The last time Miami was relevant, it wasn’t important. In the 1980s, Miami provided nothing more than drugs, clubs, pastel blazers, jai alai gambling and, most notably, a hit TV show about all four.
But now Miami is the most important city in America. Not because Miami stopped being a frivolous, regulation-free, climate-doomed tax haven dominated by hot microcelebrities. It became the most important city in America because...
Architect Robert A.M. Stern is best known for designing buildings for the wealthiest New Yorkers. Some of the largest residential deals in the U.S. have been at his towers overlooking Manhattan’s Central Park. Now, Mr. Stern’s eponymous firm is putting the finishing touches on the design for a Miami Beach project that is seeking to entice those same buyers to the Sunshine State.

While many early-life athletes shed their requisite gear in adulthood in favor of following a more conventional career path, many of the characteristics integral to sportsmanship like hard work, focus and drive can be easily transitioned into the high-pace environment of the modern business world.
According to Forbes, the increase in Miami property prices does not seem to be an obstacle for new residents coming from other US states and even from other countries. The “Magic City” has just been ranked among the TOP 10 best cities to live in Florida in 2023. Miami occupied the 6th position in the ranking and Orlando came in fifth place, out of a total of 400 cities approximately throughout the state.
Office building owners have it tough nationwide, but in South Florida the migration of companies to the Sunshine State coupled with limited trophy office supply should send rents higher. Limited land for new beachfront projects in Miami-Dade County will propel developers north to Fort Lauderdale and vicinity. And the countries of origin acquiring South Florida real estate will continue diversifying beyond South America.
These are among many predictions from South Florida-based real estate experts this month as they consider the impact of the pandemic-era boom in the South Florida real estate market and what it may signal for the post-pandemic years.
According to a recent article published on Robb Report, the Miami high-rise features a Solar Backbone, panes of glass embedded with solar technology.
It seems the future of sustainability is here, at least at Miami’s newest solar-powered high-rise, The Residences at 1428 Brickell. The project, recently announced by developer Ytech, is the first project of its kind in the world to integrate photovoltaic glazing within the facade.
The 70-story tower, designed by Milan-based ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, combines form and function with the solar energy features blended within the architectural aesthetic. The building features 500 photovoltaic-integrated windows on the west-facing facade that creates a Solar Backbone on the building.
The Residences at 1428 Brickell is currently accepting reservations with a five percent deposit and is set for completion in 2026.
According to a recent article published by Fortune, the sunny state is popular for its warm climate and no income tax, making it a haven for wealthy individuals. Largely for this reason, it has taken in more high-income earners than any other state, according to a new analysis from SmartAsset. IRS data was analyzed to measure pre-pandemic net migration patterns from 2019 to 2020 from which we can see that American families earned on average over 200,000 $ per year.
While some left Florida during this period, many moved in, creating a net influx of 20,263 high-income families. That's nearly four times the number of families in seniors in the second most popular place: Texas, which saw a net migration rate of 5,356 families.

Located between South Beach and downtown Miami, the Venetian Islands represent a set of six exclusive islands that straddle Biscayne Bay: Biscayne Island, San Marco Island, San Marino Island, Di Lido Island, Rivo Alto Island and Belle Isle.
The history of the Venetian Islands dates back to the year 1913. The original plan for the Venetian Islands was to be a much larger project than it is today, with four islands and two additional roads to be connected. Unfortunately, the Miami Hurricane of 1926 and the end of the Florida land boom of the 1920s interrupted this grand construction project.
Today, the Venetian Islands are home to luxury condominiums, rental complexes, and a beautiful city park where residents can stroll and spend time with their children in multiple parks and green spaces. The islands are connected by a series of bridges: the Venetian Causeway. The causeway and the edges of the islands are famous for sightseeing, sunset walks, jogging, rollerblading, and other outdoor activities.
Homeowners residing on the Venetian Islands as well as visitors can easily access downtown's fashionable shops and nightlife via the Causeway. Residents therefore live between two worlds, between a tropical paradise offering an island lifestyle, idyllic and relaxing sheltered from the hustle and bustle of city life, and a direct connection to the city center, where the majority of activities and areas of attractions are located.
Over the years, residents have transformed the Venetian Causeway into a sort of neighborhood promenade. It has become very popular for residents to bike, walk, jog and walk their pets, or stop for a while and enjoy the sunset. The Venetian Islands are synonymous with luxury, relaxation, and a restful life with very little stress.
Living on these islands allows residents to enjoy a peaceful tropical enclave in the heart of one of the most exciting and exciting cities in the United States. It's no surprise, then, that these islands are home to some of the most sought-after real estate in the Miami area.
Between the hectic activities on the islands, and those nearby by taking the Causeway, the Venetian Islands offer an unparalleled diversity of experiences. Among the many activities available and nearby, it is highly recommended to visit the Standard Hotel for an incredible spa experience or a pool scene overlooking the bay. For a family outing, head to Park West where you'll find the Perez Art Museum and the Frost Science Museum. For unforgettable dining experiences, dine at Sunset Harbor's various restaurants, including Sushi Garage, NaiYara, Icebox Café or La Moderna. If you're into outdoor experiences, bike, run or walk along the Venetian Causeway, and take time to get your exercise in Sunset Harbor at Green Monkey Yoga.
The islands are purely residential and do not have their own infrastructures, such as schools, banks, or supermarkets. However, they are located within minutes of Miami's vibrant and central neighborhoods, such as Downtown and South Beach.
There are approximately 38,488 residents in the Venetian Islands. The houses or apartments for sale are at the high end of luxury real estate, given the unparalleled quality of life that the islands offer. This area is, of course, a great place to live, but people are also buying properties here for investment purposes. Also, the natural beauty of the Venetian Islands has made it one of the most exquisite and expensive real estate in Miami. Therefore, the islands are also popular with actors and celebrities.
There are many options for apartments to rent or buy, at different budgets. From an architectural point of view, the properties for sale on the Venetian Islands are often astonishing, remarkably constructed and varied. Single-family homes on the Venetian Islands also differ, ranging from huge mansions on large lots to smaller homes on more modest lots. The architecture is eclectic and the housing styles also coexist. 1930s Mediterranean style bungalows, contemporary architectural works of art, plus many homes include amenities such as swimming pools, tennis courts and private gyms… There's something for everyone. If you like to wake up with your feet in the water and watch the horizon in the distance, there are also many beachfront properties with boat docks and breathtaking views. Luxury condos are available on Biscayne Island and Belle Isle, and many residences offer the most breathtaking views that one can imagine.
