Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best luxury condos in Miami?

The best luxury condos in Miami depend on your priorities. For service: Four Seasons Surf Club, St. Regis Sunny Isles, and Ritz-Carlton Miami Beach. For architecture: One Thousand Museum (Zaha Hadid) and Porsche Design Tower. For privacy: Six Fisher Island. For value: Missoni Baia in Edgewater. For urban lifestyle: Cipriani Brickell and St. Regis Brickell.

How much do luxury condos cost in Miami?

Miami luxury condo prices range from $700/SF (Brickell) to $4,500/SF (Fisher Island). Entry-level luxury starts at $700-1,000/SF in areas like Brickell and Edgewater. Premium branded residences (Four Seasons, St. Regis) range $1,800-3,500/SF. Ultra-luxury (Fisher Island, Apogee) commands $3,000-4,500/SF. A typical 2-bedroom luxury unit costs $1.5-3M; penthouses start at $5M and exceed $50M for trophy properties.

What are branded residences?

Branded residences are condominiums affiliated with luxury hotel or lifestyle brands. In Miami, this includes Four Seasons, St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Cipriani, and automotive brands like Porsche and Bentley. Residents receive hotel-style services (concierge, housekeeping, dining), access to hotel amenities, and professional property management. Branded residences typically command 25-35% price premiums but offer stronger resale values and rental programs for absentee owners.

Which Miami condos have car elevators?

Three Miami buildings feature car elevators (Dezervator systems) that transport vehicles directly to units: Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles (60 floors, $1,600-2,400/SF), Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles (pre-construction, 63 floors), and the original concept pioneered by Porsche. These buildings appeal to car collectors who want to display vehicles in their living rooms as 'automotive art' rather than park in conventional garages.

What is the best neighborhood for luxury condos in Miami?

The best neighborhood depends on lifestyle. South of Fifth (SoFi): quietest beach neighborhood, limited inventory, strong appreciation. Sunny Isles: highest concentration of branded residences, 'Billionaire's Row.' Fisher Island: ultimate privacy, most exclusive. Brickell: urban walkability, young energy, strongest rental demand. Surfside: family-friendly beach community, Four Seasons. Coconut Grove: village charm, marina lifestyle. Edgewater: best value per square foot with bay views.

Can foreigners buy luxury condos in Miami?

Yes, foreigners can buy condos in Miami with few restrictions. Unlike co-ops in New York, Miami condos have no board approval process. Foreign buyers can purchase as individuals, through LLCs, or via trusts. Cash purchases are common; financing is available at 40-50% down payment. Important exception: Florida SB 264 restricts purchases within 10 miles of military installations for nationals of certain countries (China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Syria). Consult an attorney if this applies.

What are HOA fees for Miami luxury condos?

HOA fees (called maintenance or common charges) typically range $0.80-2.50/SF monthly. Branded residences are higher at $2.00-3.50/SF due to enhanced services. A typical 2,000 SF luxury unit pays $1,600-5,000/month. Fees cover building insurance, common areas, amenities, staff, reserves, and (for branded buildings) hotel services. Important: Florida's new condo laws require adequate reserves, so fees in older buildings may increase significantly.

Are Miami condos a good investment?

Miami condos can be excellent investments, particularly for: (1) Tax optimization - no state income tax means high earners keep more rental income; (2) Long-term appreciation - waterfront land is finite and development costs only increase; (3) Rental income - strong demand from seasonal and corporate renters. Best investment buildings have flexible rental policies (no restrictions or 30-day minimums). Avoid buildings with 6-month or 1-year rental minimums if income is important.
