Wellness, Design, and the New Amenity Standard in South Florida Luxury Condos
Across South Florida, the most competitive luxury towers are no longer defined only by views and square footage. Today, buyers are underwriting a lifestyle platform: wellness suites that read like private clubs, resort-caliber aquatic programs, and entertainment spaces engineered for in-residence social life.

In Aventura, boutique, design-forward projects offer a tighter, more residential take on the same idea. And in Miami-beach, the branded-residence conversation continues to evolve, with buyers treating membership-like access and service culture as part of the home itself.

Baccarat Residences vs Una Residences: Two Waterfront View Philosophies in Brickell
In Brickell’s most coveted edge-of-water parcels, “the view” is not a single promise. It is a choreography of height, orientation, glazing, and what sits between you and the horizon. Baccarat Residences and Una Residences represent two distinct ways to buy into Biscayne Bay: one through a high-rise, dual-water icon at the river mouth, the other through a boutique, yacht-inspired curve designed to keep the bay constantly in frame.
South Florida Ultra-Luxury Real Estate: 2026 Signals, Risks, and a Buyer’s Strategy
In South Florida, the ultra-luxury conversation is no longer about whether demand exists. It is about how demand is structured, who is underwriting it, and which submarkets are positioned to hold value through the next cycle. From record-setting trophy sales to cash-heavy international condo demand, the region continues to behave like a global resort city with a finance capital’s liquidity. At the same time, valuation risk is part of the narrative, and sophisticated buyers are increasingly selective on building quality, location, and governance.
