The Beach House Preconstruction Luxury Condos offers the ocean and Richard Meier.
Meier, considered one of the world's top architects, is touted in the ad's large -- and only -- headline as the condominium's designer.
Developers nationwide are seeking out ''name'' architects as a selling point for their condominium projects, particularly in saturated markets such as South Florida where developers are looking for ways to set their projects apart.
In Fort Lauderdale, Michael Graves is working on the design of the Trump International Hotel and Tower. Meier is designing the nearly all-glass Beach House in Surfside. In Miami Beach, the New Urbanist duo of Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk were among a group of prominent architects called in to design Aqua.
This attention to design comes at an important time: An increasingly crowded America needs striking architecture to offset the density of new developments.
Many buyers like the idea of having such ''art'' as part of their new address.
''The design is so good it makes a better investment -- it stands out from the others,'' declares New York-based Jeff Kahn, who bought a unit at the Graves-designed Trump International Hotel in Fort Lauderdale that hasn't even broken ground yet.
Still, real estate analyst Michael Y. Cannon of Integra Realty Resources-South Florida cautions that ''name'' buildings don't automatically return a higher investment.
''Real estate is different than art,'' he says. ''Good design is very important but I question -- and you can quote me on this -- is the design functional once it's built?''
Meier's stylish glassy Perry Street Condominium Towers in New York, helped start the 'name' condo trend.
Internationally known architects are well-regarded for good reason, he says. They know how to produce a stylish -- and livable -- building.

Meier, winner of architecture's highest award, the Pritzker Prize, is now working on another New York condo project near the Perry towers and was brought in to design the Beach House at 9449 Collins Ave. in Surfside.
''I'm happy to lead the way both in New York and Miami and do good, quality work,'' said Meier.
He has designed such high-profile projects as The Getty Center in Los Angeles, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Museum for Applied Art in Frankfurt, Germany, the Canal+ Television Headquarters in Paris and the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art.
In the early 1980s, South Florida was the birthplace of cutting-edge condo design with the then-fledgling Arquitectonica designing what has become a landmark, Brickell's Atlantis -- the one with the hole, red spiral staircase and tall palm.
Today, the firm has global work, from Singapore to Hong Kong to Spain. Several of the firm's projects are in South Florida, including the modernist 67-story Marquis in downtown Miami, which will also have a hole in its center.
''Architecture defines so much how we live -- we set standards of a quality of life,'' said Bernardo Fort-Brescia, one of Arquitectonica's architect-founders. ''It has a huge role in defining the future, in defining how society improves.''
Prices will range from $1 Million to over $8 Million

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS BEFORE YOU BUY CONDOS
Chapter 718 Florida Statute establishes procedures for creating, selling and operating condominiums. The law requires that the developer give a disclosure statement to the buyer stating that the buyer may cancel the contract within 15 calendar days of signing the contract (not Reservation) or of receipt by the buyer of the condominium documents, whichever is later. A purchaser of an existing (resale) condominium unit has the right to cancel the contract within 3 business days after the date of the execution of the contract and receipt by the buyer of the condo documents.
