Industry Lofts

Here at Industry Lofts on Lenox Avenue in Miami Beach, the slick look of the building's curved facade is only rivaled by the cool design inside each unit. You'll know what we mean if you're one of the lucky ones who claims one of 17 units across three stories in this renovated telephone company office. Each residential unit now spans between about 850- to 1,100-square feet.Built in 2006, these lofts aim for modern chic. Exposed air conditioning units run across vaulted 11- or 12-foot ceilings for an industrial feel. It's a style that's complemented by stainless steel appliances and Driade cabinets in each Italian kitchen, the massive windows offering spectacular views of the city and columns original to the building. Unlike most lofts straining to use every square inch effectively, these also offer a washer and dryer in each unit but not at the expense of the layout.At the top of the building, you'll get a nice view of the action along Lincoln Road from the rooftop sundeck and hot tub. Scope out a place to eat or shop before you walk over. This building's first floor is set aside for retail space, including a high-end furniture store.
