From Miami to Boca Raton, the conversation has changed. I’m no longer just seeing people trade snow for sunshine; I’m seeing them trade tax liability for lifestyle equity. For my clients who demand the "Five-Star Standard" - unrivaled privacy, breathtaking views, and long-term appreciation.
I’ve done the deep dive into the 2026 pre-construction landscape, and the data is clear. I’ve selected three hospitality-branded projects that are outperforming the market. These aren't just pretty pictures - they are high-end investment opportunities selling at record speeds. Here is the inside track on three hospitality branded projects I am recommending to my clients right now.
1. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami (Brickell Key)
The one that feels like you own the hotel
Imagine stepping off your private elevator straight into Mandarin Oriental’s legendary serene service - but in your own residence. There will be two towers in this bayfront project on Brickell Key giving you resort-style amenities, unobstructed water views, spacious layouts, and a true wellness focus. Units start at $6.6 Million and are built for people who actually live there full-time (not just investors).
The numbers speak louder than any brochure:
- The South Tower is already over 50% sold with $1.2 billion in sales
- Recent months alone added another $127 million in sales.
- The North Tower just launched and is following the same momentum
Buyers from the Northeast and California love the central Brickell location - walk to the best restaurants, 10 minutes to MIA airport, zero hurricane worry with top-tier construction. If you want privacy, prestige, and a brand that’s been delivering five-star experiences for decades, this is it.
2. St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach
The oceanfront powerhouse with white-glove service
Just north in Sunny Isles, the St. Regis is rewriting the skyline with deep terraces, enormous units (many over 4,500 sq ft), starting at $5 Million offering full St. Regis butler + concierge service. Think Ritz-Carlton-level success stories, but even more exclusive. Ocean and Intracoastal views are unobstructed, floor plans are family-friendly, and the appreciation track record in this corridor is legendary.
Sales momentum is off the charts:
- The South Tower is near 100% sold out.
- Developers just secured a $418.3 million construction loan
- Multiple $55 million penthouses have already closed — proof that ultra-high-net-worth buyers are all-in.
This is the project I show California clients who want that true beachfront lifestyle and Northeast families who are done with cold winters. Limited oceanfront supply + St. Regis brand = the kind of demand that drives strong price growth long after delivery.
3. Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove
The intimate, low-density gem everyone is quietly fighting for
If you crave exclusivity over flash, Coconut Grove’s Four Seasons Private Residences is pure gold. Only ~72 units total, a private bayfront setting, and the same legendary Four Seasons service you know from their flagship hotels. Spacious 2- to 4-bedroom layouts, lush resort amenities, and a neighborhood that feels like a tropical village — exactly what many California transplants tell me they’ve been missing. Starting at $5.6 Million.
The pre-sales numbers are equally impressive:
- Over 50% presold.
- $323.8 million construction loan secured with Bank OZK.
- Consistently ranked in every “best for 2026–2027 delivery” list for its proven brand performance and scarcity.
Perfect for families who want green space, privacy, and that upscale Grove vibe without living in a 60-story tower. It’s the one project where buyers say, “This actually feels like home already.”
The Bottom Line
These three properties aren’t just gorgeous; these condo towers are moving with real velocity:
- Mandarin Oriental → $1.2B+ and 57% sold
- St. Regis Sunny Isles → South Tower completely sold out
- Four Seasons Grove → 54% presold and climbing
All three deliver what relocating buyers from the Northeast and California crave most in a hospitality brand: hotel-level service you actually own, waterfront views, top-tier construction, and the kind of appreciation that turns today’s pre-construction price into tomorrow’s equity win.
Inventory at this level is disappearing fast. If you’re seriously considering the move to Florida, let’s get you the latest floor plans, current pricing, and VIP incentives before the best units are gone.
Call or reach out to me and I can forward a full overview and schedule a private virtual or in-person tour.
Your new Florida chapter starts with the right address - and these three are some of the top addresses Miami is talking about right now.
