Pull over into the designated space. Turn off the engine. And enjoy the  oceanfront view as you escalate in a glass elevator that takes you, while you  are sitting in your car, to the front door of your apartment.

No, this is not the latest Disney ride.

Porsche Design Condo Tower in Sunny Isles Beach (786) 406-1757

The $560 million Jetsonesque tower will rise in Sunny Isles Beach as part of  a collaboration between Germany-based Porsche Design Group and a local  developer, Gil Dezer. It likely will be  the world’s first condominium complex  with elevators that will take residents directly to their units while they are  sitting in their cars.

“You don’t have to leave your car until you are in front of your apartment,” said Juergen Gessler, CEO of Porsche Design Group.

Here is how it will work: After the resident pulls over and switches off the  engine, a robotic arm that works much like an automatic plank will scoop up the  car and put it into the elevator. Once at the desired floor, the same robotic  arm will park the car, leaving the resident nearly in front of his front door.  Voila, home!

The glass elevators will give residents and their guests unparalleled views  of the city or of the ocean during their high-speed ride, expected to last 45 to  90 seconds.

“What this is really doing is taking two technologies that have existed for  centuries and putting them together,” said Gil Dezer, president of Dezer  Properties. “It’s taking the robotic arm and it’s putting it in an elevator.”

The building, to named Porsche Design Tower, was approved unanimously  Thursday night by the Sunny Isles Beach City Commission. Before the meeting,  Mayor Norman S. Edelcup said he had not heard any opposition to the plan.

The cylindrical building will be erected on 2.2 acres of land at 18555  Collins Avenue. The 57-story luxury tower will have 132 units. Smaller units  will be allocated two parking spaces and larger ones will have four, with 284  robotic parking spaces in total. There will be three elevators.

Residents will be able to see their cars from their living rooms.

“So people with fancy cars and antiques, they will actually have a really  nice view of them,’’  Dezer said.

Units will range from 3,800 to 9,500 square feet and could cost up to $9  million.

The car elevators are the latest twist on Miami Beach’s burgeoning passion  for designer parking garages. The highly acclaimed 1111 Lincoln Road designed by  Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron opened in 2009; also planned are garages  by London architect Zaha Hadid, Mexico’s Enrique Norten and Miami’s own  Arquitechonica.

Dezer said his hopes are that many other buildings in the United States and  the rest of the world will be constructed following the Porsche Design Tower  model.

But this will be the first and last one in South Florida, he said.

“We want to keep this really exclusive and not have this become a McDonald’s  kind of style. The tower is going to change the skyline of Miami Beach,” Dezer  said. “This is something Floridians should be proud to have in their state.”

http://www.sunnyislesbeachbroker.com/blogs/katerina_brosda/archive/2011/07/27/W-Hotel-and-condos-South-Beach_3A00_-Brasileiros-est_E300_o-comprando-im_F300_veis-com-desconto-em-Miami_2C00_-por-pre_E700_os-muito-baratos.aspx

But those Brazilians spent $1.4 billion in Florida, mostly in Miami and Orlando last year, nearly twice the level of their counterparts from the U.K.

Some Brazialians come to Miami Beach to buy one oceanfront condo and ending up buying two or three. One for themselves, and the others for investment purposes.

Obviously this is not an easy to answer question, as taste and lifestyle requirements vary amongst Miami condo buyers. What would be important to us might not be important to you and vice versa.

One Bal Harbour was constructed by WCI, at its time, one of the most prestigious builders in Florida. The quality of construction and finishes can be experienced at every corner of this certainly most prestigious oceanfront resort and condominium in Bal Harbour – the small luxury village to the north of South Beach. The developers placed millions of dollars worth of art in and around the property, making it one of the truly rare exceptions in Miami Beach.

The One Bal Harbour property is a landmark on the Miami Beach skyline and considered the premier boutique condo-hotel and residential tower development in the upscale enclave of Bal Harbour.

Arriving at One Bal Harbour in fact feels like coming home. Its location is most unique compared to anywhere in Southeast Florida, right at the Inlet to the Intracoastal at the northern gateway to the village with unobstructed ocean and city views.  On weekends or sunny afternoons, mega yachts silently parade by One Bal Harbour and anchor in front of Oleta Island.

Mr. Collins, the chic resort restaurant, serves up some of the finest All-American fare, at reasonable prices and extremely attentive service. The wine cellar is awesome with an out-of-the-ordinary selection for Miami Beach establishments – and why not sit on the Guy Dill Terrace, perhaps next to Jessica Szohr, Pete Wentz or Venus Williams and enjoy a glass of fine French wine, whilst being enchanted by the magnificent sunset over Keystone Islands.

The atmosphere is somewhat laidback, quiet, tranquil – this goes for the SPA, the beach club and pool deck. No loud noises here (except for some of the Ferraris and Lamborghinis that are being brought onto the porte-cochère by valet), just quiet, subtle sophistication and owners as well as resort guests appreciate that value in a luxury oceanfront property.

And for those who like to dive into the action of South Beach once in a while, it’s only a stone’s throw away.

So when you ask us, “And how do you like One Bal Harbour?” and we are telling you what we just told you and if this appeals to you, this is exactly what you have been looking for, then we probably should go and take a look at this gorgeous oceanfront property, as the spacious, bright and well designed condos with spectacular views will not disappoint you but, exceed your expectations.
