SUNNY ISLES BEACH, BY: J. MILTON & ASSOCIATES
J. Milton & Associates has left a lasting footprint in Sunny Isles Beach, with soaring landmarks that can be seen from miles away and across the waters. Sayan, the smallest of these, but among the most significant in transforming the city, perpetuates the legacy of this esteemed developer.
What was once a sleepy, seaside town, is now a flourishing, upscale resort and residential community, which sits at the edge of the gleaming, Atlantic Ocean; Sayan is one of its centerpieces.
A unique and exotic, boutique condominium, Sayan flaunts an all-encompassing theme and design, inspired by the South Seas. It is reminiscent of an ancient age, yet the comfort and convenience are pure, Twenty-First Century- it embraces technology at its most advanced, and luxury in its purest form.
The majestic, thirty-story tower, distinguished by a tree of life mural on its façade, is a collaboration between the world-class Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership and the internationally-recognized Howard Design Group. Together, they have created invigorating spaces that are engaging, comfortable and indulgent. Tranquil interiors that utilize natural, earthy materials, exotic hardwoods, bubbling fountains and other water elements, lend to a soothing, relaxing environment. One of the most outstanding features of the lobby is a four-story high, cascading waterfall, emitting rhythmic, water sounds.
With just ninety residences, only ten of which are still available for sale, Sayan promises its residents an unparalleled and exclusive lifestyle. Every residence offers amazing vistas of either the Atlantic or the Intracoastal or both. Sayan also features a see-through, North to South design, over-sized terraces and floor-to-ceiling, sliding-glass doors. And with no more than two residences per floor, with custom- designed elevators affording separate access, homeowners enjoy the ultimate in privacy and intimacy. The portfolio of lavish amenities includes an oceanfront swimming pool and a world-class, Asian-inspired spa and health club, complete with relaxation centers and meditation gardens. Finally, a full-time concierge presides over the many services and conveniences available to Sayan’s residents.
Of the homes still in inventory, two are lower penthouses and one is a fully furnished, upper penthouse. The latter is a contemporary, yet timeless, residence, perched high above the ocean, and it exudes class. Every detail of the custom home was thought out by the esteemed “Interiors by Steven G.,” for a dramatic effect with an emphasis on comfort. Within the 5,030 square feet of living space, there are five bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms and a host of high-end finishes. The spectacular 1,107 square feet of terrace space wraps 180 degrees, to offer unparalleled views of the North, East South and West. Top-name appliances include Kohler, Philippe Starck, Miele and SubZero, while custom accents like twin, hand-carved Buddhas and hand-cut, glazed mosaics add a sense of the exotic to the space. Other highlights include original antiques throughout, a waterfall, infinity tub in the master bath, and an over-sized, custom headboard and media wall in the master suite. The upper penthouse is priced at $5.5 million.
Pricing for the other nine residences ranges from $525,000 to $1.265 million. All dwellings are available for immediate occupancy. For more information, call Yosi Gil, of J. Milton & Associates, at 305.692.8500, or visit: www.sayancondominiums.com.
