A Bronze & Ivory Tower
With A Priceless View
Rising 40 stories above
azure bay waters, the sleek and stunning Carbonell makes a towering
architectural statement. Your private approach begins via scenic
Brickell Key Boulevard, passing through one of our famous compass
roundabouts and the gatehouse that signals your arrival at Carbonell,
you escape into a world of luxurious seclusion.
The building's impressive
porte cochere entrance ushers you into a double height lobby accented
with maple, marble and water. a stainless sky bridge shimmers above, a
dramatic lobby terrace overlooks the river, and Manuel Carbonell's
signature bronze sculpture presides over all.
High speed
security-controlled elevators climb the heights to residences offering
near-perfect views of the Miami River, downtown skyline and Biscayne
Bay. Public gathering spaces are appointed with style - from residents
party room with prep kitchen to full business center with conference
room.
Utilitarian needs are met
with equal attention to detail, from five levels of covered
protected-entry parking, to air conditioned storage lockers (available
for sale), to an automated high-rise recycling system. Encircling the
Carbonell tower is bronze laminated glass that meets strict county
standards for wind resistance and energy efficiency.
What a difference a
bridge makes.
In reality, the
Carbonell's exclusive tropical island is just a few hundred yards from
the fast lane of downtown Miami and the Brickell financial district, but
in human distance, it might as well be a thousand miles away. As its
visionary master plan has unfolded over time, Brickell key has become a
true self-contained urban sanctuary.
Highlights include:
The Brickell key baywalk:
meandering waterfront promenade accented by public art, native trees and
flowering shrubs with narrative markers and a jogger's mile in length.
The Brickell key marketplace: European style arcade offering indoor and
alfresco dining, hair salon, gourmet groceries, dry cleaning, banking
and fresh flowers. The five diamond mandarin oriental: unquestionably
Miami's finest hotel — featuring international-class service and
design. Award-winning chef, waterfront dining, and a world renowned spa.
The village green and children's playground: breathe in the sea breeze
and revel in these open spaces presently provided for the enjoyment of
island residents.
Our lives are spent in
the pursuit of balance, form with function, work with play, mind with
body. Symbolically, this dynamic is captured in bronze in the signature
sculpture by internationally renowned artist Manuel Carbonell that
greets you daily on the arrival plaza. Overall, the Carbonell is
conceived by developer Swire properties to provide an environment where
maintaining a healthy balance is a pleasure. Where luxury and service
share the stage with comfort and physical well-being.
