Recently, I had the opportunity to tour the Axis on Brickell, another one of the new condo buildings that have opened in Downtown Miami / Brickell. The Axis on Brickell is "Conditionally" Approved by Fannie Mae meaning that Fannie will start buying loans once the developer has around 50% of the units presold. Right now, however, all transactions must be cash, as they have not reached the required amount of presales. Currently, the Axis offers an excellent developer rental program as the pace of sales in the building has been slow due to the lack of financing. Please contact us for more information on the rental program at Axis.
The Axis consists of 718 units in two 38 story towers separated by an outdoor common area with 2 pools. It sits right on the corner of Mary Brickell Village and is close to shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. In my opinion, the quality of the units in the Axis is superior to those found in buildings that have had many more sales, like 500 Brickell. The bathrooms are spacious with a walk-in shower, and the kitchens are nicely done. The high 9'2" ceilings are also a plus. However, the balconies offer little privacy as only wire mesh separates the balconies between the units.
On the corners of each tower are the 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1174 sqft "D" Units which offer amazing views. These units start at $340,000.
The Building also offers 1 bedroom, 1 bath Units starting at $220,000 for 761 sqft. I thought these were quite nice as well.
In my opinion, the best part about the common area at the Axis were the two pools. One was specifically designed as a lap pool. It's common to see people switch from pool to pool as the sun moves during the day. Besides the pools, I thought the common areas were quite lacking and didn't impress me at all. Maybe I didn't like the design or the space was too big for the furniture, it's hard to tell. See for yourself.
