Miami’s New and Pre-Construction Condo Update: April 2021

May 04, 2021 May 04, 2021

The sudden surge in buyer interest in Miami’s luxury condo market that started in 2020 continued into April. With businesses and wealthy buyers continuing to pour in from the Midwest, Northeast, and California, developers are lining up new luxury condo development projects. From Dezer Development to Dacra, condo developers of all sizes are betting on Miami’s future growth, and the incoming wave of wealthy buyers taking advantage of South Florida’s lucrative tax benefits.

Recent Miami pre-construction condo news included Gil Dezer back with a major luxury car-branded condo project for Sunny Isles, Bentley Residences. Dacra is one step closer to realizing its architecturally significant flagship in the Design District. The Shoma Group has a 19-story project approved for North Bay Village. Turnberry Ocean Club is welcoming residents ready to move in. Two new developments have been proposed for Aventura plus Edgewater. And, the developers of Downtown’s E11even Hotel and Residences are planning on adding another tower to their kitty, as the first stands 90% sold within just a few months of launching sales.
