Sep’s Expert Advice
“We’re seeing a window of opportunity open up for buyers right now: condo prices have come down considerably, interest rates are at a 10-month low, and condo fees have stabilized with lower condo insurance premiums. If you were waiting to buy, this could be your signal to take another look. Let's talk.”

Our Miami Pre-Construction Pick of the Month
“It’s not every day you get a chance to buy into Brickell Key, let alone in a brand-new development by Mandarin Oriental. This project includes two towers, 228 residences, and over 80,000 square feet of amenities, all with that signature Mandarin Oriental hospitality. For anyone looking for real privacy and five-star service in the heart of the city, this is a rare opportunity.”
– Jessica Turner, Licensed Real Estate Associate
Word On The Block
“When I lived in Florence, a cult-favorite of everyone’s was the tiny sandwich shop All’Antico Vinaio. Well, it’s now making its South Florida debut with two locations on the way, in Brickell and Miami Beach. Known for their thick schiacciata bread and indulgent fillings, the sandwiches have already drawn massive lines in their NYC outposts. Come November, don’t miss their Thanksgiving Special, La Tacchino Goloso: tender turkey, creamy stracciatella, pumpkin cream, and crunchy pumpkin seeds. Opening dates haven’t been confirmed yet, but we can’t wait!”

Condo Crush
“The South Tower at Aria Reserve is officially complete and welcoming residents. The layouts are true flow-through with expansive views, and there is a very interesting site of amenities. Also, this will be the tallest waterfront residential twin-tower development in the U.S., with the North Tower already well underway, expected to be delivered next year. This one’s moving fast, so now’s the time to take a look. If it’s on your radar, just reach out!”
– Stephanie Bienstock, Director of Luxury Sales
The Greenprint
“Miami Beach will soon be home to a 7-mile underwater sculpture park, snorkel trail and artificial reef, set to transform the coastline into a living gallery. The ReefLine will launch this fall with Leandro Erlich’s Concrete Coral, an installation of 22 concrete cars seeded with live coral. Only in Miami.”
– Marilia Kodic, Managing Editor
Coming Soon
“Padel is officially having its Miami moment, and global club brand Reserve is taking it to the next level. Scheduled to open in early 2026, Reserve Padel Miami will be the largest padel facility in the U.S., with 21 courts, a rooftop lounge, and waterfront views in Wynwood. My bet is it will become a major anchor in Miami’s sports and social scene.”
– Belen Lopez Larroy, Marketing Manager
