WCI sells Regent Hotel in Bal Harbour, Florida




It has definitely been an interesting week so far in Southeast Florida Real Estate. Top news of the week is the selling of its shares in the Regent Bal Harbour by WCI Communities only to have the Regent Hotel Chain pull out of the property the next day. The Regent Bal Harbour or I should say the Bal Harbour Hotel which I believe will be the new name) is located on one of the prestigious oceanfront lots in all of South Florida.

Right on the Haulover Inlet the views are absolutely spectacular. It is a condo hotel project which like most Real Estate in South East Florida has seen a drop in value. It shares the same address as One Bal Harbour – one of the most luxurious condo buildings on the Beach.

Currently there are 18 listing for sale ranging from studios to 1 bedroom suites. Prices range from $369,000 (an unbelievable short sale opportunity) to $1,150,000. Owners can use the units as well as put them into the hotel program to earn income while they are vacant. Maintenances fees run between $3000-$3500 depending on the size of the unit. However this maintenance fee can be recouped depending on owners entering their units into the hotel pools and the revenue this generates.

Earlier I mentioned that the hotel shares some amenities (like a gorgeous pool deck and 24 hour valet, housekeeping and full concierge ) with the condo One Bal Harbour. This luxurious building currently has 33 properties for sale ranging from 1972 sf (2 bed 2.5 bath) to 5200+ sf (4 bed 4.5 bath) and are priced between $1,295,000 and $6,299,000. Many of these units have been reduced in price. To see pictures click One Bal Harbour Properties.
