Aventura, FL —Martin Z. Margulies, one of South Florida’s most respected developers, has announced that Bellini Williams Island, an ultra luxury condominium on Williams Island’s last remaining residential site, has officially broken ground. Completion is expected in 2010. 

As site activity continues, the sales center remains open adjacent to the site at 4100 Williams Island Blvd., with operating hours: Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Saturday & Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 305-466-6808.

The boutique-style condominium will soar 24 stories, home to just 70 three-bedroom corner units with 2,235 to 2,608 square feet of living space and four spectacular penthouses offering 4,636 square feet. All units flaunt water views in all directions. Pre-construction prices range from $1.3 million to $3.2 million.

“Bellini Williams Island is for those seeking the most prestigious address in the most prestigious community in South Florida,” said Shannon Selby, chief operating officer.

Said Margulies, “Williams Island is a world-class community of elegance and good taste therefore it represents the perfect location for a residential tower of this caliber. This is the last piece of residential property on Williams Island, so there’s a tremendous demand here for a contemporary lifestyle residence as luxurious as the environment which already exists.”

Margulies’ previous successes as a developer include the renowned Grove Isle in Coconut Grove, the magnificent Grand Bay Towers on Key Biscayne and most recently Bellini on the Ocean in Bal Harbour. His success is attributed to the uncommon principle of building one development at a time, with enormous attention to detail and investment. And with each of his achievements, Margulies accomplished perhaps the most difficult feat of all – he consistently finished ahead of schedule.

For the ultimate in privacy and security, each Bellini home will be accessed directly via private high-speed elevators. Formal foyers, water-view panoramas from wraparound glass balconies, top-of-the-line gourmet kitchens and 10-foot ceilings are among the interior features. Finishes are extraordinary, embodying a lifestyle of the ultimate in luxury.

The building features ‘round the clock valet and concierge, its own fitness center; media room, game room and lounge; and resort-style pool. Amenities at Bellini complement the existing offerings on Williams Island, which include the formal Island Club restaurant; free shuttle service; a community pool and Island café; tennis courts and pro shop; and the Williams Island Spa, a world-class gym and full-service spa.  

Right outside the island are Fresh Market, Starbucks and the convenience of Walgreen’s. Within five minutes of Bellini is the well-known Aventura Mall with Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and other high-end shops and restaurants. The legendary Bal Harbour Shops is just 10 minutes south.
