MLH Picks: Today’s Top 5 Miami Pre-Construction Condo Developments

 
The South Florida pre-construction condo market is constantly changing, so Miami Luxury Homes has picked our Top 5 pre-construction condo developments. These developments are what we consider the best overall buy, which does not mean the cheapest, necessarily. Our top picks are based on an accumulation of traits, such as location, value proposition, long-term value, architect, development team and amenities.

Now, also keep in mind, every buyer has a different idea of the “perfect” residence or vacation home, so choosing the right pre-construction development ultimately depends on your wants and needs in a project. So, if you are interested in pre-construction condos, please do not hesitate to call me to discuss what would be the best investment for you specifically, whether you want to buy as a short-term investment or to hold long term.

Ok, now let’s get to our top picks…

And, although the tower will stand 62 stories, it will actually be a boutique-esque tower as it only consists of 83 residences and will feature over-the-top amenities and services for its residents including an exclusive rooftop helipad, double-height aquatic center, indoor and outdoor pools and spas and so much more.

One Thousand Museum is currently under construction at 539 feet above ground as of this week with decking at level 50 marking it at 76% of its final planned height at 706 feet above ground.
