38 Canadian Real Estate Professionals Tour Miami Pre-construction Projects With Michael Light Posted on November 13, 2015November 13, 2015 by Michael Light Last week, I hosted a group of 38 members from Toronto, Canada’s Building Industry and Land Development Association (“BILD”) for exclusive presentations of Miami’s top pre-construction condo developments. The study tour for the BILD group was primarily to learn how Miami developers are attracting luxury buyers to our Miami market AND many of the individuals on the tour were interested in purchasing pre-construction condos for their own investment purposes. One of the members of BILD is an avid reader of this very blog and thought I would be the perfect broker to work with because of my knowledge of the Miami condo market. About nine months ago, I was approached by BILD to assist them with touring multiple, highly-sought-after pre-construction condo developments in Greater Downtown Miami, including Brickell and Edgewater along with Sunny Isles Beach. I spent the better part of a month putting together the logistics of the tour which took place on Wednesday and Friday last week. On Wednesday, I started the tour with a presentation and breakfast at the Delano Hotel where I presented a snapshot of the Miami condo market, average pricing by neighborhood and an overview of the vast number of new projects either currently under construction or in the planning stages. We went on to receive presentations of Elysee, Gran Paraiso and Aria on the Bay in Edgewater and One Thousand Museum and Paramount Miami Worldcenter in Downtown Miami. On Friday, we began our day by visiting Brickell Flatiron, who hosted a breakfast for the group, and then went on a walking tour through Brickell as I pointed out and described each individual building under construction and existing, on our way to visit Brickell City Centre’s Reach and Rise Towers followed by a visit to Sunny Isles Beach for an amazing presentation of Porsche Design Tower to end the day and the tour. The overall tour was a great success! I made great connections with many developers, brokers looking to refer their clients in the Miami area and others that were interested in individually purchasing investment properties in Miami.

Gran Paraiso – 80% Reserved After Only 3 Months! Posted on August 13, 2015 by Michael Light While visiting the sales center with my clients yesterday, I was told that 80% of the units at the Gran Paraiso condo tower in Edgewater have already been reserved even though floor plans and pricing were just released merely months ago for the project. In fact, the entire Paraiso master development situated along Biscayne Bay, which includes One Paraiso, Paraiso Bay, Paraiso Bayviews and Gran Paraiso, seems to be selling seamlessly and quite fast. One Paraiso and Paraiso Bay are already sold out, but you can still purchase units in Gran Paraiso, although few remain, and Paraiso Bayviews (west views only) which is currently just over 90% sold out and currently under construction.
