Apogee Miami Beach

Apogee is an impressive building, and it is definitely one of the premier condos in Miami Beach, if not all of South Florida if it lives up to the hype. It is located in the South Pointe area of South Beach nestled between Murano at Portofino and Portofino Towers, and it is directly across Fisher Island and Government Cut, so it has great water views looking south.

 

 

 

Apogee Resales have started. The building is nearly complete and started closings in mid-January of 2008. It was built by The Related Group of Florida on a 2.88-acre site and 500 linear feet of unobstructed bayfront views on the last waterfront site at the southern tip of South Beach. As the crown jewel of the Related Group, Apogee has been created and designed for the ultra rich and is supposed to surpass Related’s other projects in South Beach like the Icon, Murano Grande, Murano at Portofino and Portofino Tower.

Large Living Spaces. With 68 residences in the entire building, there are only 4 units on each floor on 17 floors (starting on the 6^th floor). Each residence has a flow-through design to give each unit a water and city view. the residences are very large with 2 basic sizes. The smaller residences are located in the middle of the building facing north and south and have 3,100 sq. ft. of interior space with 2 balconies totaling about 1,100 sq.ft. and the larger residences are located at the east and west ends of the building with approximately 4,100 sq. ft. of interior space and a 2,400 sq. ft. wrap-around balcony with 270 degree panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and downtown Miami. The balconies are all 11 feet deep and feature electric outdoor grills. ranges Residences and penthouses range from 3,100 to over 4,000 sq. ft. with 11 foot deep balconies ranging from 1,100 sq. ft. to over 2,000 sq. ft.

Truly Unique. Everything about Apogee exudes affluence and sophistication. Imagine entering a lobby with a waterfall and 40 foot high ceilings in a natural setting designed by one of the top interior designer teams in the world. The pool area is unlike anything I have seen at a condo with pods extending out into the pool and the view overlooking the Government Cut, Fisher Island, the Atlantic Ocean and downtown Miami.

Apogee is definitely different and looks it. Apogee sits on a lit reflecting pool, so it gives the appearance of floating on 40-foot columns. The Lobby and common areas were created by world famous interior designers Yabu Pushelberg, and the architecture by the renowned Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership. It also features artwork by Cuban-born Jose Bedia, who is Miami-based and whose work is featured in several prominent museums and galleries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Located conveniently in the South of Fifth neighborhood

Apogee is well situated in the South Pointe neighborhood (also referred to as South of Fifth or SoFi). It is within easy walking distance of the beach and restaurants like Prime 112, Smith and Wollensky, Nemos and Joe’s Stone Crabs. This residential neighborhood is relatively quiet when compared to the rest of South Beach, however, Lincoln Road and other attractions in South Beach are within one mile.

Miami International Airport is 15-20 minutes away depending on traffic; Jackson Memorial Hospital, which is part of the University of Miami Hospital system is even closer. Mount Sinai, another prominent hospital is 3-4 miles north. The newly completed Performing Arts Center is 5-10 minutes away just across Biscayne Bay and is situated next to American Airlines Arena, which hosts several professional sports teams like the Miami Heat. The Bayside Shopping Mall is next door as is The Port of Miami, which is where the cruise ships depart. Only several blocks away is Macarthur Causeway (395). It becomes a major highway (I-95) and provides travelers with easy access to most of the Miami area, including Downtown Miami, Brickell (the Financial Center), and Bayside Shopping Mall, the Miami River, as well as nearby Key Biscayne, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove.
