“Luxury Condominium’s Redefined” – Wall Street Journal!

When I started selling Condominiums 18 years ago, having white tile floor and white kitchen cabinets put you in the lead. Imagine!
Marble floors, granite counter tops and ten foot ceilings soon followed. Evolving into Sub Zero & Miele kitchen appliances with the defining element status symbols being the Miele cappuccino machine, ten foot wide terraces and back lit onyx counter tops.
But this Friday I read an article in the Wall Street Journal confirming the latest luxury, something I’ve been trying to get permits to do in my building for the last five years: terrace swimming pools!
I first saw this idea on a condo in Puerto Vallarta Mexico that a client of mine asked me to sell for him!
It was beautiful! One could walk outside of ones condo, dip into the pool, swim to the edge overlooking the Gulf Of Mexico and take in all of G-ds Wonders while sipping on a Pina Colada!
Actually, it reminded me of “The Las Brisas Hotel” in Acapulco that had the same set-up!
It’s really an easy thing to do, and shouldn’t require any special permits. It’s run on recirculating water, so plumbing isn’t necessary!
One must get an inspection done from an Engineer verifying that the terrace can support the weight, but a small two person jacuzzi shouldn’t be much of a problem.
Price: ……………………………………… Reasonable Cost.
Return on Investment: ……………… One should Easily Double ones Investment!
Enjoyment……………………………….. Priceless!
