The ICON brand of condos is certainly one of Miami’s greatest success stories. Building on the huge success of ICON South Beach and ICON Brickell, the Related Group of Florida will soon be announcing its newest flagship tower, ICON Bay.
ICON Bay will be built as 40 story tower, consisting of about 300 apartments in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom configurations, each served by a private elevator. The apartment sizes will range from 940 square feet to just under 1500 square feet. The condo complex will sit over a series of lot locations, providing for not only an impressive condo tower lifestyle, but a planned sprawling garden and common grounds area, expected to be designed by the same group that is planning the upcoming Museum of Modern Art in Miami. And, these same grounds will be a private enclave, only for residents (borrowing an idea from New York’s Gramercy Park).
All units will have direct bay views over Biscayne Bay, a feature not often found in Miami condos. The striking architecture will certainly give ICON Bay instant landmark status, as it will be immediately recognizable. The apartment designs and finishes have yet to be announced, however, it is expected that the apartments will feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows, designer appliances and nine-foot ceilings.
