Unveiled one year ago in December 2008, Capri South Beach has since sold almost 40% of its inventory, trading between $633SF and $1,323SF. A challenging year for real estate overall, Capri South Beach was well received by buyers in Miami Beach.

W SOUTH BEACH: 2201 COLLINS AVENUE

W SOUTH BEACH HOTEL & RESIDENCES

Scheduled to open July 2, 2009, the W South Beach Hotel and Residences hosted an affair for new company associates last week at the semi completed property located at 2201 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Shiny Ferrari’s adorned the building’s entry on 22 street, music was pulsing poolside as the W culture mingled under the moody lighting through the many lounging spots inside and out. One W employee commented that the event was an effort by the W to provide new hires with the “W experience.”  Will the W a la South Beach be a recessionario or recessionista for the brand?

Stay tuned for the opening, the elevators are not yet operational, so no report (images), YET, on the hotel rooms and units. In the meantime, a little eye candy courtesy of my Blackberry.

CAPRI SOUTH BEACH

My EWM Realtors colleague, Pablo Alfaro, and I just took the exclusive listing of the recently completed, luxurious development, Capri South Beach. Imagine taking in glorious panoramic views of the Miami Skyline and Biscayne Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean while residing on two waterfront acres just steps away from Lincoln Road. I am describing Capri South Beach, the exclusive condominium comprised of two newly constructed buildings and one historic structure, secluded at the western most point of Miami Beach’s 16th Street on 500′ of water frontage. A true boutique development, the sixty-nine luxurious residences, private marina, fitness and spa facility, 24 hour security and valet make Capri South Beach the most desirable bayfront community on the island.

ANA CAPRI 1470 16 STREET MIAMI BEACH, FL 33139Ana Capri, the southern most building, is the smallest of the three, with only five units each occupying a floor.  With stunning views of the Miami Skyline to the west, entry to each unit is via private elevator.

Is rocker Lenny Kravitz going to ‘Fly Away,’ like the title of one of his hit songs, from Grammy Award winning album 5, suggests? Today, Kravitz listed his Miami Beach home located at 7936 Biscayne Point Circle for $2.85M. He purchased the property in 1997 for $725k.

Located on the tip of Biscayne Point, the peninsula just north of Normandy Island, Kravitz’s residence offers unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, not to mention spectacular sunsets. Biscayne Point is a guard gated community located in the northern part of Miami Beach.

Property Highlights

  • Lot Size: 12,150 SF
  • Living Area: 5,717 SF
  • Built in 1954

Not his first picnic in Miami Beach residential real estate, Kravitz sold his Sunset Island 2 home, 1800 W 25 Street, when the market was soaring in 2005 to developer Steve Muss for $14.5M. Kravitz purchased the property in 2001 for $8.9M.

Further adding his mark to South Florida, he launched a new business, Kravitz Design.  Maybe you have seen his work,  he is the creative behind the Delano Hotel’s ultra chic lounge, The Florida Room, which opened in December 2007. True to the music industry, Kravitz fused his new venture with his staple by designing a recording studio in the luxurious Miami Beach condo-hotel, Setai, that opened in 2008. A two-story penthouse, Setai Recording Studio (as it is know in the music world) offers 2,500 SF with state of the art equipment and inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean.

At the 2005 MTV Music Awards, Kravitz proudly called Miami home, let’s hope he continues to spread more of his luster over our beautiful city.
