The Residences at Six Fisher Island | An Independent Review

This blog and video interview provide an unbiased review of the newly constructed Residences at Six Fisher Island. We attended the launch party at the sales center, where we discussed project details, explored the island, and examined the top floor plans. As always, we provide guidance on who would appreciate this condo style and who may not find it suitable. Additionally, we compare it to other luxury condos in terms of price per square foot.

The Lifestyle of Fisher Island: Miami’s Exclusive Retreat

Fisher Island stands out as the priciest zip code in the US, and it’s earned that reputation for good reasons. Tucked away from the mainland, it provides unmatched seclusion and unparalleled privacy, along with all the essential facilities right within reach. On the island, you’ll find healthcare services, sports amenities, a school, and everything else you need for daily life.  While Fisher Island feels like a different world, you are just minutes away from South Beach and the mainland. Safety is a key priority on the island due to the restricted access, which is limited to ferry, boat, or helicopter.

If you’re in search of a secure and private haven away from Miami’s hustle and bustle while still being close to the action, Fisher Island fits the bill perfectly. Our thorough investigation into Miami’s top condominiums uncovered a common thread: they all offer an array of services and facilities within ample space while maintaining utmost privacy. Fisher Island epitomizes this trend. It’s not merely a resort; it offers a lifestyle akin to a country club, boasting amenities like golf courses, tennis courts, a spa, a gym, a marina, and private beaches. If you value top-notch amenities, privacy, and a high-end lifestyle, Fisher Island emerges as the ultimate choice.

Fisher Island’s Newest Condo: Six Fisher Island

Six offers only 51 units, but many buyers have already combined units, likely resulting in around 40 units in total. The Penthouses have already been sold. The buyers attracted to this project are familiar with the architect and the island. In fact, many of them already reside on the island and are looking to upgrade to a larger or newer unit.

The only two new construction condos on Fisher Island are Palazzo della Luna and Palazzo del Sol. Similar to Six, these are also designed by renowned Miami architect Kobi Karp. These residences are intended to be an improved version of the Palazzos. The terraces now feature glass, which is architecturally different from before when it wasn’t allowed. This addition enhances the view. The terraces are now 15 feet deep, offering much more space. Additionally, there are 55,000 square feet of amenities including a gym, spa, concierge butler, and two guest suites, among others. In addition to differing design aspects and more amenities, Six will be the last new construction project on the island for the foreseeable future.

The three top reasons to buy

• Exclusivity and privacy. The island offers only luxury condos and homes and the island is accessible only by ferry, boat, or helicopter
• Lifestyle: You do not have to leave the island as it provides you with all the conveniences like amenities, sports, a school, conference rooms, and healthcare facilities. Check the amenities here
• The amenities are vast both at Six as well as on Fisher Island. The building offers resort-style amenities and concierge services, catering to primary residents who desire spacious residences with the conveniences of condo living.

How Does Six Fisher Island Stand Out?

We have analyzed the condo market for over ten years and the condos that do best are the ones that offer resort-style and concierge service amenities to primary residents who want large residences on a large footprint. When looking at high-performing condos think of condos such as Continuum, Park Grove, and Four Seasons Surf Club. The projects cannot be replicated due to their high level of services and amenities, large footprint, and unique location. These condos are highly appreciated due to these factors, making them desirable for both investors and end users. If you look at Six at Fisher Island, this condo ticks all the right boxes. Additionally, this is the last condo to be built on the island for a long time and offers the most amenities of all buildings on the island.

The Features that make Six on Fisher Island stand out:

• It is a low-density project
• It sits on a large lot
• It offers a wide range of ultra-customized services and amenities* (Both the condo as well as the island)
• It Offers large floor plans targeting end-users with a large footprint.
• Views are unobstructed and cannot be obstructed in the future
• Geographically, Six at Fisher Island is irreplaceable given its unique location.

*Amenities include lap pools, resort pools, restaurants (indoor and outdoor), a morning breakfast bar, private dining options, two guest suites, and a 55,000-square-foot amenity space. This unique lifestyle stands out even among the other properties on the island. While Luna and Sol are successful and superb, they feature one pool for two buildings, whereas this condo offers two pools, exemplifying an abundance of amenities. 

The Floor Plans at Six Fisher Island

The Residences at Six Fisher Island offer 6 different floor plans and several additional custom units. All units however are large, ranging from 3,800 to just over 5,000 SF, and when combined with adjacent units, can reach sizes near 8,000 SF or 10,000 SF for penthouses. Prices start at $3,800 per SFt for the middle units. All units are designed for primary residences and offer ultra-luxury amenities. They essentially provide a city home catered to the ultra-rich, as Miami attracts more and more ultra-wealthy residents. For 70-80% of buyers, these units serve as second homes.

In Miami, Southeast corners are typically the most desired and offer the brightest and lightest units due to their positioning toward the sun. At Fisher Island, this type of unit is represented by the 01 line. This 01-line is nearly sold out, with only a few units remaining for this reason. The 06 line also consists of corner residences with wraparound terraces. These 5,000-square-foot units are priced at around $20 million and offer superior night views of both the water and the downtown skyline. All condos come with 15-foot-deep terraces.

If you do not want a super large unit and are fine with something just below 4,000 Sf you might consider the 02 line. This is a bright unit with amazing views.

The Prices

The price levels at Six Fisher Island are one of the highest in the Miami new construction market competing with top projects such as Rivage, Shore Club, and Perigon. Prices start around $3,800 per SF for the center units and corner units start around $4,000 per SF.

Conclusions

If you seek ultimate privacy in Miami’s most exclusive neighborhood or if you are yearning for a luxurious resort-style lifestyle set in a tranquil country club atmosphere, Six is the ideal choice for you. With all the conveniences at your fingertips, you can indulge in tennis, golf, swimming, breakfast or lunch, and even private conference calls without ever leaving the island. This is the epitome of resort living, rivaling the finest resorts worldwide. This condo has all the features to become one of Miami’s best-performing condos.
