Miami Beach, FL - Zilbert International Realty, a Miami-based luxury real estate brokerage company, announced today that it has closed on the sale of a $5.5M apartment at Miami Beach's Apogee Condo. Unit 501 is a 4 bedroom, 4154 sf apartment on Apogee's lowest floor, and at a selling price of $1324/sf represents one of the highest prices ever paid for a low floor unit. Despite its 5th floor location, Unit 501 is one of Apogee's most sought-after floorplans, with dramatic views of Miami Beach and Fisher Island. Apogee is a 67-unit ultra-luxury condo tower, considered to be one of Miami Beach's most-luxurious residences.
The sale of Unit 501 was managed by Zilbert's Bill Hernandez and Bryan Sereny, who market themselves as the "Bill and Bryan Team". Bill and Bryan are one of Zilbert's top producers, and have been affiliated with Zilbert since 2006. The duo are focused on condos like Apogee and other five-star towers, and have sold multiple units in many of the greatest condos in the Miami area. Bill and Bryan maintain a team website at www.billandbryan.com, and are featured Chairman's Club members of the Zilbert sales team.
Zilbert continues to lead the market in record property sales, including a Continuum apartment, sold by Bill and Bryan for $6,575,000 in September, 2012; and Miami's most-expensive condo ever sold (based on price per square foot), the Penthouse A at Miami Beach's Setai Resort and Residences, sold by Zilbert's Jeffrey M Miller in December, 2011 for $21.5M. Zilbert's current luxury offerings include:
· A €21.95M French Chateau outside of Paris; plus
· Miami Beach's 100 Palm Avenue ($23.4M); plus
· 300 Rivo Alto Drive ($10.5M); and
