The Blue of Coral Way - Coral Gables / Miami's new, affordable luxury Condominiums:  The Blue of Coral Way

This mixed-use project is situated on a two-thirds acre site in Miami, less than half a mile east of the Coral Gables downtown district.

The Blue of Coral Way sits along the Coral Way corridor, which is lined with its mature sea grape trees with their majestic canopies outstretched from the center medium to the sidewalks.

The complex consists of ground floor retail, a series of townhouses, Loft apartment units, ample parking and a apartment Tower.

The ground floor retail base reinforces the existing urban fabric a covered arcade and storefronts stretching along the city sidewalk edge. This arcade provides shelter and comfort to pedestrians as well as general access to the complex, as it also servers as the buildings main entrance.

To the west of the retail are access roads serving as the vehicular entrance/ exit to the complex. These roads provide access to the main drop-off area, and the secure Parking Garage.

The Parking Garage has both public and private zones catering to the need of the occupants and visitor. Immediately above the retail slightly recess from Coral Way sits four levels of two story loft style apartments, these units create a visual barrier for the parking garage located directly behind the units.

The top roof of the retail along the edge of Coral Way is transformed into a landscaped roof level garden creating a green zone between the units and the street below.

THE BLUE OF CORAL WAY TOWN HOMES

Residential scale Town homes are located along the less dense residential street to the south. The six town homes consist of two stories each with a roof garden above and parking access to the garage located to the north.

Each of the homes have their individual entrance gardens and front door, but share the same amenities with the adjoining complex. The Town homes are meant to create a transition space between the dense urban scale of Coral Way and the residential scale of 22 terrace, by having the homes backing into the six floors of parking structure, shielding the garage from the residential street and its neighbors.

THE BLUE OF CORAL WAY LOFTS AND CONDOMINIUMS

The Apartment Tower rises above the parking garage/ loft units with 168 units distributed on 13 floors. The apartments are oriented with views towards the north and the south, along a central double loaded corridor. The design of the residential units provide for generous continuous balcony space along the outside face of every unit, creating a light "secondary skin" on the building generating a strong modern façade with is horizontal lines and railings.

THE BLUE OF CORAL WAY BUILDING FEATURES

The north front face of the tower along Coral Way curves out subtly, thus softening its façade upon the city's urban fabric rising a total of 20 stories. The pool level occurs on the 7th floor where various additional amenities can be found. The pool plaza provides an expansive outdoor recreation area with generous covered areas, a circular wading pool as well as a full size swimming pool and trellised covered BBQ area as well.

The Plaza is also generously landscaped with planting of various scale to soften the edges and enhancing the outdoor experience. The top floor contains the building's mechanical system which is enclosed with decorative architectural treatment of metal louvers, aluminum panels and exposed masonry in its conclusion.
