Aqua on Allison Island
Filed under: Estates
The Miami Herald had a story this weekend on Aqua on Allison Island, the new condo development in Miami Beach. The development of candy-colored homes sits on Allison Island in Indian Creek. The development includes townhouses and condo towers and is meant to reflect Modernism and a New Urbanist outlook. The development includes a gym but not golf course or tennis courts and the townhomes don't have their own yards. The island is surrounded by a walkway and there are two pools. Each street on the island ends in a water vista. The island has no retail and there is a gate at the entrance so it's not exactly an urban utopia but the developer sees the development as a mini-city where people can hang out, share ideas and enjoy a sense of community, fabulous community of course. Buying in at Aqua can cost $895,000 to $4.9 million. The developer has sold all 105 condos and just six townhouses are left.
