Monad Terrace is Unique…

Remarkable Design by Pritzker-Prize-Winning Ateliers Jean Nouvel

When someone first told me about Monad Terrace, my first reaction was that it was just another new condo building in Miami Beach. But, it is NOT…not at all. This development is special. Not only is it designed by Pritzker-Prize-winning Ateliers Jean Nouvel, but it is his only residential project in Florida, and this is important because he is very meticulous about what projects he takes on.

By collaborating with JDS Development Group, Nouvel was allowed to freely see his true ingenious vision through for this project. Most developers do not allow architects to have free rein with their design, thereby affecting the overall product; however, because Jean Nouvel could fully design this project with little to no pushback, he created a truly unique special development specifically for the area surrounded by Biscayne Bay. “A building must have the vision of its city,” said Jean Nouvel. “In Miami, you have the blue horizon which is beautiful, and you have the downtown skyline across the water which is beautiful. In South Beach, you have nature, composed by architecture.”

Nouvel meticulously designed Monad Terrace to embrace the tropical weather and water views that so entice people to live in South Florida. Specifically, Nouvel artfully directs the play of daylight and water throughout the project. “Of course, it’s all about the water. And all the design work is to create a vision framing the lagoon and the bay. And the reason is because there is so much to see, from the lagoon to the bay, to boats at the dock to the skyline of downtown and the sunset and the fantastic view across the water.” Nouvel successfully achieved this by strategically placing high-tech honeycomb screens on the exteriors of the residences to precisely calibrate views and seclusion. Further, the placement of reflecting pools on select residence terraces bounce dappled light deep into living spaces, while the signature water garden—the central lagoon, reflection pools and adjacent swimming pool—draws the feeling of sparkling Biscayne Bay into the heart of the property. Light and water, glass and steel, gardens and façades all combine into what Nouvel has dubbed “the reflection machine”. Pure genius.

Coconut Grove Vibe in South Beach

Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely love Coconut Grove (I am a resident), commonly referred to as “The Grove.” The Grove is a bayfront, boating community that has a laid-back, Bohemian-style feel amid an abundance of parks, organic lush foliage, historic tree canopies and an assortment of marinas, while also offering an eclectic variety of shopping, restaurants, art galleries and entertainment. Coconut Grove just has an overall different feel than Miami Beach…usually…Monad Terrace has a Grove vibe, which makes it truly unique. Although Monad Terrace is situated in the heart of vibrant South Beach, the architectural intelligence by Jean Nouvel allowed this boutique development to really embrace the natural beauty of South Florida. From the placement of native plants throughout, the utilization of the honeycomb screens to reflect the water and the natural light, the overall design of the building exudes a sense of calmness and relaxation, while maintaining a rich luxurious feel.

Miami Luxury Homes Sells Record-Breaking W South Beach Condo

W South Beach 1830 View

W South Beach 1830 View

It has been a crazy couple of years for Miami’s residential real estate market. In yet a further sign of the market’s rebound, Michael Light, president of Miami Luxury Homes, is pleased to announce that our closing today, September 9th 2013, on Unit 1830 at W South Beach, has shattered a Miami-Dade County record for closing price per square foot on a residential property. Unit 1830, a studio with direct ocean views located within the ultra-luxurious W South Beach, encompasses 497 square feet according to the Miami-Dade County tax record. With a closing price of $1,450,000, Unit 1830 closed for an astounding $2,917.51 per square foot, the highest such mark for a studio or one-bedroom condo in the history of Miami-Dade County, per the Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”) data at the time of this article. Prior to today’s closing, there had been only four studio or one-bedroom units to close for more than $2,000 per square foot within Miami-Dade County, with a previous record high of $2,244.89, set on April 29, 2013 with the closing of Unit 1807 at W South Beach. The other three such units, per MLS data, are the following:

  • Seaside Villas Unit 15612, closed January 2, 2007 at $2,096.78 per sq/ft;
  • Setai Unit 3005, closed April 18, 2013 at $2,009.75 per sq/ft; and
  • W South Beach Unit 1726, closed July 16, 2013 at $2,007.87 per sq/ft.

This record-breaking deal is tremendous news for property owners within Miami-Dade County, as it is a solid indicator of the strengthening of the Miami real estate market. We are currently seeing rapid market recovery and price-points that are surging past pre-crash values, as evidenced by four of the top five price per square foot closings taking place within the past five months. However, the record breaking closing of Unit 1830, which exceeds the previous county record by over $670 per square foot, sets a new benchmark for the Miami Beach luxury condo market moving forward!

If you are looking to sell your Miami Beach condo, please contact your Miami condo specialist, Michael Light. You never know, I may be able to set a record for you!  You may reach me on my cell at (786) 566-1700, directly at my office at (305) 350-9842 or via email at michael@miamiluxuryhomes.com.
