50 Biscayne Condominium

The woman at the front desk had me wait for 10 mins as she assisted a woman with information having absolutely nothing to do with the condominium itself. Five minutes in she FINALLY looked at me to acknowledge me, had me wait again to then finally let me up. Nov 5, 2015 9:56 a.m.

Elevators are so slow. it is always like there is only one working. It takes forever to get to you, already full when you get in and keeps stopping on the way down/​up. They shld invest in a system that dispatch elevators in a smarter way or dedicate them to floor ranges. Management is not the best but improved. There are many restrictions for guests especialy during long holiday weekends. Otherwise it is a great location and great place to invest in given all the projects that are in the works in the neighborhood. It is also great to be able walk anywhere from here! Pool and pooldeck are awesome! Gym is always clean! Ive been living here for 2+ years.

Nice building, nice location, looks great at the beginning, but terrible management make living here Very unpleasant. Moving in was a night mare!
Have been lived here for just 3 months, we had enough.
Can’t wait to move out. Shopping for new home now, very disappointed.
Do Not Buy unit here if you are planning to rent it out sometime because it’s just won’t be able keep long term tenants IMHO.

All about location; and 50 has it! Amenities are very nice!

First off, let me say that I’ve lived in this building for almost a year and half. It’s a beautiful building, great amenities and the staff is great (that gets 5 stars), but my rating is based on the 2 days that we actually had to deal with management — moving IN and moving OUT.
I had never lived in a condo before, and I now understand that moving into a condo like this is a complete hassle. When we were moving in, we had a bit of bad luck and our movers cancelled on us. Instead of being understanding, the person handling the elevator reservations at the time was yelling at me and telling me that «we don’t do things like that HERE» (as if I wasn’t stressed out enough). I was moving in by myself and my husband was at his first day of work (a little impossible to take the day off). I just think that they could have been a little more understanding about the situation. I believe I was treated horribly as a tenant of the building, and by the end of the day I was pretty much in tears.
I was hoping for a better experience moving out… not to be! We scheduled our elevator reservation a month in advance and paid the ridiculously high fees. We went and got our moving truck and then found out that the elevators had been double booked. They told us that we had to share the elevators with another move out, plus contractors and whoever else decided they want to use the service elevator, and yet we paid the $ 200 fee? The other issue is that the building has 2 sets of elevators that you have to use to move. You put your things in one elevator, take it down to the garage, move it all to the service elevator, go down 2 more floors and then load it into the moving truck. It’s such a pain, especially when you are trying to share the elevators with everyone and their mother… expect moving times to double, on a good day without losing too much time to everybody else on the service elevator.
My husband was treated badly whenever he got upset that the service elevator doors kept closing on him because other people were using it (and taking our furniture and boxes to other floors). Then was told he could not prop doors open and again was ‘threatened’ to be ‘shut down’ and unable to move. I’m sorry, but for the prices you pay in this building and the elevator fees, I think you should be GUARANTEED good service, ESPECIALLY if you reserve the elevator a month in advance! Oh, and keep in mind they only give you 4 hours to move… whether or not they double booked the elevators.
The double booking of the elevators really messed up the move out and also hindered our ability to move into another condo in the afternoon (at which they ALSO told us we were not scheduled to move in — review #2 coming shortly). Thankfully, they let us use some of the afternoon hours to move into that condo as that reservation was a no show :)
I really do not understand what is wrong with management in the condos here in Miami, but they need to get it together. It’s ridiculous that you have to pay fees to them and then they say you were not scheduled to move in… what? I can say this has been a learning experience, and from now on I will get EVERYTHING in writing and call them ahead of time to make sure they are all doing their jobs properly. It’s pretty sad that I would have to do that though… wish me luck!

50 Biscayne’s pool deck is super dope.
An infinity-​edge pool with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the sun. I especially liked the huge African bambaataa-​type coloured murals that stand like something out of the Lion King.
My friend needs to give me more guest passes!
