Miami is in the middle of a building boom, as migrating buyers continue demanding more luxurious residences and exclusive living experiences in the city. With expectations rising for premium lifestyle options in Miami, developers are leaving no stone unturned to deliver the next level in world-class, ultra-luxury, service-driven condo projects.

This month, in a nod to increasing buyer demand, developers Naftali Group and JDS Development announced plans for two unique condo projects. Brickell’s Cipriani Residences, as well as Mid-Beach’s The Perigon, launched sales. Developers at The Standard already started converting to contracts. And, developer Melo Group announced that it will break ground on the highly-anticipated Aria Reserve project in Edgewater this May.

Further, as the city core fills up, March saw some developers spreading out in search of developable land. This had Fontainebleau’s Jeffrey Soffer propose two new condo towers for Aventura, while Location Ventures chose Coral Gables for its latest $100M luxury condo project. Also grabbing headlines was Dezer’s Bentley Residences, as their sales gallery welcomed a life-sized sculpture of Bentley’s upcoming electric vehicle model from England.
