Ion condo

THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD

Ion East Edgewater is a soaring 36-story luxury condominium set in the midst of one of Miami's trendiest new neighborhoods.

Located at 2701 Biscayne Boulevard, Ion is the design product of the Miami-based superstar architectural firm Arquitectonica. Here they have created a signature facade featuring a metaphoric river running through it. To match the inventive exterior, developers have engaged the award-winning Greg Bates of Hirsch Bedner Associates to design ultramodern interior spaces for the new century.

If you purchase at the Ion Miami, you will be greeted by a double-height lobby and round-the-clock concierge staff. A star chef will oversee a featured restaurant, part of the plan for 20,000 square feet of retail and dining space right on Biscayne Boulevard. The landscaping surrounding Ion is designed by the style-setting Arquitectonica GEO which recently completed design of the Perez Art Museum. Here they have chosen sustainable native-plant environs to match the Silver LEED building designation.

Amenities abound on upper floors of Ion East Edgewater, including a half-acre Sun Terrace on the 8th floor featuring:

A stunning 75-foot heated lap pool with aqua-massage seating

Reflective pool

Outdoor living rooms

Massage area and cabanas

Communal fire pit and out-door summer kitchen with chef's table.

Other features of Ion that overlook the Sun Terrace include:

State-of-the-art fitness center with a full range of equipment

Outdoor gym and yoga area

Event lounge.

Meanwhile, buying at the Ion will allow you to enjoy a dip in the plunge pool on the 37th-foor Sky Deck or take in views of the Bay and the City from the residents' sky bar and lounge or from the exclusive sunning terrace.

All units feature private terraces ringed by glass-lined railings to allow for a full view to sky and water. The view from inside each residence is unimpeded through floor-to-ceiling hurricane-rated doors and windows. Spaciousness is magnified by 9-foot ceilings in most units. The penthouses offer lofty 10-foot and, for grand penthouses, 11-foot ceiling heights.

Your choices in residential purchase options include:

One-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans

Two-bedroom duplex townhouses

Grand Penthouse.

The clean-lined modern residential interiors are complemented by European-style cabinetry, stone-finish countertops and stainless steel energy-efficient appliances. Most units include Japanese wet areas in spacious bathrooms that include soaking tubs and glass-enclosed showers. To help with design decisions, you may opt for a turnkey move-in package. All the energy-efficient residences provide the latest in built-in communications technology.

Residents may utilize the executive business center and the conference room on the second floor. Parking garage access is controlled. Valet service is offered 24/7.
