Unsafe Conditions Ignored for Months -- A Cautionary Tale for Future Tenants…read more We moved into Metro Edgewater in July 2024, drawn in by the views, amenities, and especially the large, open-air balcony -- a major factor in choosing our unit. At the time, the building wasn't fully occupied, and several upper-floor units above us were still vacant. We also took our time furnishing the space, and by early 2025, we were finally ready to enjoy the outdoor area we had waited so long to use. More upper units had become occupied at this point -- and that's when the problems began. In February 2025, we started noticing disturbing debris falling onto our balcony -- lit cigarette butts, weed joints, and trash from above. What seemed like an isolated nuisance quickly became a pattern. We formally notified management in early March, requesting immediate action, including notices to residents and a physical covering to protect our space. In April, the situation escalated. We discovered burn marks on our brand-new patio furniture, likely from a lit cigarette. We raised the alarm again, citing not just inconvenience but increasing property damage and fire risk. Management responded on April 23rd, stating a resident had been identified and issued a legal notice. But the behavior continued -- and worsened. Our balcony -- and those of our neighbors, who share the building's largest and most exposed outdoor spaces -- became the target of everything from dirty bleach water and chicken bones to a ziplock bag containing white powder, and most disturbingly, defecated feces thrown directly onto our outdoor daybed. We have children who visit and play on the balcony, so this is not only a matter of adult discomfort -- it is a serious safety concern, especially for children exposed to such hazardous and unsanitary conditions. In response, we began co-signing emails with our neighbors, urging management to install a canopy or some form of protective shield. In early May, we were told a canopy solution was being explored. But by May 28, management informed us via email that "installation is not feasible at this time, as it would require extensive modifications to the building and surrounding area." No alternatives were proposed. No protective measures were installed. And this isn't just affecting people -- it's harming pets too. Our next-door neighbor shared that their cat became seriously ill after ingesting a cigarette butt that had landed on their balcony. When they raised the issue in person with management, they were told to "claim it with their insurance." No follow-up. No solution. Just indifference. That neighbor no longer feels safe letting their pet outdoors at all. We've continued to follow up with management -- including sending detailed photo evidence -- but as of June 1st, 2025, our emails have been completely ignored. Due to the ongoing inaction and lack of response, we were left with no choice but to contact the police and file an official report, documenting the hazardous conditions and the building's failure to act. It should never have come to this. This is not a minor inconvenience. This is a matter of health, fire safety, and basic tenant rights. We've had bleach water splash onto our food, lit cigarettes damage our furniture, and hazardous debris fall dangerously close to young children -- all while being told to simply "report future incidents." Management has chosen to "monitor and investigate" rather than take meaningful, preventive action. Meanwhile, the problem persists -- and residents, both human and animal, remain exposed. Today June 14th, 2025, yet another dangerous incident occurred. Someone from one of the upper floors -- likely around the 20th or 21st floor -- threw a chunk of ice down, which landed violently on our daybed with a loud, startling crash that we heard from the living room. Had I, my wife, or a young child been lying on that daybed at the time, the impact from that height could have caused serious injury. We called the police again, and were issued a second official incident report. If you're considering moving here -- especially to a unit with outdoor space -- please take this review seriously. The views may be beautiful, but no view is worth compromising your safety, your health, or your peace of mind. Photos attached for reference. DU

As both a resident and a real estate professional, I've experienced firsthand how well this community is run. The management team is exceptional--always attentive, professional, and proactive in keeping everything running smoothly. General Manager Donald Campbell does a fantastic job running everything smoothly, and George is always so helpful. The front desk staff and every member of the building's team are welcoming, reliable, and genuinely care about the residents. Their helpfulness makes daily life here so much easier and more enjoyable. Beyond the outstanding staff, Marina Blue offers incredible views, a prime location, and amenities that truly enhance the lifestyle. After so many years, I can confidently say this building continues to exceed expectations and is a place I'm proud to call home. Whether you're looking for your next home or an investment in Miami, Marina Blue is a building I recommend wholeheartedly.

From the management, valet, security, front desk to even the guys who work in the receiving area- I've never met a group of more welcoming staff in any other building.

Their security is top notch. You need to have fingerprints taken to access your specific floor as well as the Gym and pool. Which can sometimes not work as well as it should.

I do however love the place, we sold it at a gain and I would certainly look for a similar building if I had any intention to buy in miami again.

Great location in a quiet area of Brickell--for now--and great amenities but buyer beware…read more(especially for recent transplants falling for hype who might be panic buyers). The north side (01 and 02 units) currently is adjacent to a parking lot. Are you familiar with The Panorama building on Brickell Avenue?...imagine a twin tower Panorama in the parking lot right next to you, since Tibor Hollo (developer of Panorama) has plans to build a "twin tower" on that parking lot. Will definitely cut down on 02 views. Plans call for a "slim and shorter, 14-15 story" project on the opposite side of the building facing SE 14th Street. Next, the original developer spent the most money on the kitchens--but keep in mind the building is now 17 years old which means those expensive Wolf Subzero refrigerators and Miele appliances will need to be replaced soon. Some units have already done so (some with less expensive brands, others needing to use filler since dimensions of the original brand replacement appliances have changed). Don't get me wrong...this is a great building but one needs to use common sense and do their homework...units that sold for $680 and $575 just 3-4 months ago are asking a ridiculous $1.020M and $890 today....units have had a history of doubling within a short period in this building only to come down crashing a year or two later (and we know interest rates will be rising in the next year or two). Caveat emptor.

