The Bond on Brickell – Another Brickell Vision Turning into a Reality

the-bond-on-brickell-condos-for-sale
Yet again…another Brickell vision is turning into a reality.  The Bond on Brickell is set to break ground this fall and place yet another new condominium building in the center of all of the Brickell action. 

The Bond on Brickell
The Bond on Brickell, originally placed on the back burner following the real estate crash a few years ago, is back and slated to begin construction in October.  The 44-story residential tower will house 323 condominium residences with a variety of accommodations including studios, one, two and three-bedroom units along with lofts and penthouses.  According to an article in the Miami Herald, Alan Ojeda, President/CEO the Rilea Group, says he is “looking for a very urban, New York/London feel -- not flashy, but solid, sound elegance.”  From the looks of The Bond on Brickell, elegance is the perfect word to describe it.  It features a very attractive contemporary design with sleek lines.  The design is to appeal to a wide range of buyers from all over the world. 

The People Involved Bringing The Bond on Brickell to Life
As a premiere Miami developer, the Rilea Group is coming to the table with a strong set of players bringing The Bond on Brickell to life.  The Rilea Group is well-known in Miami for other downtown buildings including One Broadway Brickell, Met 1 Miami (acting as project managers), 1450 Brickell Avenue, and Sabadell Financial Center also in Brickell.  Much of the original plans that were put in the drawer have been pulled back out to proceed as originally planned and with the same players.  Responsible for bringing conceptual ideas to life on paper is the Coral Gables architectural firm of Nichols, Brosch, Wurst, Wolfe, and Associates which did the same for the Plaza on Brickell, Fontainebleau II and more.  Coastal Construction (Aqua Island, Trump Hollywood) is pegged to take the plans and turn them into a building with Loguer handling the interior design. 

the-bond-on-brickell
The Location of The Bond on Brickell
Located on one of the absolute best blocks in Brickell, The Bond’s address is 1080 Brickell Avenue.  With a Brickell address, the building is planned to feature a narrow stretch of frontage on Brickell Avenue but and extend along the new and gorgeous Brickell Flatiron Park (can you say ‘view’?).  The best part about the location is that because it is adjacent to the park, there is no chance of another skyscraper popping up next to it in the next few years.  Additionally, the condominium tower is within walking distance to everything in Brickell including Mary Brickell Village, American Airlines Arena, Brickell CityCentre, and the Performing Arts Center as well as excellent Brickell restaurants and night-time hot spots.

Amenities at The Bond on Brickell
Luxury is the word of the day at The Bond and with it come unbelievable amenities that are expected with any luxury condominium.  As residents enter the gorgeous contemporary lobby, they realize they are in what will be one of the most sought after addresses in Brickell.  From there, residents have the use of the resort-style pool facilities with a canopied Jacuzzi, super cabanas that feature private living rooms and outdoor kitchens, an outdoor fire pit, library with screening room, a great kid’s club and learning center (not common in Brickell condos), an executive business center, state-of-the-art fitness center, separate spa facilities that include a steam room and sauna for men and women ,a club room with billiards tables and bar, a private owner’s Lounge with daily refreshments, and so many more amenities that are standard. 

Inside each residence, owners can expect to have the most modern and up-to-date fixtures and finishes from which to pick when designing the interior.  From floor to ceiling impact resistant windows to technology packages that make life easy and convenient to balconies offering beautiful city and water views to walk-in closets (two in some master suites), each residence is going to appeal to buyers wanting a beautiful and luxurious interior.

Personalidad y Originalidad: Miami Design District

Las vías de un tren anuncian la exclusividad que se abre en calles amplias y bien iluminadas. Un tren, el estandarte de una sociedad más industrial que digital, resulta cuando menos exótico en este tiempo. Especialmente en una ciudad donde la historia es reciente y su imagen sigue a la sombra de una palmera y camisas hawaianas. Pero algo está cambiando en Miami, y estamos en el lugar indicado para comprobarlo.

miami design districtMuchos lo imaginan, pero sólo los privilegiados saben con certeza cómo se vive realmente en esta ciudad. Por ser dueña del verano, por sus fiestas, su pluralidad cultural, sus 55 millones de turistas al año y los innumerables centros comerciales de los que hace alarde, a algunos les cuesta imaginar una Miami cultural, con personalidad bohemia, de sabores artísticos. Sin embargo, detrás de unas vías férreas, a 10 minutos del mar y bajo el mismo cielo de verano infinito, hay un terruño de personalidad reservada: Miami Design District -Distrito del Diseño.

La historia del Miami Design District está, sin duda, bien dibujada. Llevaba más de 15 años en planos e ideas, esperando su oportunidad para convertirse en realidad. Su aparición no ha podido ser más oportuna en una ciudad que respira nuevos aires. Este proyecto vivo de ciudad rescató algunas propiedades históricas y construye algunas otras para hacer historia. En 2012 se inició un proceso que abarcará la construcción y reconstrucción de más de 540,000 pies cuadrados, la inversión de más de 312 millones de US $, un hotel, un mall y alrededor de 100 viviendas en una zona que, en principio, sería sólo comercial pero que su particularidad ha hecho que sea un lugar donde muchos quieren vivir. 

El líder y visionario del Distrito, Craig Robins, lo expresó recientemente: "la zona ya está estupenda, pero su transformación será exponencial". Y es cierto.

miami design district walking Huele a sol pero, a pesar de tener tan cerca el mar, el salitre no se siente. Aquí el verano nos regala su temperatura ideal para disfrutar de los verdaderos protagonistas: la exclusividad, la originalidad, el buen gusto y, obviamente, el diseño: todo es de diseño. Todo es diferente. Especial.

