Icon Brickell Pool: A Tale of Slippery Slopes and Deep Pockets - From Assessments and Reassessments
Icon Brickell Pool: A Tale of Slippery Slopes and Deep Pockets ????♂️????
The Good Ol' Days: Once upon a time, the Icon Brickell pool was the talk of the town – not for its crystal-clear waters, but for its infamous slippery tiles. Residents were playing a high-stakes game of 'Who Can Dive Without Sliding?' The pool deck was so slick, you'd think they were trying to set up a new water slide attraction without telling anyone. This led to a special assessment so high, it made your property value dive faster than a resident on those tiles. [Learn about the $14.4M assessment here](https://www.therealdeal.com/miami/2016/06/08/pool-repairs-at-icon-brickell-to-cost-14-4m-with-unit-owners-footing-most-of-the-bill/) and here (https://www.miamiluxuryhomes.com/exclusive-icon-brickell-pool-closing-for-14-months-special-assessment-to-be-slapped-on-owners/)
The Great Pool Shutdown: In what can only be described as a plot twist in a condo drama series, the pool shut down for what was supposed to be a quick fix. "Just 12 months," they said, but let's be honest, in Miami time that's like saying "I'll be there in 5 minutes" when you're still looking for your keys. Two years later, the pool deck finally reopened, but not before the residents had become experts in indoor swimming (also known as showers).

The Current Splash: Fast forward to now, and the Icon Brickell pool is back with a vengeance. They've replaced the slippery tiles with something less 'Miami Vice' and more 'Miami Nice' – think less dance floor, more pool deck. But let's not get too excited; the pool lights are now on a strict curfew, going dark at 5 PM like a Cinderella story gone wrong. And remember those assessments? They're like the gift that keeps on giving – or taking, depending on how you look at it.

The Moral of the Story: If you live at Icon Brickell, keep your floaties handy – not just for swimming, but for when those assessments float back into your life. Here's to hoping the next pool update is less about repairs and more about poolside cocktails without the side of financial stress! ???????? #IconBrickell #MiamiLife #PoolProblems #CondoLife
