The Super Bowl was a wonderful showcase for South Florida and brought out the celebs, of course, but also a number of folks looking at the hottest Miami Beach waterfront and luxury real estate.

In a bit of “melting pot” evening a few days before the big game, Linda Schechter and Bragi Sigurdsson entertained overseas clients who were particularly interested in the latest oceanfront condos to hit the market. Our group, representing the U.S., Germany, Iceland, Jamaica and France, attended the Wyclef Jean concert at the Eden Roc. Jean, who has been an advocate for his native Haiti since the devastating earthquake, gave a phenomenal performance at one of the hottest parties of Super Bowl Week.

It’s very clear to us that Miami Beach continues to have tremendous star power as more and more A-list actors, musicians and celebrities visit our community and quickly find that waterfront luxury is a style that fits them well.

During the height of the winter social season, special events and receptions for real estate brokers and buyers take place at a number of spectacular luxury waterfront condominiums and homes on South Beach. One of the must-attend events this January was our own reception that took place on Wednesday, Jan. 20, in the exquisite penthouse 2 of the new W South Beach resort. Many of our closest friends, clients and fellow real estate professionals attended the reception, which featured bountiful and delightful sushi from a well known local eatery as well as delectable desserts from Miami Beach’s Tasti Café, which is owned by our very own Linda Schechter.

Inviting clients as well as other brokers to such events s is considered a no-no in real estate circles, but not for us. We maintain longstanding relationships with our clients, who have come to rely on our insider’s perspective on the market for the most highly prized luxury waterfront condominiums and estates in Miami Beach and throughout Miami-Dade.

One such residence that is among the very finest oceanfront South Beach condominiums that we have ever seen is the W Penthouse, which we are currently listing on behalf of one of our clients for $8 million. This award-winning fully furnished 3-bedroom/3.5-bathroom penthouse includes a private rooftop pool and expansive terrace featuring breathtaking ocean views. Details and photos of the residence along with other luxury Miami Beach and South Beach waterfront estates and condominiums are available at http://www.ssluxuryre.com/listings.asp.

Below are several photos from the event, and we encourage those who would like to see this or other spectacular new oceanfront condominiums that are currently available to contact us at (305) 673-4393.
