Vertical living in the Magic
City is becoming increasingly attractive and condominiums are no longer
considered entry-level real estate, but rather a preferred lifestyle choice for
those wanting an urban living lifestyle with fewer household responsibilities,
shorter commutes, and simply more time to do the things they enjoy.
This lifestyle preference is clearly reflected in today’s South Florida real estate market, where buyers are paying a premium for luxurious urban dwellings with panoramic waterfront views, spacious floor-plans, European kitchens with high-end appliances, 24-hour security, state-of-the-art amenities and ultra-posh perks all within what urbanites call the “30-minute live-work-play circle.” In the vast majority of condominiums throughout Miami’s downtown-Brickell area amenities such as fitness centers, pools, concierge desks, and valet parking are no longer exclusive features, but basics.

What then distinguishes one
property from the other? Amenities you don’t get anywhere else, which allow
city residents to get away and simultaneously stay. In the downtown Miami-Brickell
area there is only one property that matches this description, iconbrickell.
At iconbrickell, amenities not only just
make your life easy and comfortable; they exemplify the elements of urban living
at the highest levels. iconbrickell is a city within a city. A
10-acre enclave surrounded by 1000 feet of Biscayne Bay waterfront and framed by
lush oak trees, walking paths, the Miami Circle Park and Brickell Park.
Below is a peak into our favorite amenities
at iconbrickell.
ICONic Amenities:
In Miami, lounging by the pool
is a favorite year-round pastime. At iconbrickell, it is a mind-blowing
experience! Rising 100 feet on the 15th floor and overlooking the
blue-turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay, residents of iconbrickell
tower 1, iconbrickell
tower 2 and Viceroy
residences will find the critically acclaimed two-acre lushly landscaped
outdoor living room with mosaic carpets, recreational areas, and pool
deck.

Inspired by legendary French
designer Phillipe Starck, it is the Magic City’s whimsical
urban-chic version of the "Champs-Elysees", the pool deck features two eating
establishments: EOS Mediterranean Restaurant and Icon Café, towel and lounge
service, three infinity edge pools and a dreamy 12 foot outdoor fire place
residents refer to as their very own "Arc de Triomphe".
Alongside the three pools are
rows of Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees, which offer just the right amount of
shade for those wanting to cool down from too much fun in the sun or just
wanting to advantage of the unrestricted wireless technology (Wi-Fi) in one of
the cabanas and read a steamy novel on your iPad/nook. For those wanting to
catch up on their chess game, checkmate your moves while sipping on your
favorite cocktail.

iconbrickell’s three pools consist of a
reflection pool, hot tub and a lap pool, and make up the longest pool complex in
the United States. The three combined measure a whopping 300 feet in length and
hold an astounding 300,000 gallons of water. The square hot tub is one of the
largest in the world, measuring 38 x 35 square feet and can hold up to 80 of
your closest friends. The lap pool is 40 feet longer than an Olympic size pool,
running from one side of the property to the other and measures 205 feet in
length. The pool runs parallel to the Miami River, and from certain angles, the
water appears to feed into the water below.
If you are looking for
ultra-posh pampering of ICONic proportions look no
further, The Spa at iconbrickell, located on the 14th floor
and operated by the Viceroy Hotel is a soothing and indulgent escape to the
hustle and bustle of Miami's urban life.

Inspired by YOO by Phillipe
Starck, The Spa at iconbrickell
is a staggering 28,000 square-feet, complete with a juice bar,
treatment rooms for exotic massages, a 5,000 square foot aqua-therapy lounge,
fitness center with multiple exercise classes, Pilates studio, a
state-of-the-art gym, posh locker rooms, His and Hers Eucalyptus steam rooms,
saunas and relaxation areas.

Looking to soothe those aching
muscles from swimming or from trying the new state-of-the-art "Surf" class,
complete with a life size moving board (offered at the Spa). Sink into one of
three pools for some aqua-therapy (cold, warm, and hot) at the 5,000 square foot
white and grey sanctuary, resembling a Roman/Turkish bath. Sit back onto a
Starck signature chair or oversized comfy bench alongside a working fireplace
and relax under life-like stars twinkling from the yellow 1,000 piece
crystal chandelier above, which required hand assembly
over several weeks.
For those that fancy a
read...pick one of hundreds of books, all covered in white at the library
bordering the pools but bring an open mind because at iconbrickell we don't judge a book by its
cover!
