The ICON South Beach is a unique two-tiered residential tower situated on Biscayne Bay. Rising 35 and 40 floors, offering 289 residences. The grand lobby is designed by world-renowned designer, Philippe Starck and the grounds offer a lush seven-acre site. The ICON South Beach is scheduled for completion in the Spring of 2005. From the $600's to over $8 Million.

What designer Phillippe Starck and developer Jorge Perez have planned for a plot of land located just South of Fifth Street is something so grand it deserves the name Icon. The building's motto, "Where you live is who you are" proves these two pioneers take their work to the most extreme levels of luxury. Starck's first residential condo project in the U.S., Icon is planned to be a condominium composed of two tiers, each reaching 35 and 40 floors. Located on the bay, Icon promises exquisite views through its wrap-around glass windows. Residents can choose from nine floor plans for one, two or three bedroom spaces, each condo to be decorated to the buyers' own design. For those interested, Starck offers his own interior design in four options: nature, culture, classic or minimal. Amenities will include around-the-clock security, valet, and concierge. As well, a coffee and tea bar, set inside of a 27-foot high urn in Icon's lobby, is also in the works. Raising the bar on luxury living, Icon plans for an elevated infinity-edged pool set amidst the backdrop of the Miami Beach Marina and Biscayne Bay. A health and fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment is also planned.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are buying their first marital home together, in South Beach, reports IMDB.com. The New York natives, who wed in June after a whirlwind four-month courtship, own a variety of houses in California, New York and Florida between them, but have yet to buy a residence together. Now, Lopez is finalizing their purchase of a $9.9 million penthouse apartment in the fashionable new Icon Building at 450 Alton Rd., featuring interiors by French designer Philippe Starck.
