Is Viceroy Brickell better for owners who entertain clients than for families who live there full time?

How the Certificate of Use Requirements Impact Miami Vacation Rental Investors
In Miami, vacation-rental performance is not only a function of design, view, and walkability. It is also a compliance question.

How Proposed Homestead Tax Eliminations Will Accelerate the Transition of Miami Secondary Homes into Primary Residences
Proposals to eliminate or substantially expand homestead-style property-tax relief in Florida have moved from technical policy chatter into dinner-table strategy for owners of Miami-area second homes. For the ultra-premium market, the immediate question is not ideological. It is practical: if the financial advantage of declaring a Florida primary residence becomes meaningfully larger, how quickly will lifestyle-driven “part-time” ownership convert into full-time residency and what will that do to pricing, inventory, and building-level dynamics? With limited verified detail on any specific proposal, the throughline is still clear. Homestead benefits are binary in real life: you either qualify as a primary resident or you do not. When the economic difference widens, behavior follows. In South Florida, where many luxury owners already split time between multiple homes, the friction is rarely emotional. It is administrative, legal, and logistical. Reduce the tax friction and the region’s second-home inventory increasingly behaves like primary-home inventory. This is the inflection point MILLION Luxury clients are already modeling: which properties become “sticky” primary residences, which remain flexible pied-à-terres, and which will be repositioned as long-term rentals or sold into a thinner pool of true second-home buyers.
