Marquis and The Miami Art in Public Places Initiative
Being closely involved in education and an advocate of the arts, it often made me sad when I heard about the arts programs being eliminated from many schools. As more budgets get cut, these programs are disappearing all over. So when I heard about a new condo development in Miami pairing up with the Miami Art Museum (MAM), it got me excited. Marquis, an exclusive development in Miami operated by RockResorts, is located in the Park West District. It combines both residences and a boutique hotel into an art-themed living area. It is 67 stories tall and is the 2nd tallest building in Miami. No worries as it also has the fastest private high-speed elevators in the southeast. This building is scheduled to be complete in spring 2009.
Marquis has established partnership with the Miami Art Museum (MAM) to offer membership benefits to the residents. They felt that this would be a perfect match to foster a lifestyle that goes along with Miami’s growing art and cultural scene. The developer is also in talks with other cultural institutions to offer its residents a complete, well-rounded cultural experience. The architecture also plays up the art identity and they will feature exclusive artwork as a part of the City’s Art in Public Places Initiative. Along with the art initiative, Marquis offers many unique luxuries including an 8,000 square foot signature spa and fitness center, bars and restaurants, a sky pool deck with a sunrise lap pool and lagoon-style sunset pool.
