The luxury condo market in South Florida is seeing strong demand and developers are more tuned in than ever. As more out-of-towners rush in following the migration of major businesses from Silicon Valley, New York City and other major cities, luxury housing is in another boom cycle in South Florida, one of the strongest seen in decades. Developers are not only chasing deadlines to build out their latest condo projects, but also chasing developable land by replacing older buildings and assembling parcels in bulk deals wherever possible. This September, Selene Oceanfront Residences in Fort Lauderdale opened its brand-new sales gallery where visitors can experience the designer finishes in the model kitchen. The Related Group won zoning approval for its second oceanfront condo development in Pompano Beach. And, Jeffrey Soffer’s Fontainebleau Development went shopping for new land in Jupiter.  Read on for details on these and more in our monthly condo pre-construction market roundup for...

Developers have turned bullish on new condo projects in Miami, and rightly so. Riding the wave of increasing demand for luxury housing in South Florida, developers are reviving shelved projects, assembling land, buying out older buildings and expanding from the city core to get their projects into development. Melo Group and Related Group are already busy assembling parcels in Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District and Wynwood, respectively. Downtown’s Legacy condo-hotel, 501 First Residences, and Natiivo are already 100% sold out. Lofty Brickell made a soft debut this month with a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom ready-to-rent residences.

Condos with a prestigious Brickell Avenue address have always been high in demand. Why? Because living in Brickell means residents are right in the middle of the second-largest business and banking center in the U.S. that is also the biggest gateway to businesses in Latin America.  Not to forget, with the recent business exodus from Silicon Valley and up North, Brickell is now home to a majority of influential offices in South Florida, and is also fondly nicknamed “Wall Street of the South.” Sandwiched between S. Miami Avenue and the dazzling waters of Biscayne Bay, Brickell Avenue begins at the mouth of the Miami River and stretches down to the Rickenbacker Causeway. This somewhat 1.7-mile-long stretch is bordered by several consulates, foreign offices, financial institutions, schools, fine restaurants, bars, a marina, a Metromover station, and of course, the Bay – making it a true live-work-play environment fit for young professionals and families alike. Here’s a list of things you...
