This people-first urban trail is set to feature 120 acres of open spaces with restored natural habitats, improved pedestrian and bicycle pathways, recreational facilities, public art installations, and community programs. The public-private partnership is designed by James Corner Field Operations. The project is planned to be completed in 2025.

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...
