Corner Unit Premium: Are End Units Worth the Higher Price in a Luxury Condo Building?

Corner residences remain one of the most consistently coveted positions in a South Florida tower. They offer more glass, more angles on the view, and typically fewer shared walls, but they also bring practical trade-offs: more exterior exposure to weather, potentially higher cooling demand, and sometimes more street noise. In today’s more negotiable luxury condo environment, the smartest approach is to separate the emotional draw from the defensible value by verifying how corner units have actually priced and resold within the same building and stack.

Origin vs The Well in Bay Harbor Islands: Wellness & fitness

In Bay Harbor Islands, two boutique newcomers are shaping a quieter definition of luxury: one built around a fully integrated wellness club, the other around waterfront design and marina access. The Well Bay Harbor Islands, a Terra Group development with architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Meyer Davis, frames daily life through a dedicated on-site wellness center and club-style membership. Origin Residences by Artefacto answers with a smaller, design-driven collection that emphasizes Artefacto-branded interiors, glass-forward living, and a private marina lifestyle. For buyers weighing a second home, a primary residence, or a lock-and-leave pied-à-terre near Bal-harbour, the decision is less about which building is “better” and more about which philosophy fits your routines. Here is how the two compare through the lens of space, services, privacy, and the lived experience of Bay Harbor.

Co-Owning a Luxury Vacation Home: Smart Strategy to Share Costs or Recipe for Conflict?

Fractional co-ownership is moving from a niche idea to a pragmatic strategy for buyers who want South Florida access without carrying 100% of a trophy home’s costs. The appeal is simple: deeded equity, predictable scheduling, and a structure that can be far cleaner than informal family or friend arrangements. The risk is equally clear: without meticulous agreements on usage, expenses, governance, and exits, even sophisticated owners can end up in a dispute that feels more like litigation than leisure. This MILLION Luxury playbook outlines how fractional ownership typically works, where friction tends to surface, and what high-net-worth buyers should insist on before wiring funds. It is written for clients who value discretion, clarity, and long-term optionality, whether the home is meant to be a personal retreat, a legacy asset, or a mixed-use property with selective rental income.

Sticker Shock: Why Condo Fees Are Rising - Understanding Florida’s New Condo Reserve Laws

Florida’s post-Surfside condominium reforms have moved building safety, reserves, and budgeting from “best practice” to statutory requirement. For South Florida’s luxury buyer, the impact is less about headlines and more about underwriting: milestone inspections, Structural Integrity Reserve Studies, and non-waivable reserve lines are now central to a building’s true cost of ownership. With additional changes taking effect in 2025 and shaping 2026 budgets, due diligence has become as architectural as it is financial.

The Impact of Rising Sea Levels on Luxury Coastal Real Estate (and How Developers Are Adapting)

A discreet, buyer-oriented look at how accelerating sea-level rise is reshaping design, underwriting, and value across South Florida’s ultra-prime residential market.

Private Backyard Pool or Rooftop Infinity? Choosing Between a Mansion’s Personal Oasis and a Condo’s Resort-Style Pool

For South Florida luxury buyers, the pool decision is no longer just about having water on site. It is about where the water sits, who controls it, and how its true cost shows up over time. Rooftop pools elevate the experience with skyline and ocean views while preserving interior square footage, but they introduce complex engineering and shared-governance realities. Private pools deliver total control and privacy, yet carry direct installation, upkeep, and long-term responsibility. This editorial breaks down the choice with a buyer-first lens: lifestyle, costs, resale signal, and risk management.
