![]() 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.

One of my clients, like many buyers today, was having an identity crisis. Who was he, an owner or a renter? Until last week, he was a SIDELINER, a browser looking for a deal in the Miami Beach real estate market. He was on the verge of leasing a unit at the Continuum I on South Beach, when I introduced him to a mid century modern house at 6050 North Bay Road. This property was on the market for less than two weeks, my client recognized the opportunity I presented him with and jumped on it! Calculating the numbers, he concluded it was more cost effective to maintain the house than spend $10,000 a month renting a 2/2 in the Continuum I. Built in 1951, 6050 North Bay Road sits on a lot just under 20,000 SF with 77 FT of water frontage, unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay and a spacious interior with over 4,000 SF.

Damon’s primary residence was acquired in April 2005 for $10.3M.
