Top 5 Condominiums with Private Club Memberships Included in Ownership
A private club, bundled into condominium ownership, changes the rhythm of South Florida living: less planning, more certainty, and a hospitality layer that stays consistent across seasons.

Top 5 Developments Offering House Cars and Bespoke Chauffeur Services
In South Florida’s top tier, a house car is less a perk than a promise: the building can move you with the same discretion and consistency as it can host you. From curb-to-cabin transfers to evening reservations that require a quiet arrival, chauffeured service is becoming a decisive differentiator, especially for buyers who split time between waterfront neighborhoods and private aviation. Still, “house car” can mean anything from a scheduled sedan to a true, white-glove, concierge-led transportation program. The most compelling offerings combine professional drivers, polished service standards, and a front desk that treats routing, timing, and privacy as part of the residence’s operating system. Below, MILLION Luxury outlines five developments where the lifestyle narrative is inseparable from how you arrive.

This MILLION Luxury editorial compares two brand-forward towers through the lens that matters most when you are landing from abroad: delivery logistics. We outline a practical checklist for white-glove installation, security and access protocols, building rules, and the human timeline that determines whether your first night feels effortless or improvised.
The Impact of 2026 Federal Estate Tax Sunsets on Trust Purchases at The Residences at Six Fisher Island
With federal estate tax provisions widely expected to shift in 2026, sophisticated buyers are revisiting how they take title, especially when the asset is a South Florida legacy residence. On Fisher Island, where privacy, access control, and long-hold ownership are part of the value proposition, trust purchases can be less about tax headlines and more about governance: who controls the home, how costs are funded, what happens on incapacity, and how a multi-generational family actually uses the property. This MILLION Luxury editorial explores the practical impact of a potential 2026 estate tax “sunset” on trust-owned condo purchases at The Residences at Six Fisher Island, focusing on what can be decided at contract and closing, what must be coordinated with counsel, and where buyers tend to underestimate operational details once the deed is recorded.
