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

Jun 10, 2022 June 10, 2022

Miami’s pre-construction condo market is giving the summer heat some competition, as developers continue to bring new product to buyers. Seizing opportunities in lower density neighborhoods, developers are fanning out, announcing plans for new developments in neighborhoods like Wynwood, Surfside, and Bay Harbor Islands. Those with existing approvals are stepping up efforts, as we see below at Sophie, Una, and others.

This May, we also had two sales launches – Mid-beach’s 42 Pine and Brickell’s St. Regis Residences Tower 2. The highly anticipated Aria Reserve broke ground in Edgewater. The historic Raleigh Hotel announced that it will be redeveloped into a Rosewood-branded condo-hotel with a separate 44-unit tower. And the historic Deauville has a new owner tapping Frank Gehry to rework designs for a six-star hotel with luxury residences.

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

With the vision to build something substantial, iconic, and transformational at the dilapidated Deauville Resort site, billionaire owner of the Miami Dolphins, Stephen M. Ross recently purchased the property. 

Considering Deauville’s opportune site, Stephen Ross plans to develop a “world-class, six-star hotel and luxury residences” on the oceanfront parcel. The condo-hotel will be designed by New York’s legendary architect, Frank Gehry - also known for designing New York’s Hudson Yards, the Deutsche Bank Center (formerly the Time Warner Center), and Miami’s New World Symphony Center. The new design will pay homage to the original Deauville without increasing density.

Built in 1957, the 540-room Deauville was shuttered down after an electrical fire broke out in 2017. Currently, the court has ordered demolition of the hotel, citing code violations due to safety issues. The building is in the process of being stripped of asbestos and will be imploded soon.
