Tour The Palm Island Contemporary Which is The First To Close on Palm Island in 2017

"This sale marks the first home sale on Palm Island in 2017, not including the recent sale of a vacant lot. Activity on the Island has been very slow with the ongoing construction of the roads, but once completed, Palm Island will be absolutely incredible and the construction / roadwork will move to other neighborhoods of Miami Beach. 201 Palm was a very unique property because not only was it situated on a very desirable corner lot, but with the new building codes in Miami Beach, you can no longer build a house of this size on a lot like this, and you also can no longer replicate the private rooftop, which offers 360 degree views of the Bay, skyline and sunsets," said Devin Kay.
