A crystal-ball peek into the future of Biscayne Boulevard, as provided by your friendly neighborhood developer:

Miami's grand old thoroughfare -- and the neighborhoods that surround it -- will be trendy, more cultured than what you're used to and a tad pricey.

Your new home? It might sound like a South Beach nightclub (Blue), a grungy 1990s rock band (Nirvana) or a misspelled geometry term (Kubik).

What it won't sound like is a sentence.

In the wave of development sweeping across Miami's urban core, the one-word condo name is king.
