Chandler,
One thing I have learned about amenities while selling condos for the last 15 years: everybody wants them and nobody uses them.

As for “lack” of amenities in the buildings you mentioned, the developers “have” to load up on that stuff because they know the locations are not AAA.

Excellent post. It’s great seeing some of the conclusions that I’ve come to own my own over the years be included in your tips…I guess I’m good.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on Icon South Beach and Murano Grande and I’m wondering how low they can go. They are turning into deals.

One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that in newer buildings downtown (like ten museum, 50 Biscayne) and to be completed ones (like Icon Brickell) have far superior amenities (pool areas, gyms, restaurants, etc.) than pretty much anything available on the Beach.

Although it’s not a “deal,” I think Continuum II is one of the best looking buildings that I’ve seen in Miami. Everyone seems to be doing curves – I’m glad Continuum has those Gothic peaks.
