Asia

 

 

 

The ultra-luxurious Asia Condos tower, by Swire Properties, occupies a waterfront site overlooking the downtown Miami skyline and the mouth of the Miami River on the northern shoreline of Brickell Key.

 

Asia, as designed by J. Scott Architecture, is an iconic architectural statement of verticality, dramatized by a volume of space that is punched out of the southern facade to create a colonnaded terrace for the pool deck. The abundance of green glass in the facade is accentuated by patina copper detailing at the cornice lines. The Asia tower rises 40 stories in height due to the 12-foot standard ceiling height in all residences. Containing just 123 residences, Asia is a boutique building, with commensurate luxury features that include a striking lobby with a grand terrace overlooking the water, private elevators, touch screen lifestyle management technology, multiple pools, private fitness center with state-of-the-art machines, private storage rooms, tennis, valet, and concierge.

 

Asia residences are a mix of two, three, and four bedroom layouts, with typical floors containing just three to five apartments. The smallest two-bedroom unit, at 1,600 square feet, started from $875,000. Prices ranged up to $6 million, which is reflective of the private island Brickell Key location with shops, dining, art-accented baywalk, and the proximity to the hotel Mandarin Oriental Miami and the services available to Asia condo owners.

 

Asia offers "chef-friendly" kitchens with Sub-Zero refrigerators, Meile cooktop and ovens with Franke double sink, built-in espresso maker and wine cooler. Italian designer cabinets with sycamore or wenge finishes are underlit and topped in granite.
