Top-off

The Fairchild – Coconut Grove

The only upcoming waterfront luxury condo project in Coconut Grove celebrated its top off this March. At 75% sold, the boutique condo building is on track for a fall 2019 completion. Taking inspiration from the Fairchild botanical gardens, the 5-story building features lush gardens and a rainforest. Other amenities include a private marina, floating dock with paddleboards, an outdoor cinema, dog park, lounge, wellness spa with Hammam and rooftop pool with cabanas.

Prices for remaining units start at $2.2 million, with a choice of three- to four-bedroom residences

The Wave on Bayshore – Fort Lauderdale

The 11-story Wave on Bayshore topped off this March. A block from the beach, the condo building features 18 luxury residences with views overlooking the ocean, waterways and Fort Lauderdale. With two parking spaces per unit and electric vehicle charging stations, other amenities here include a private club room, heated pool, rooftop sun deck, fenced dog park and self-serve dog wash facility.

Prices range between $1.25 million to $2.75 million, with a choice of two- to three-bedroom residences, penthouses start at $5 million

New Sales Gallery

Elysee – Edgewater

Elysee announced the unveiling of its new sales gallery at 2955 NE 7th Avenue on April 9. On track for its 2020 opening, the 57-story glassy tower comes with 100 half-floor condos featuring a 7th floor amenity deck with pool, bar, yoga studio and children’s playground. Other amenities include a 30th floor Owners Sky Lounge equipped with a private theater/library, game room, wine room, bar and lounge area.

Prices range between $1.5 million and upward of $10 million, with a choice of three- to five-bedroom residences

Lawsuits

Parque Towers – Sunny Isles Beach

Four buyers have sued developer J. Milton & Associates to get back their deposits as construction hits delays. The unfinished project features 320 condo units spread across two towers. Amenities include resort-style pools, an exclusive kids’ club, al fresco dining, private beach club, an outdoor event space, private screening room, limo services and much more.

Representatives of the developer say that the delays are owing to “unforeseen, geological issues”, and that the buyers are trying to get their deposits back only due to a slowdown in the condo market.

Prices range between $1,075,000 and $1,470,000, with a choice of two- to four-bedroom residences

Other Updates

Arbor – Coconut Grove

Developers of this five-story condo building managed to nab a $20.66 million construction loan this March. The 52-unit boutique building is being developed in keeping with an “eco-living” theme, due to which it will feature a bike-sharing program, bicycle concierge, electric car charging stations and a yoga deck. Other amenities at this pet-friendly condo building include a lush courtyard pool, social lounge, rooftop lounge and pilates deck.

Prices start at $799,000, with a choice of two- to three-bedroom residences
