Blue - Miami

The hottest real estate market in South Florida today is Uptown Miami, a 25 block stretch along Biscayne Blvd. and the Bay, between the Design District to the north and the new Performing Arts Center to the south.

Known as Miami's heart of the arts, the neighborhood is exploding with new restaurants, boutiques, galleries and cafés, with over $1 billion in new development attracting over 6000 new residents in the condominiums and apartments now being built.

This is the home of blue

Located in an area that is undergoing a development renaissance including new restaurants, clubs, shops, and galleries, the 330-unit tower is the first project for Hyperion Development Group, a partnership between high-tech legends, Jim Clark and Thomas Jermoluk of Netscape and Silicon Graphics fame, and Paul Murphy, well-known local builder-developer. "Blue is the landmark that will announce the gateway to Uptown Miami for travelers between the beach and the international airport," states Jermoluk, "so it had to be visually stunning."

Designed by architects Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Spear, founders of world-renowned Arquitectonica, Blue's unique design will provide every residence an unobstructed panoramic view of Biscayne Bay, the Design District, Miami Beach and the ocean. Alison Spear, the well-known Miami and New York designer, will be designing many of the residential interiors.

A curving drive that circles under a porte cochere bordered by a glass block waterfall is a prelude to the sleek, lobby that awaits featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls and marble floors. The 6th floor Sky Deck overlooks Biscayne Bay and will offer indoor and outdoor amenities including: Spa Blue, a fitness center and spa featuring a lap pool and bay-view yoga garden, a Cyber Center offering a state-of-the-art Internet Business Center, and a rooftop garden and pool. A full list of concierge and valet services and a waterside restaurant will be available to residents as well.
