January 2022: Miami’s New and Pre-Construction Condo Update

Feb 04, 2022 February 04, 2022

Miami’s building boom continues into 2022 with strong buyer demand supporting developer plans. The first month of the year kicked off with two major sales launches - Miami Worldcenter’s The Crosby and Sunny Isles’ Bentley Residences. Koya Bay broke ground in North Miami Beach. Ytech won approval for its 1,049-foot supertall, putting it at the same height as the preconstruction Waldorf Astoria condo-hotel. 

Fueled by surging buyer demand, Lofty Brickell and Downtown’s E11even Residences Beyond were both 50% sold out within weeks of launching sales. We also have quite a few developments under our watchlist such as Edgewater’s Denny’s site sale, demolition of the Deauville Resort, and more as developers have turned bullish on acquiring parcels for luxury condo developments to meet buyer demand.

Read on for details on these and more updates in our Miami condo pre-construction market roundup for January 2022:

Real Estate News Q3 2024 Miami Luxury Condo Market Summary: Sales Down, Prices Up in Buyer’s Market
What’s Miami’s luxury real estate market been up to? Well, with an expected slowdown after a high-paced second quarter, Miami’s luxury housing market downshifted into a softer cycle in Q3 2024.  While there was a decline in sales volume, prices increased and the average number of days on the market remained consistent year-over-year.

But another trend has emerged, and that is the Miami market has established a new definition of luxury.   This third quarter, the combined neighborhood of Coconut Grove & Coral Gables, continued outperforming all other neighborhoods in our quarterly analysis by reporting the highest percentage sales growth, fastest time to sell/lowest days on market, and lowest levels of inventory.  As we head into the 4th quarter, which is historically known to be the slowest of the year, and with the...
