The Residences at 1428 Brickell Best Floor Plan

Introduction

This article was written on the back of my fifth visit to the 1428 sales gallery. The first time was to independently review the project against the other top Brickell Condos. The following four times were with personal clients. Each time I learned something new about the project. However, what I learned most was the lines (unit floor plans) that made the most sense. The floor plans that were unique to the rest of the market, but most importantly the ones that created benefit above and beyond what I have seen in the building and elsewhere. Having sold luxury and penthouse units for years I can attest to what actually works. As opposed to what works on paper. I cannot count the times when I see buyers imagine buying a unit one way and then when they move in realizing that it does not work. I am fortunate to be married to a star interior designer and I have learned to understand proper ‘place planning’ which is a key part of good interior design.

These are my findings. As always, whether you are reading in detail or skimming for information. Enjoy the article and don’t forget to read my conclusions at the end!

The E residences at 1428 Brickell are really designed to be a home in the sky. The developer looked at functionality and livability to really cater to those families that want the functionality of a house, while not comprising of amenities and services.

Why Choose the 02 Line at 1428 Brickell?

Those looking for new construction in the Brickell area will mostly look at 1428 Brickell, Cipriani Brickell, and St Regis Brickell, They all have their pros and cons, it’s just about what works or what does not work for you. In all three condos, you will find large residences that can substitute for single-family living. 

What I like specifically about the E line is that in addition to three bedrooms on the second level, there is a bedroom downstairs that can work as an office. If you convert this bedroom into an office, you still have great views over the skyline. You don’t sit in some backroom like in many other condos with converted offices. Another option is to break open the wall between the living room and the downstairs bedroom. This creates a very large living room adding an additional 11 ft of frontage, making it 40 ft of frontage in total. This is comparable or even better than some of the penthouse units in the building, that come with a much higher price tag. These potential changes bring a lot of value to the unit.

David’s Conclusions

As more and more Miami buyers move towards ‘primary vertical living’, the demand for large units will only increase. The appreciation of primary real estate will always outpace the appreciation of rental properties. My experience tells me that the more akin a condo residence replicates the benefits of a house the better it will do. Two level units that have existed up to this point in Miami have either been penthouses or duplex units which have been very limited. Many duplexes lack elevator access to a second floor, which makes them problematic for many older buyers. I believe the 02 / 04 line units at 1428 are unique enough to appreciate more than the rest. The prices currently (and they can change depending on when you read this article) are compelling enough to be a top choice.
