Caribbean

 

 

 

It's rare that we hear of new 5-star oceanfront condos appearing in South Beach. Well, Christa Development Corporation and New York's Bluerock investment firm are bankrolling and building this stunning new project. The Caribbean Hotel was a landmark structure built in 1941. This 7-story art deco treasure will be completely stripped and rebuilt from the inside out. Another building, 18 stories in height, will be built attached to the original structure, thereby giving us two towers of ultra-luxury residences to choose from. All units will have stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. In fact, both towers will basically be all-glass towers. And the views are just amazing. Practically every room in every apartment will see the ocean. The west-facing views will be of Miami Beach's famed Intercoastal. Typical ceiling heights will range from 9-feet to 10 feet (penthouses). These are first-class apartments with Subzero and Miele appliances, marble and granite bathrooms and an amazing array of high-end designer finishes. The project is scheduled to start construction in early 2006, with completion slated for Fall 2007. Don't let this opportunity pass you! If you're looking for an ultra-luxury apartment and you missed out on some of Caribbean's predecessors, now is your chance to get in early!