Hasta el lujo clásico se adapta a este particular lugar. Dior, Berluti, Hermes, Loui Vuitton, han asumido la personalidad del distrito jugando con elementos antiguos, haciendo arte con sus logos, fusionándose con los faroles de época que alumbran la calle al atardecer y compartiendo el vecindario con tiendas sencillas, curiosas, únicas. Estas calles son espacios para la creatividad, el arte y los sabores exquisitos 

Sólo aquí podemos ver a una Frida moderna en una fachada de los años 50, a un chef israelí haciendo pizza de camarones sobre queso peccorino y sirviendo el agua en una botella de taberna, una casita blanca con un aviso irresistible: "Postres para el alma | Café, Dulces y Vino en la terraza". También podemos sentarnos en una banca a dejar que el sol de Miami nos deje ciegos y luego, a la luz de la noche elegir dónde cenar .

Miami Design District es un lugar para habitar y vivir. Aquí lo común y lo corriente no puede subirse al tren.

Mary Brickell Village Restaurants Offer the Perfect Place for Every Occasion

It never fails.  The question of where to eat becomes the main topic of conversation with just about everyone at one time or another.  Whether it is picking the perfect place for a first date, hosting a business lunch or figuring out “what you are in the mood for” while shopping, after work, or on the weekend, Mary Brickell Village restaurants offer the perfect place for every occasion. 

Dining Out on Date Night/Special Occasions.  There is nothing like going out to dinner (or lunch) in Miami – especially in Brickell.  For special occasions like anniversaries, date night (first ones especially!), or any night that you need to feel a little nurtured, plan to dine at one of the chic restaurants at #Mary Brickell Village.  At any of these, it is all about ambiance. 

mary-brickell-village
A favorite of locals and visitors to Miami love the Oceanaire Seafood Room.  From the dim lighting to the rich looking décor and large wine glasses to the fresh seafood delicacies, this is always a top recommendation from most anyone who lives in Brickell and other parts of Miami alike.  One very nice touch that sets it apart from other area establishments is that the chef has the menu reprinted twice a day so that they are on top of the local catches they get. 

Another wonderful place for family and friendly get togethers is Toscano Divino.  When we say it is some of the best Italian food you will ever have, we mean it.  OMG!  No matter the simplicity of the meal (after all, it is pasta), the flavor is something to be savored to the point that you enjoy each bite.  Add to that an incredible wine list and you are guaranteed a perfect evening.  Make sure to get there a little ahead of your reservation so that you can have a drink at the bar then eat inside or outside.  No matter the atmosphere you will have a great meal. 

mary-brickell-village
Just Grabbing Dinner on the Fly.  There are a few restaurants at Mary Brickell that are perfect when you are just grabbing dinner on the fly.  One is Balans.  It has a nice atmosphere with good food that is not too terribly pricey.  There always seems to be a wait which means a lot of people like to eat at Balans so seating yourself at the bar is a good plan.  Speaking of the bar, Balans always has Happy Hour specials with food and drinks so sneak in a little early for a light dinner. 

We cannot forget to mention PF Chang’s – a favorite of anybody anywhere.  Have you ever wondered how many Lettuce Wraps they make each day between lunch and dinner?  While so many visiting Miami want to dine at new places, PF Chang’s is one of those fall backs when everything is jam packed.  You can always count on a good meal and nice wine.

mary-brickell-village
Wanting Something Really Casual. When you want something really casual, there is nothing like a good juicy burger from Burger and Beer Joint.  You can build your own burger or order one of their specialties off the menu and enjoy onion rings and ice cold beer with them.  It does not get much better than that. 
When your inner Southerner takes over, you need to have dinner at Brother Jimmy’s.  The South (no not Florida) is known for its barbecue and in North Carolina alone is a big barbecue state.  At Brother Jimmy’s, everyone can have some of the best NC barbecue as well as other Southern specialties like fried chicken and catfish or burgers and salads.  No matter what, you know you are going to have a great meal that is not the typical “Miami fare.”  Brother Jimmy’s is great for a weekend lunch or dinner at the end of a day of shopping.


Brickell Residents Always Go to Brickell Village
Mary Brickell Village definitely has some great restaurants.  No matter your craving or the amount of time you have, you can guarantee that you will find it there.  Whether it is a simple business lunch, a lavish dinner or just a quick bite, Brickell residents and visitors always go to Mary Brickell Village.

Fashion.  There are several clothing stores and boutiques inside Mary Brickell Village that capture the essence of the Miami scene.  Since it is all about appearance, clothing plays a big part.  Some of the favorites are Joanna Paige which has the greatest shoe and accessories collections, Atik Shop, Martha Rey and Blush Brickell for the most up to date fashions, and Peace Love World for casual clothes just to name a few. 

mary-brickell-village-salons
Services.  Of course, because so many Brickell residents need convenience more than anything, there are the businesses and services that everyone needs such as salons and barbers like Blo Blow Dry Bar, Razzle Dazzle Barber Shop, jewelers, florists, Fed Ex Kinkos, dry cleaners and more.

Everything in One Place

One key factor to living in Brickell is convenience.  The shops at Mary Brickell Village make it possible to have everything in one place.  It is so easy to quickly stroll over to the center during work or casually meander throughout the center on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.  While it is a frequent stop for Brickell residents, it is also a destination for those living in other parts of Miami-Dade County.  Mary Brickell Village is definitely the hub of Brickell.
