Mint Condominiums

The Management in this building is rude, inconsiderate, discriminating, uneducated and if you don’t own here you do not count. Do yourself a favor and don’t ever move or rent here since they won’t even let you feel at home they are all over your business who comes in who comes out how many guests what are they doing there and threaten you with make up fees. Also they are building a new building in the green area so it’s going to block the view completely from the 3 buildings.

I live there but the internet Hotwire, is really bad and they also come with Hotwire TV and its also really bad! Thats the only thing you can get in the Condo. But it also has amazing view and all the elevators work. You get amazing sunsets from the west side of the building but you will also hear the metro rail and airplanes passing by at night and day. All the gym equipment works and so does the pool and sauna and they also have some great bistros downstairs!!!

Renters and buyers beware!!! If I could rate this building negative 5 I would!
I was a resident for 1 ½ years at the Mint building. Giving credit where credit is due, the building is beautiful and all though located on the other side of the river from Brickell, it is easily accessible from the highways and not far from the grocery stores and restaurants/​nightlife.
I should have canceled my move in, with the red flags from the paperwork alone. While moving in requires a 23 + page application and 250 $ move in fee (money order only) and at the time 100 dollar fee for an extra valet spot. (Money order only) It is now 175 dollars. Money order only. Ridiculous.
I worked at a clinic in Miami and could not be away from work to witness the move in, luckily my sister was able to help me. We reserved the service elevator from 10– 2 thinking two movers would be able to handle a two bedroom apartment in the allotted time of 4 hours.
My sister called at 11 frantic because the movers were not allow to have locked access to the service elevator. Each run up and down would take 30 – 45 minutes.
I immediately called the manager and was told with authentic Miami attitude that it was silly for me to think I could have private access to the service elevator for a move in. He then told me how wrong I was, because «how else would the „help“ get up and down from their respective penthouse apartments where they were working.» He then stated that if the movers were not done by 2 there would be an additional fee for reserving the elevator.
I know a red flag like this should have sent me running, however at that point I wasn’t willing to loose my 5400 dollar deposit. I was committed.
Well the movers did finish around 4 and I was not charged additional fees but the stress was overwhelming and the movers cost extra due to overtime.
Living there was not bad, I did love the views and my apartment was beautiful. The staff is nice for the most part; but the management, especially fabi are not even worth speaking to. If you need something figure it out yourself. The valets are great but 175 a month is highway robbery. Oh did I mention money order only and if you don’t have it in by the first of the month you don’t get a parking spot. Total pain in the ass.
The gym is small and the ellipticals and treadmills are old and broken most of the time. The pool cracked about 6 months ago and is still not refinished. The key fobs don’t work half the time and, listen to this, i was one of four in the building who’s fob does not work. So they can’t replace it because then everyone else would be affected. Oh I forgot to say that the extra key fob is 125 dollars. Money order only.
Thankfully I got to move out. (Period) I made an appointment for Memorial Day weekend three weeks in advance. I had to give them 250 $ move out fee (money order only) and 1000 for damages. The move out was as horrible as the move in.
The only good part is that I am out of that building.
If I was an investor in that building I would be pissed that my tenants were treated this way. If I owned and lived in the building I would be fighting on their board to get new management. The building is beautiful and the area was great however if I moved back to Miami I would move far from the Mint.
Totally not worth it!

I am a Mint Resident (2012 – 2013) and I am giving one star for the design of the building, and a couple of the building employees that are friendly, and attentive. My experience was less than luxurious while living at this «Luxury Condo». Definitely not worth it, save yourself headaches & frustrations.
Cons:
*Valet is always full when I invite guests over.
*Neighbors are rude and inconsiderate
*Amenities floor is only open until 11pm
*Pool area is open only until 8pm; there is no ambiance on the deck.
*Steam and sauna areas on weekends are over crowded
*Spa massage showers are always broken
*Gym is tiny, and very limited
*Service elevator has shut off times so forget about hauling trash out after 6pm
*Not all 4 elevators ever work at the same time, generally only 1 to 2max
*The Riverfront sells the idea that they have retailers moving into the retail spaces
It is a LIE, I have been here a year and the same coming soon signs are there.
*Aura bistro is the only shop in the complex, and its hit or miss — very inconsistent.
*The building gates on 3^rd st are faulty, and its a constant fight with non residents
tying to enter through there and cutting you off.
*Dry cleaners are inconsistent and mess up dry cleaning orders regularly.
*Trane AC Unit BROKE 3 SEPERATE times within 2 months of each repair
*Repairs/​Unit maintenance is handled by building contractor = Awful work
*1 of the 2 arcade games is broken.
*Water pipes exploded and shut down gym/​spa/​ad level for weeks.
*Ice cube maker always was broken
*Key fobs sometimes magically don’t work
Pros:
*The view of brickell and river (In the future will be obstructed by other buildings)
*Master bath shower
*A coed concept for «spa»
*Viking professional microwave in unit
*Secret Game room with Space invader game
The entire building is owned by Overseas investors that do not live here in the USA.
So the units are managed by property management companies that do not care about the tenants or the landlords. So tenant beware who you are leasing from at The Mint. I’ve had the worst experience ever, when I was expecting the best.

This is a beautiful building with a great location. A friend of mine lives here and I am easily convinced to stop over for a drink or to use the pool.
Pros:
* Brand new 52 story building with a chill lobby
* Pool area overlooks the Brickell area
* Lots of areas outside to lounge
* Luxurious steam and sauna areas
* Fully equipped modern gym
* Fantastic ocean views from rooms and balconies
* Located right on the Miami river
* Great art deco architecture
Cons:
* The pool area only gets sun in the AM most of the year
* Guests must valet park to visit
* Pricey for the square footage
* Some rooms are small in size
* Immediate surrounding area is under development and consists of empty lots
Overall a great place to rent or buy; local area has a lot of potential
