High-Floor vs Low-Floor Condos in South Florida: A Buyer’s Decision Guide
In South Florida’s luxury condo market, floor level is less a status signal than a lifestyle choice. This MILLION Luxury guide breaks down the real tradeoffs between high-floors, low-floors, and the often-overlooked middle floor sweet spot.
The Billionaire Buyer Playbook for South Florida Trophy Real Estate
South Florida’s ultra-luxury market is no longer defined by simple “best views” narratives. At eight and nine figures, the decision framework tightens around scarcity, discretion, security, and operational ease. From record waterfront sales in Miami-Dade to headline listings on Indian Creek and legacy-scale assembly in Palm Beach, the market is increasingly set by buyers who treat real estate as long-horizon infrastructure.
Faena House Miami Beach: The Oceanfront Benchmark That Still Sets the Tone
Faena House Miami Beach remains one of Mid-Beach’s clearest signals of how architecture, brand ecosystem, and true scarcity translate into lasting pricing power. Designed by Foster + Partners and limited to 47 residences, the building has been the stage for record-setting transactions and a consistently watched resale narrative that continues to influence how ultra-luxury buyers underwrite Miami Beach.
The Perigon Miami Beach: OMA’s Oceanfront Condominium Vision on Collins Avenue
On Miami Beach’s storied Collins Avenue, The Perigon is positioning itself as a new kind of oceanfront address: architecture-forward, privacy-led, and intentionally resident-centric. Planned for 5333 Collins Avenue in the Mid-Beach corridor often called Millionaires’ Row, the 17-story, 73-residence tower brings together Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) with interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners and landscape architecture by Gustafson Porter + Bowman. With dual-water frontage between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Creek, and an amenity program that emphasizes private hospitality, The Perigon reflects where today’s ultra-prime buyer is headed: fewer residences, more discretion, and design that reads as a long-term asset, not a trend.
Sky Garages, Car Elevators, and the New Luxury of Living With Your Collection
From Sunny Isles Beach’s in-home sky garages to trackside “car condo” campuses across the country, automotive real estate has matured into a discreet asset class. For South Florida buyers, the story is less about novelty and more about control: climate, security, provenance, and the ability to enjoy a collection without surrendering privacy. This editorial looks at what’s been publicly disclosed, what’s been widely marketed, and what sophisticated buyers should underwrite before they bring the garage into the living room.
Vintage Miami Beach Condos: Design, Value, and the New Safety Era
From Ocean Drive’s Art Deco icons to Morris Lapidus-era towers and Venetian Islands bayfront living, vintage condos are back in focus. Today’s buyer is balancing architectural pedigree with Florida’s post-Surfside inspection and reserve realities, while watching a resale market where older inventory can trade faster than newer product. This MILLION Luxury editorial outlines what makes vintage compelling, what due diligence now demands, and how to compare classic buildings with today’s new-construction benchmarks.
