It may sound to good to be true but it’s true.

Miami’s hottest new address is The Residences at Island Gardens located on Watson Island perfectly situated between South Beach and the magic cities downtown.  We all know the state of the market right now,  however sales have been swift at The Residences.  Part of this is due in fact to the ultra - luxurious amenities that you will see later in this blog and the other is the fractional form of ownership.

When I first heard of fractional ownership I thought like most people of timeshares.  I could not have been any farther from the truth.  Fractional ownerships have a myriad of benefits that far surpasses anything a timeshare can offer.  I have plenty of information that back this available but I will not go into it in depth here.  Last year alone fractional ownership sales exploded over 20% accounting for over $1.98 billion in sales.  Yes that is Billion with a “B”,  and that’s with consumer confidence down in a bad market!

There will also be a Super Yaght Harbor at Island Gardens.  The Harbor is the only one of its kind in all North America that 50 super yaghts from 80 to 300 feet can moor simultaneously.  The harbor will serve as a true international port of entry.  The Deep Harbor will of course offer superior service to all yacht owners that dock there.

The following are some of the amenities offered to owners:

• North Americas ONLY Deep Harbor for Super Yachts
• Management available by exclusive Shangra - La Resorts
• Lush Botanical Gardens provided by the famous Fairchild Tropical Gradens
• Cutting - edge shopping and world class dinning on site ( over 60 shops )
• Exclusive private beach club located on famed South Beach
• A private fleet of 3 Rolls Royce Phantoms and 12 Mercedes E - Class for owners
• Daily housekeeping
• 24 hour concierge
• Butler and room service
• Membership in the Yacht ownership program ( use of a 3 stateroom 65 ft Tiera yacht )
• Privileged access to CHI the world class spa at Shangra- La
• Resort style residence private pool
• Pre - arrival grocery shopping
• Condos are fully furnished by Italy’s most famed designer Piero Lissoni
• 1000 ft waterfront promenade of palms

The residences are being offered from the  mid $200’s.  There is truly not another development in Miami that provides so much of a lifestyle for such an affordable price.  A select few will have the opportunity to own all of the fractional interests in the penthouse units.  One of the largest penthouse units recently sold at Art Basel in Miami for $15 million.  There are a select number of penthouses still available but with these amenities will not last long.

I am trying very hard to not have this blog post sound like a sales add but there is truly so much offered at The Residences at Island Gardens that it is hard not to get excited.  This will far surpass any development that the City of Miami has ever seen and will set the bar for luxury lifestyle.  If you had the opportunity and means to own here why wouldn’t you?

Six Projects including Icon Brickell Built by Jorge Perez’s Related Group and the massive Biscayne Landing project in North Miami could receive 47 million in tax breaks meant to draw business to distressed areas. This proposal would be possible by moving the boundaries of the county’s Enterprise Zone. This 47 million is more than was given to every business in every enterprise zone in the entire state in 2006-07. The county said it would benefit from this as developers agreed to return 10 percent of their rebates to support a new affordable housing trust fund, but only two of the six projects promise to build homes that meet the county’s definition of “affordable.” The state still must approve this boundary change, which would also make the projects eligible for corporate income tax breaks.– Miami Herald September 10, 2008 (Matthew I.
