3 Island Ave

A mid-century, 15-story cooperative on Miami Beach’s Belle Isle and Venetian Causeway corridor, originally completed in 1962 and attributed to noted architect Morris Lapidus. The property predominantly offers studios and one-bedroom layouts, many of which have been renovated to include modern kitchens, updated baths, walk-in closets and enclosed balconies that maximize bay and park views. Interior character mixes original concrete construction and high ceilings with contemporary finishes such as limestone or ceramic floors, built-in cabinetry, kitchen islands and dual-sink or soaking-tub options where units have been reworked. Common areas emphasize waterfront leisure and light-filled social spaces: a recently refreshed infinity pool with sun deck and pool furniture, renovated hallways and elevators, an on-site lobby/bar area, and landscaped outdoor patios and courtyards. Building services commonly reported include covered assigned parking, doorman/concierge presence and full-service elements typical of the property’s upscale cooperative management. Exterior features respond to the subtropical setting with balconies, awnings, security shutters and outdoor barbecue and seating areas. The location places residents steps from Lincoln Road and South Beach amenities, within walking or biking distance to shops, restaurants and cultural venues, while offering direct bay vistas and sunset exposures over the water.
