At a time when inventory in Miami is at an all-time low and demand is at an all-time high, there could be no better timing of a flux of pre-construction projects on the horizon. With all of the people flocking to South Florida from New York, Connecticut, California and Illinois, leaving a depleted supply of available inventory, developers see this as the perfect time to start marketing their new developments. And, they are being proven right…these new construction buildings are selling at a velocity never-before-seen in Miami, it is seriously unbelievable! But, there are 9 condo buildings below that have launched within the past 6 months that still have amazing opportunities.

The 9 new condo developments below offer different price points in varying neighborhoods…for those looking for an affordable pied-a-terre to an expensive beachfront condo and a mix in between.

If you are interested in a private presentation of any of the new construction condos below, please contact Michael Light, Broker Associate and Executive Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman Real Estate and a member of the elite Sports and Entertainment Division. Michael is an expert at navigating the pre-construction condo market in Miami and the beaches and has been for more than 12 years. Buying pre-construction condos is very different than buying properties that are already built, so it is important to work with someone who is knowledgeable in this area of expertise. You may contact Michael directly at 786.566.1700 or michael@miamiluxuryhomes.com.
