Miami’s 1,049-Foot Era: How Supertalls Are Rewriting the Luxury Condo Buyer’s Playbook

Miami’s next generation of ultra-tall, brand-led towers is converging around a widely referenced practical height ceiling of 1,049 feet, creating a new class of “sky estates” defined as much by service, resilience, and liquidity as by view.

Boutique vs Mega Developments in South Florida: A UHNW Buyer’s Guide to Privacy, Services, and Long-Term Value

In South Florida’s ultra-luxury market, the decision between a boutique condominium and a mega development is less about aesthetics and more about daily lived experience: privacy, service cadence, governance, and exit liquidity. Globally, ultra-high-net-worth households are growing, and many buyers are adding a Second-home to an already complex portfolio. That reality has elevated a familiar question into a strategic one: do you want a quieter, lower-density building that optimizes discretion, or a larger, amenity-rich address designed to function like a self-contained ecosystem? Below, MILLION Luxury breaks down the tradeoffs that matter most to sophisticated buyers evaluating Miami-beach, Brickell, and Palm-beach.

Miami’s Luxury Condo Resale Market: When New Towers Reset the Value of Older Icons

In South Florida, the luxury condo Resale market increasingly trades in the shadow of New-construction launches. A new tower’s design language, amenity stack, and buyer incentives can raise the ceiling for a neighborhood or compress pricing for older product that cannot match today’s expectations. For owners of established buildings, value protection is less about chasing the newest finish package and more about controlling presentation, timing, and terms. For buyers, the opportunity lies in understanding how developers set comps and how older icons can still win on location, scale, and certainty.
