March 2001 – I started looking for a place to buy in Miami Beach. In just a few days after looking at many beautiful high rise Condos, I fell in love with the best one of all. The condo I liked was $856,000, it had glass walls and an amazing ocean view. The condo was on the 40th floor, # 4001 at the Blue Diamond building on 41st and Collins Ave. Miami Beach. The building was new, only a few people lived there.
The Blue Diamond condo I bought came without paint or floors. I hired a company and explained what I wanted. I designed everything with allot of wood, I was inspired by an apartment I rented in Varna, Bulgaria. The condo was 3 bedrooms but I took out one of the bedrooms to open up the space, and I put a bar instead. They said it would cost $97,000 and take at least 6 months. Some of the money was for the Russian mafia, to expedite the construction permits.
