The Bristol vs. South Flagler House: Choosing Between an Established Icon and a New Waterfront Statement

In West Palm Beach, the conversation around The Bristol and South Flagler House often reveals more about buyer psychology than floor plans. One name signals established prestige, proven market acceptance, and the quiet confidence of a residence that has already written its story. The other represents the allure of New-construction: fresh design thinking, today’s lifestyle priorities, and the opportunity to be early to a new address. Here is a discreet, decision-first guide to evaluating both through views, privacy, service culture, and long-term optionality.

Miami Pre-Construction Deposit Structures: Typical Schedules and Strategy

Miami's luxury pre-construction market runs on staged deposits that function both as construction capital for developers and as strategic tools for global buyers. Rather than a single down payment at closing, high profile towers in Downtown, Brickell and across the coastline rely on 30-50% deposits spread over several years. Understanding how these schedules are structured, how escrow operates under Florida law and where there is room to negotiate timing or percentages is essential for anyone wiring seven or eight figures into a tower that is still on the drawing board.
