About
Fisher Island in Miami
Fisher Island is a 216-acre private island
residential community of unrivaled luxury
and splendor. Residents, Club members and
Hotel & Resort guests enjoy a host of
sumptuous amenities including The Fisher
Island Hotel & Resort, voted as Miami's Best
Hotel by Zagat's Survey.
Originally built in the 1920's by William
and Rosamund Vanderbilt as their splendid
winter estate, Fisher Island has enjoyed a
long history of entertaining the luminaries
of its time. Current distinguished residents
include Oprah Winfrey and other celebrities.
Fisher Island has been restored to its
former grandeur and, in the process, it has
become a world-class residential community.
Although no longer a one-family island,
Fisher Island still remains somewhat
inaccessible to the public and uninvited
guests and exclusive by modern standards as
it was in the days of the Vanderbilt's,
providing similar refuge and retreat for its
residents. |

Fisher
Island is a census-designated place (CDP)
and town located on a man-made island of the
same name in both the City of Miami Beach
and on unincorporated land in Miami-Dade
County, Florida. As of the 2000 census, the
CDP had only 218 households and a total
population of 467 persons. The relatively
small Miami Beach portion, at the extreme
northeast part of the island, contains only
one building. The developer is building the
first new building on the island, and only
two more buildings will be completed. This
will finish the development on the island,
and leave it to 750 units, or 29% of an acre
per apartment. As one famous resident says,
“You get all of the amenities of a high rise
while remaining close to the dirt.”

Named for automotive parts pioneer and Miami
Beach developer Carl G. Fisher, who once
owned it, Fisher Island is 3 miles off shore
of Miami, Florida. No road or causeway
connects to the island, which is accessible
by private ferry and helicopter. Once a
one-family island home of the Vanderbilts,
and later several other millionaires, it was
sold for development in 1960s. The property
sat vacant for well over 15 years before
development was begun for very limited and
restrictive multi-family use.
Today, Fisher Island is occupied again, but
remains a very exclusive and wealthy
community. According to the U.S. Census
Bureau, Fisher Island had the highest per
capita income of any place in the United
States in 2000.
The Fisher Island was created in 1905 by a
dredging and land reclamation project in and
around Miami Beach. Construction of Fisher
Island began in 1919 when Carl G. Fisher a
land developer, purchased the property from
businessman and real estate developer Dana
A. Dorsey, southern Florida's first Negro
millionaire. In 1925 William Kissam
Vanderbilt II traded a luxury yacht to
Fisher for ownership of the island.

Beach at the upper left Florida Photographic
CollectionAfter Vanderbilt's death in 1944,
ownership of the island passed to U.S. Steel
heir Edward Moore. Moore died in the early
1950s, and Gar Wood, the millionaire
inventor of hydraulic construction
equipment, bought it. Wood, a speedboat
enthusiast, kept the island a one-family
retreat. In 1963, Wood sold to a development
group that included local Key Biscayne
millionaire Bebe Rebozo, Miami native and US
Senator George Smathers, and then former
U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon, who had
promised to leave politics. (Interestingly
enough, during his subsequent Presidency
from 1968-1973, and during the Watergate
scandal, Nixon maintained a home on nearby
Key Biscayne known as the "Key Biscane
Whitehouse" that was the former residence of
Senator Smathers and next door to Rebozo,
but none of the three ever resided on Fisher
Island.)
The Rosenstiel School of Marine and
Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) of the
University of Miami maintained the
Comparative Sedimentology Laboratory on
Fisher Island from 1972 to 1990 under the
leadership of Dr. Robert Ginsburg.
After years of legal battles and changes in
ownership, further development on the island
was finally started in the 1980s, with
architecture matching the original 1920s
Spanish style mansions. Although no longer a
one-family island, in 2005, Fisher Island
still remains somewhat inaccessible to the
public and uninvited guests and exclusive by
modern standards as it was in the days of
the Vanderbilts, providing similar refuge
and retreat for its residents. The island
contains mansions, a hotel, and a country
club. Boris Becker and Mel Brooks are among
the celebrities with homes on the island.
In 2005, the island attempted to incorporate
[1] as a town, but the Miami-Dade County
Commission did not support this initiative.
The County Commissioner, Natasha Seijas,
known for her wicked and inappropriate sense
of humor, stated that the island was only
full of fairies and dykes – a play on words
since the island requires ferry transport to
obtain passage and the human-made island can
also refer to the water control methods of
dikes . The Commissioner, known for many
issues apart For Sale from politics, has her
own problems to deal with, including a
petition drive to remove her from office .
There is a mystique about the island,
primarily due to its inaccessibility.
Through the internet, people can explore the
island
In 2006, a labor union tried to enter the
island and create a divide between the
residents and the employees of the island.
The New York Times wrote an exposé on the
situation, see article [5]. In the article,
residents were portrayed as not caring about
the welfare of the community, but residents
dispute this characterization, insisting
that the island is comprised of financially
successful, compassionate people who have
established several charitable activities on
the island, provide health insurance to
their employees and are involved in various
arts organizations in the Miami-Dade area.
