Portofino Tower

When you tell people you live at Portofino Tower, they’ll likely know which luxury high rise you’re talking about. “Built in 1997, it remains at the peak of aesthetically pleasing design,” says Miami Beach Realtor Josh Stein. Its terra cotta colored walls rising 44 stories are complemented by blue glass leading into each residence. The result is an impressive effect when viewed from street level or the comfort of your own spacious balcony.

These units on Pointe Drive in South Beach range from one to five bedrooms and a spacious 1,000 square feet to a massive 5,600 square feet. All are outfitted with frosted glass cabinetry in the kitchens, complemented by white surfaces and stainless steel appliances. There is a separate breakfast area for a quiet morning. In the bathrooms, oversized jacuzzi tubs await. Generous closet space completes the bedrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unfettered view of the city and sea below.

All residents will have use of the heated swimming pool overlooking Government Cut. There is a sauna, a steamroom, a fitness center, a spa, and tennis courts. You’ll have an individual entry foyer for your unit as well as individual storage spaces.
