it WILL go through), mortgage rates will come back down.

PS:  If you're a baby boomer, this is your worst nightmare. Most of the people over 55 have most of their retirement assets in the stock market, through mutual funds in their 401-k plan.  If you're a real estate investor or buyer, this might be really good news.

PPS: Did you know that Main Street already got bailed out? I'll talk about that next time.

Please let your guard down for a few minutes and finish reading this post, it is not about Miami Beach Real Estate, it's about making a difference in the world and putting in your small grain of sand into the mix.

I am a believer that everyone in this earth, no matter their situation needs to give back in one way or another.  Yes the saying "give, in order to receive" applies and so does the Law of Intention, but how many of us are too busy or too hung up on our own problems to look around and realize that the world is ever giving and it is our duty to do something about it?

I attended a Miami Country Day School assembly yesterday in which their annual Walk for Cancer was launched and I had to take a deep breath a couple of times and fight tears because what those kids are doing and what they accomplish every year is really noteworthy.

At the beginning of the assembly, several school teachers and staff were called because they were cancer survivors, then one of the seniors asked everyone in the Gym to stand up and asked 3 questions:Read more »
