What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Miami?
How about something like–south beach, sun, ocean, sand, restaurants galore, luxurious lifestyle, hot weather, hot people… Does that sound about right? These are just some of the reasons why this International Paradise continues to draw so many people from all over the world. The change now is that many of these so called “tourists” are actually investing in Miami, particularly Condos in and around Miami and on the beach. The main reason is that the true value is here for the taking and swiftly moving, as new inventories continue to diminish. I have been sharing these secrets with my clients for quite some time, so don’t just take my word on the topic, just check out the latest purchase from a Basketball Star that had the same idea.
NBA Basketball Star Kevin Durant did and for all the right reasons. According to the South Florida Business Journal, K. Durant Enterprises bought a $1.825 million, three bedrooms, and 3,535-square foot unit at 900 Biscayne Boulevard and closed on the property on March 30, 2011. This 63-story skyscraper is just blocks away from American Airlines Arena, home of the Miami Heat, and only a short drive from Miami Beach. Durant will become neighbors with Heat star Dwayne Wade, who also lives in the building. Kevin could purchase a residence anywhere in the U.S., so why Miami?
First, let’s start with the crazy-incredible views from this building. You have a full panoramic of the ocean, South Beach, downtown Miami, and the cruise ships that look like they are floating right in your living room. How about the lifestyle of downtown Miami? Anchoring one end of the city is the fabulous Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, where one can see the ballet, musical performances, art and cultural experiences. Right next to that you have a brand new $275 million science museum currently under construction. Next to this you have American Airlines Arena, home of the Miami Heat and an electric place to see concerts and events all year long! Gourmet food trucks run throughout the city and famous celebrity chefs continue to open restaurants that only used to be in NY. It’s simply amazing!
I could go on and on with all the reasons why I think that Miami is such a great place to live the lifestyle you dream of and deserve. It brought me here, and it brought Kevin Durant, so watch out it might just bring you too!
