Miami, FL – Aug/ 8, 2011 – Downtown Miami’s newest luxury condominium, the magnificent Marquis Residences (top left photo), recently reached a significant milestone of being 70 percent sold. Located at 1100 Biscayne Boulevard, the 67-story high-rise – the tallest of any residential building on Biscayne – remains red-hot among both brokers and buyers.“Reaching this remarkable milestone in a short amount of time is a testament to the uniqueness of Marquis Residences,” says Alicia Cervera (middle right photo) of Cervera Real Estate, the exclusive sales and marketing firm for Marquis.
“Between the product that Marquis delivers and the efforts of the onsite sales team – along with technology advances – there was no doubt in my mind that we wouldn’t reach impressive numbers with exceptional speed.”
With the introduction of the custom-designed iPad Sage app, Marquis Residences’ newest high-tech sales tool, brokers can now offer international clients remote, in-depth tours of specific homes, allowing interested buyers to visit Marquis without physically entering the building or even Miami.
“Sage’s 3D-generated look creates an up-close, panoramic experience, with vivid views that were previously accessible only in-person,” notes Lori Ordover (middle left photo), managing member of The Ordover Group, sales and marketing consultant for Africa-Israel USA.
“One recent buyer purchased his residence based solely on experiencing the home – its views, finishes as well as the building’s amenities by viewing it on the Sage iPad app.”
At Marquis Residences, 60 percent of buyers are foreign, with the bulk being Brazilians. Other buyers hail from Italy, Singapore and France. Although Brazilians are increasingly buying up properties throughout South Florida, Marquis is uniquely attractive because of its relatively small scale – 292 units as opposed to nearby properties which house as many as 1,800 condominiums in one development.
And, with increased interest from the overseas community, Americor Mortgage has begun handling the international loans, providing speedy approval processes and faster closing times. Buyers are now closing in 15-20 days through Americor, compared to the traditional bank route that can take well over a month.
“It’s a hassle-free and speedy process that Americor Mortgage has provided for our international buyers and we’re delighted to be working with them,” continues Ordover. “We are seeing buyers from Venezuela, Columbia, Greece, Italy and many more thanks to the addition of Americor.”
Marquis Residences consists of single-level homes, duplex townhouses and suites, all furnished with high-end stainless steel Viking appliances in European-style gourmet kitchens, including a choice of teak, zebrano and other exotic natural wood cabinetry. All bathrooms are by Sand Studio and feature Duravit Starck water closets and double sink.
Residents have access to luxury five-star hotel services, including concierge, security, valet, housekeeping and room service. An 8,000-square-foot spa and fitness center overlooks the Biscayne Bay, while the 14th floor sky pool and private balconies offer stunning views of the city below.
There is private elevator access to many of the homes and residents can dine out at Tempo Miami’s chic Amuse Restaurant & Lounge (lower right photo), or enjoy their full menu in the privacy of their own homes.
Homes start at $590,000 for a 1,477-square-foot two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath residence and go up to $2.2 million for a 3,017-square-foot, two-and-a-half bedroom, two-and-a-half bath duplex penthouse.
