The Absolute Lofts is the new most exciting real estate project under development in South Beach and particularly in South Pointe, the new trendy area of Miami Beach located South of Fifth Street. The Absolute Lofts have been designed by the renowned award-winning architect Kobi Karp, who with this project has raised the standard of lofts apartments in South Beach to a new unparallel level.
This exclusive five-story building features twenty luxurious loft-type residences each one characterized by an open space area on two different levels, with dramatic 18 feet ceilings and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows. Each unit has beautiful balconies and either private gardens or private roof terraces.
Two types of units will be available: Garden Lofts (on the second and third level) and Penthouse Lofts (on the top two levels).
Garden Lofts - each residence features its own individual entrance from the street through a private garden, which leads to the first level of the loft. The apartments can also be accessed through the main entrance of the building or from the parking area. The Garden Lofts range in size from 1,150 to 1,450 square feet, plus from 400 to 800 square feet of open spaces (balconies, patios, gardens).
Penthouse Lofts - located on the third and fourth floor of the building, feature spectacular private roof-terraces on the top floor, in addition to the spacious balconies. The lofts can be accessed from the third level through stairs or elevators, either by the main entrance or the parking area. The Penthouse Lofts range in size from 1,160 to 1,458 square feet, plus form 600 to 1,000 square feet of open spaces (balconies and roof terraces).
The Absolute Lofts are located in South Pointe within South Beach. This new trendy area of Miami Beach is located South of Fifth Street. The address of the Absolute Lofts is at the corner of Michigan Avenue and 3rd Street, one block away from the beautiful Marina on the Intracoastal Way and only few blocks away from the beach and famous restaurants and clubs such as Joe Stone's Crab, Nikki Beach, Penrod's.
It is in this area that the development of a new type of apartment that now is leading the urban transformation of Miami took place: the so-called "loft". Made popular by extensive transformation of industrial units into residential ones in New York, particularly in the Soho and Tribeca areas of Manhattan, the lofts are spectacular units characterized by either a large open space on one floor, or by two-story apartments structured with open spaces between the two floors.
This new trend has been taking place in Miami only very recently, when developers realized that new younger domestic and international buyers were moving to Miami looking for an alternative to the single family homes or the high rise buildings. The loft concept provides a new environment where the owner can enjoy the comfort of a luxury amenities building while living in a more private and stimulating setting. As of today, although almost no loft project in Miami is fully completed, the commercial success of this new type of developments has been overwhelming, and several projects are currently underway around the city. And South Pointe, where it all started, became the designated ideal location for the lofts residences in South Beach. |
