Brace yourself as we navigate through the fascinating tales of two noteworthy projects - the Opera Tower in Edgewater and the Icon Complex in Brickle. These architectural marvels have their share of interesting narratives, not to mention, a multitude of challenges that plagued their journey. From the Opera Tower's illegal short-term renting saga to the Icon Complex's legal battles and a three-year pool closure - we're pulling back the curtain on it all. We also discuss the importance of due diligence when considering condo living in large projects. We'll shed light on the new housing laws in Florida, and their implications for residents. But don't worry, it's not all about the negatives! We're also celebrating the positive strides in the Miami housing market, including the impressive sales update - we're now on Spotify, Apple, and a host of other platforms! We'll round off our discussion with an immersive tour of Midtown, a pedestrian-friendly space that once housed the Florida East Coast Railway train.
