ICON Brickell Condo is Fannie-Mae Approved! At least tower one is according to the new list published by Fannie-Mae on their website efanniemae.com – take a look. Looks like Related Group is working over-time to get these projects approved. They recently received Fannie-Mae approval on 500 Brickell as well. This means that ICON Brickell now qualifies for conventional lending from the major lenders as long as the buyer is credit-worthy and the loan amount is within the Fannie-Mae approved loan limits. This is good news for Related and should assist them in closing many more of the units. Prices at ICON Brickell start from the mid $200,000’s for studios.

• A spectacular, two-story entrance and valet drop-off
• Two full-service bayside restaurants
• A spa and fitness center with amenities normally associated with a five-star resort spa
• Smart building technology with “i.c.o.n.” (interactive concierge on demand network) in every unit

ICON Brickell – WOW! Recently I toured ICON Brickell and I was blown away. I did have to admit I was skeptical before I took this tour. I felt that the large scale of this development (almost 1800 units) would have a major impact on the views from each unit. I had also seen some photos on other blogs and websites and the photos didn’t do this development justice. You must see this building to believe it. It is massive. Everything in this building was imagined to be larger than life.
Here are the photos of ICON Brickell:

ICON Brickell was developed by The Related Group and inspired by Philippe Starck. Among the many features of this building are a magnificent bayfront location in Brickell, restaurants at ground floor and on the pool deck, a signature viceroy hotel component, a massive 316-foot long swimming pool, magnificent spa area and services and rooftop lounge.
