Yesterday, I had an opportunity to go over to Paramount Bay to take a sneak peek at the development. My clients were interested in 3 bedrooms so I was able to take a look at the two ends of the building. Below you will see the photos from my trip. Please excuse the quality of some of the photographs - I had to take them with my BlackBerry Storm. I was expecting some rainfall right before I walked over to the building so I left my Nikon at home. Well the wait is over… Here are the photos:

Paramount Bay Condo is one of the last luxury condominiums to be completed in South Florida. I expect the building to officially open its doors in May/June of 2009. What makes the building stand out is the exclusive lifestyle homeowners will experience. Every single line in the building has a private elevator that makes 12 private elevators. And in addition there are 4 service elevators. There is also two swimming pools - one on the East side of the development which will give you morning sun, and one on the West side which will allow you afternoon sun. Additionally there will be an on-site diner - which will be perfect for ordering room-service and also a more formal restaurant overlooking Biscayne Bay. There will be a full service gym, spa, theater and market as well. The area surrounding the building - the Miami Arts District - is still a work in progress. I’ve lived here for the last 5 years and I’ve seen the boom and now the slow down in the rehab of the neighborhood. But business owners and residents are still moving into the area and improving it. I did not take any photos of the lobby or amenities as the building was still in the construction phase and everything was not installed yet.
