Brand New Tigertail Avenue Contempo Wants $3.4 Million

This 4,300 square foot contemporary thing on TIgertail Avenue is all glass and stucco and palm trees. Not that that's bad, and it sort of does the contemporary Miami look fairly well. Is the fence necessary? The five bedroom, four bath house has some nice wood accents, a sexy floating staircase, and a fireplace. The backyard is rather jungly, which is very appropriate for Coconut Grove, some nice stonework, and it has that red block hanging off the side, which adds some visual interest. For all this, the house wants $3.4 million.

Miami Beach Approved Big Convention Center Hotel, Again

• 

The Miami Beach City Commission, that august governing body (ha!) has approved Portman Holdings's planed 800 room Miami Beach Convention Center hotel, again. The city has needed a true convention center hotel for years, and this is an ideal site, although the design itself is rather horrid. This time specifically was the approval for the hotel's 99 year lease, which will go back to the commission for a second reading on September 2nd. Then the big ugly thing goes to voters for approval in November. The rent paid to the city, over that 99 years, could be anywhere from $35 million to $74 million, significantly less than the $99 million the Miami Beach Community Church is getting for its courtyard literally one block away on Lincoln Road. Not to editorialize, but that just screams corruption.

UPDATE: According to an anonymous tipster:

In your Miami Beach Convention Center Hotel Article today, you missed that the $35-74 million in lease payments is a net present value number, not a sum total over the 99 year period like the Miami Beach Community Church deal. The projected aggregate lease payments presented to the city over the 99 year term are over $800 million, with a minimum of over $400 million.

The Mansions at Acqualina are Finished, While Estates at Acqualina Reaches $360 Million in Sales

[Via Google Street View]

The very slim Mansions at Acqualina has been completed, received its TCO (Temporary Certificate of Occupancy), and is ready for move-in, according to the developer. Oh, and the joint is completely sold out, which means that the Palazzo di Richezze, the building's $55 million penthouse, must have been sold (final sale price unknown) even though there were no press releases on the sale. Neither Miami-Dade Property Appraiser online records or Realtor.com (the only site with a direct feed from the MLS and thus reliably up-to-date) reveal much, although Realtor.com does show two other properties in the building as 'pending,' meaning that the sales have not closed yet, which is something that only happens after the building's finished. In other Acqualina news, their twin towered neighbor to the north, the Estates at Acqualina, has reached a whopping $360 million in sales according to the developer, ten weeks after the project launched.

New Downtown Mural Looks like Water to Passing Cars

As Miami grows upwards, with waterfront real estate being the most in demand, views of our bodies of water are often encountered in glimpses between tall towers. This is a situation a lot of people don't like, because the alternative would be wide swaths of glittering blue, but there is something magical about those fleeting glimpses that remind us of water's omnipresence in Miami. A new mural at The Commonwealth Building at 46 SW 1ST Street, downtown seeks to duplicate that perspective. Here an abstracted blue-scape designed by Christine Zavesky, and painted by Bill Savarese "disappears and reappears as one navigates the vehicular arteries and train line leading to Downtown Miami" according to Zavesky.

Just as the water is periodically seen through the gaps within the city fabric along the bay, this particular building surface disappears and reappears as one navigates the vehicular arteries and train line leading to Downtown Miami. The project references the color and proximity to the ocean, bringing the essence of the water further inland. When narrow slivers of the blue-patterned mural are seen at a distance, the glint of color is a reminder of the ever-present body of water nearby.
