Development Pipeline
Several new towers planned for 2025-2027, including ultra-luxury developments. This signals continued appreciation potential. The Arsht Center and Museum Park are nearby, enhancing cultural appeal.
Who Lives Here?
Young families, professionals working downtown, and retirees seeking waterfront living. More residential feel than Brickell's urban energy. International buyers from Latin America appreciate the value proposition.
Investment Outlook
Rental yields: 4-5% annually. Appreciation potential: 5-7% as neighborhood continues developing. Best for medium-term holds (5-10 years). Some buildings allow short-term rentals, boosting income potential.
Considerations
Still developing - some areas need infrastructure improvements. Traffic can be heavy during rush hour. Not as walkable as Brickell but improving. Nightlife is quieter (pro or con depending on preference).
