Atlantis Condominium

The Atlantis Condominium is a landmark 20-story luxury condominium building in Miami, Florida. It was built between 1980 and 1982 and was designed by the architect Hervin Romney and architectural firm Arquitectonica. The building was exclusively represented and sold by Alicia Cervera of Cervera Real Estate. It is known for its glass facade and primary color scheme and the 5-story palm court which is cut out of the building. The palm court features a red spiral staircase, a hot tub, and a palm tree. The Atlantis's claim to fame was when it was featured on the opening credits of the television series "Miami Vice," and being used as an exterior filming set in two episodes. The building has 96 units and is located at 2025 Brickell Avenue. This building is an icon to the Miami skyline. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed Atlantis on its list of ''Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places''.
