New Construction vs. Resale in South Florida: The 2026 Luxury Buyer’s Advantage

A data-driven look at why the historic new-construction premium has softened, how incentives change the effective price, and what sophisticated South Florida buyers should watch in pre-construction and resale transactions.

Park Grove vs The Well Coconut Grove: Two Visions of Luxury Living in Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove’s most coveted condos are increasingly defined by amenity philosophy: design-led resort living versus an embedded, club-grade wellness ecosystem. Park Grove, designed by OMA/Rem Koolhaas with gardens by Enzo Enea, set an early benchmark for architecture-forward, hospitality-style services in the neighborhood. THE WELL Coconut Grove arrives as a New Project with a more structured wellness framework, including a dedicated wellness club and recovery modalities, though it remains Pre-construction and subject to approvals and final programming.

Why Global Buyers Keep Choosing Miami’s Ultra-Private Second Homes

International demand is no longer a headline in South Florida. It is the operating reality of the new luxury market, especially in condo-forward neighborhoods where service, security, and global brand signals matter as much as views.

North Bay Village’s New Luxury Blueprint: Continuum Club & Residences and Pagani Residences

North Bay Village has moved from pass-through geography to a waterfront address with real design intent. Two incoming towers, Continuum Club & Residences and Pagani Residences, frame that shift in unusually clear terms: one built around club-scale amenities and broader price accessibility, the other engineered for low-density privacy and a bespoke, brand-led interior program. For buyers weighing a primary home, a lock-and-leave second residence, or a long-horizon position in a rezoning-driven neighborhood, the opportunity is not just about views. It is about how each project translates lifestyle into measurable decisions: ceiling heights, finish systems, carrying costs, marina access, and the quiet logistics that determine whether a building feels effortless.
