View Protection: How to Ensure Your Future Condo’s View Won’t Be Obstructed by New Development

In South Florida, a “protected view” is rarely a single promise. It is the combined effect of waterfront rights, zoning and height limits on nearby parcels, recorded restrictions, and the practical discipline of monitoring what can be built next door. This guide explains what typically holds up under scrutiny, where buyers overestimate protection, and how to structure diligence so your horizon remains an asset rather than a surprise.

Choosing the Best View and Exposure: A Guide to Unit Orientation in Miami Condos

Exposure is not a footnote in South Florida condo buying. It is a daily, physical experience that shapes how a residence feels at 8 a.m., how hard the air conditioning works at 5 p.m., how usable the terrace is at golden hour, and how private the interior remains after dark. In a region where the sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest, the same “water view” can read entirely differently depending on compass direction, season, surrounding buildings, and the width of the water you face. This MILLION Luxury editorial is a buyer-oriented guide to selecting exposure with intention. Think of it less as a debate between sunrise and sunset, and more as a disciplined match between lifestyle, light quality, heat gain, privacy, and long-term view resilience.
