  What ever you do do not buy a condo at Marina Blue. The management of the building treats the residents like if they were criminals. We purchased a one bedroom apartment about two weeks ago, and today 6/20/08 my wife and two kids were going around taking pictures. My son entered the gym and all the sudden a staff member came up to him and started to kick him out. They called security and wanted to escort my wife out of the building. This building is not child friendly. Please be aware of this situation. They might tell at the time of purchase that kids are not allowed in the gym with out no supervision, but that is not the case. Instead they prefer that you have no kids whatsoever. Well I warn anybody that is purchsaing or looking to purchase at “MARINA BLUE” that if you have kids they are going to make your life a living hell.

  PS
  anybody wants to buy a condo oh yeah no kids are permitted in the building. maybe if they are visiting.

  Hi Lazaro Alonso,
  This is also for those who are petrified of their building management and staff,

  Can you guys be a little more stand up for your rights please? If this happened to me, I would not sleep until that offending staff member is kicked out of the building or the management is taken to task. Is this turning out to be a nation of ninnies or what? You are paying for the salaries of these people. They are your servants, not your masters. Yes rules have to be followed. I fully agree with that. That does not mean the staff run rough shod over the home owners. After all rules are made by the home owners (at least when the HOA forms).

  In the 1800 club , we all do enjoy a midnight dip in the pool. My friends at Quantum always complain how they get thrown out of the pool after sundown. It is what you make out it. I tell people in the 18, “If you respectfully and quitely swim at night, it should never be a problem for anyone”.
  I never understand this pool timings of Sunrise to Sunset in most buildings. What the hell does it have to do with anything? Insurance? Liability? They are not paying for a lifegaurd to stay overtime or anything like that. In any case 90% of the people get home only by sunset after they finish their work.

  My point is, if it is a good and reasonable rule, fine, but if it is an arbitrary unjustified rule, stand up to it, canvass against it and change it.

  And so if Lazaro is showing his kids the gym at Marina Blue under his supervision and taking pictures, no jerk in the staff should ask the kids to leave. They or the management should be able to ill treat the home owners only at the expense of their jobs. How dare they!

  Hi Lazaro,
  Please make a formal complaint about that staff member with the management. If the building manager gives you an attitude, do not be afraid to tell him that when the HOA forms, You will actively work towards firing that management company and getting another firm. Most likely the situation might not come to such a pass as the managers are usually very diplomatic. If necessary talk to the management company directly, with the building managers supervisor. Also talk to the developer and give him hell for hiring a rude management company for starts.

  Do not have to get desperate and tell people not to buy into a building. Change it for good.

  And by the way, what is the name of the mangement company at Marina Blue ?

• 11 Lazaro Alonso // Jun 20, 2008 at 8:09 pm

  AJ thank you for your advice. I will take all your points into consideration. Also I will find out the name of the management company for you.

  I agree with AJ, stand your ground, file a complaint ect. But at the same time it has really put me off from buying from them now.

  I’ve been reading this blog for a while and now.My lease at the Beach club hallandale is up and I do not want to stay in this building for a another day .From the screaming pipes to broken elevators .I moved into this building when it opened and it’s decline has surprised me.

  I am not familiar with Biscayne but I have narrowed my search down to 900 Biscayne and Marina Blue . I found my last apartment on the craigslist .However this time around the real estate agents are different and very dishonest they post one thing and then say another .How do I find a valid agent .Can anyone help me .

  I also would like to know if any of these two have a lease to own option .

  I am hoping to move by 09/12/2008