FORMA put all it's money and effort into an slick leasing presentation only to overpromise /…read moreunderdeliver on the actual units, and is far from the luxury community it claims to be. I moved in on January 6, 2025 and very quickly moved out by February 25th 2025 into a superior neighboring property with 1.5X more space for the same price, a true luxury unit with finishes to match, an extra bedroom plus superior amenities and technology. Here is short list of all the issues that made me move out: UNIT SIZE - The units at Forma are tiny and overpriced. When the building was first leasing during construction they used floor plans with deceptively small furniture, no room dimensions and exaggerated square footage. After seeing the units, I was shocked at how small they were. The living rooms are less than 11 feet wide which makes it impossible to set up furniture and the bedrooms are less than 9.5 feet making it impossible to fit anything but a bed. SUBSTANDARD CLOSETS - The building cheaped out on closets and expects you to build out your own using Elfa from the Container Store. Expect to spend another $800 per closet just to make it usable. LOW END FINISHES - The vinyl flooring, the plastic backsplash they claimed was marble, the low end no name appliances that break repeatedly, the hollow core doors are just a sample of the low end finishes they claim to be luxury. NO COMMON AREA CLEANING - The common areas are dirty and are not cleaned regularly. I stared at the same piece of trash in the hallway for 2 weeks before I picked it up myself. DRAIN FLY, SILVERFISH AND MOUSE INFESTATION - Moths come out of the drains continuously, I was worries they would start eating my clothes so I moved out ASAP. There are mouse traps in the halls and you can see dead mice in the garage that were run over. Silverfish also started making an appearance. SEWER SMELLS - I don't know what's going on but some floors in the building smell like raw sewage. Instead of acknowledging the issue, management gaslights residents saying that there is no issue. LACK OF SECURITY - There was a fatal stabbing in front of the building and management didn't even send out an email to acknowledge the issue or say what they were doing to keep residents safe. Even now anybody can enter the building through the garage as there is no gate or security present. ANYONE CAN ENTER YOUR UNIT - The building uses a key card system like a hotel so any of the staff can enter your unit at any time. I had 2 such instances where a strange person used their key card to enter my unit without permission or a work order and they ran away as soon as they realized I was home. When I wrote to management, they per usual didn't respond. POOL DOESN'T GET SUN - This is quite possibly the most absurd thing but since the pool is in the north and the building in the south, it blocks the sun all day so all you get is early morning sun and it's over by 11:30am and you have shade for the rest of the day. Hopefully this gets better in the summer. AMENITIES ARE NOT THE BEST IN MIAMI AS THEY CLAIM - The amenities use nice finishes but most of them just resemble one large airport lounge so not really the most functional. Think about if hanging out in an airport lounge all day because you hate your cramped apartment is the lifestyle you want to pay top dollar for. Overall Forma is a poorly managed mid grade property with micro units that are renting at a 30-40% premium to that of full sized units. The property is filled with disappointed residents who were bait and switched and want to leave but either don't have the funds or mental energy to deal with another move. There are obviously better deals elsewhere in Midtown, Wynwood or Edgewater so skip this property. And on a final note, any positive reviews that you see on here or on Google are either from the staff who posted before the building was even built or for some random maintenance guy that mounted a TV. It's very telling of the character / credibility of management to resort to creating fake reviews. They even offered to waive any penalties for breaking my lease if I would take down my negative Google review and I said no thanks and decided to post this one.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with the front desk staff at Solitair Brickell…read morehas been too disappointing to ignore. The receptionist, Lizianne, has consistently displayed some of the rudest and most dismissive customer service I have ever witnessed. On multiple occasions, I have seen her speak disrespectfully to residents and guests in the lobby. Rather than being welcoming or helpful, she often appears inconvenienced by even the simplest requests and avoids assisting people whenever possible. The front desk is the face of any apartment community. It should be staffed by someone who is courteous, professional, and genuinely interested in helping residents and visitors. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience here. Her attitude creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and leaves a terrible first impression of what is otherwise a beautiful property. Management should take these concerns seriously. One employee's repeated lack of professionalism can negatively impact the reputation of the entire community. Residents deserve to be treated with respect, and guests should feel welcomed--not dismissed or spoken to rudely. I sincerely hope management addresses this issue, because the quality of customer service at the front desk should reflect the standard of the property itself.

There was also a point where the hot water was down for like 2+ months. Luckily I was away for most of that time otherwise I would be more upset. Getting an answer from management over email is generally pretty difficult as I imagine people are constantly writing to them. Parking is actually pretty easy despite not having assigned spots. Unfortunately there aren't many rental options in Brickell unless you want to rent from an owner which is why I ended up here. I loved my unit itself but wish they would have sorted some of the issues more quickly.
