Miami Beach Condo Project


The View from Island Avenue, Miami Video

Gina Kirkpatrick, Miami real estate broker, shows Bob a building at the Miami Beach end of the Venetian Causeway, 5 Island Avenue. Morris Lapidus, designer of the Hotel Fontainebleau, designed this building as apartments back in 1967. The apartments were later converted to condos. The building houses some "reasonably priced" condominiums that are just far enough away from the beach to be affordable and just close enough to everything else to make for an excellent getaway second home in the Miami area. Kirkpatrick guides Bob through his initial tour of the one-bedroom 950-square-foot condo, its views, features, and possibilities.
