Miami condos are back in demand again

Friday, October 28th, 2011

Miami condominiums are selling at a record speed, according to recent market reports, and the New York Post point to the most luxurious projects in the city.

Summer was hardly a vacation for those in the business of selling Miami real estate.  According to the recent article in New York Post forecast looks sunny again for Miami condo http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/realestate.

“I didn’t go to St. Tropez because of this,” says developer Gil Dezer, whose Sunny Isles Beach condo projects include the 384-unit Trump Royale and the three-building, 813-unit Trump Towers.  Dezer reports that he sold more than $100 million in Trump units during June, July and August ($50 million alone in August, including a $29 million, 34-unit bulk deal). He’s closed more than $1 billion in Trump condos overall and has only about 75 units left.

The three-building Trump Towers in Sunny Isles Beach

has sold about $800 million worth of condos

Recent Trump sales have been priced at about $525 per square foot and this is excellent price for Sunny Isles Real Estate, which mostly represented by luxury condos right on the beach. That’s significantly less than the $1,000-per-square-foot contracts buyers walked away from in 2009 after the financial crisis hit, but Dezer, who’s paid off the construction loans for all four buildings, seems satisfied. (Donald Trump participated in a ceremonial Trump Royale mortgage-burning ritual, lighting the document on fire himself, in January.)

The downturn “made the job challenging,” Dezer says. “Every day was a battle. But when you’re winning, it’s fun.”

Winning could also be used to describe the situation at Icon Brickell. That nearly 1,800-unit downtown colossus, built by the Related Group with designs by Philippe Starck, seemed to be in peril not long ago, and two of its three towers were deeded back to its lenders in May 2010. But Icon Brickell, which considered to be on the most luxurious condo in Miami,  now nearly sold out, with more than 1,500 units closing for a total of more than $700 million. When you factor in units in contract, only about 30 condos remain.

The Philippe Starck-designed Icon Brickell includes a spa.

“I think the market has consumed the inventory in a much more rapid way than I and probably everybody thought,” says Related Group chairman and CEO Jorge Perez, who adds that most buyers have been foreign. “The Latin American economy has been strong.”

“The forecast was that we would sell all the units in three years at an average price of $350 per square foot,” says Edgardo Defortuna, president of Fortune International Realty, which started selling Icon Brickell in June 2010.

Located just steps from the beach in the heart of South Beach  W South Beach Residences has closed about $260 million in condos at an average of $1,700-plus per square foot, developer David Edelstein  says. The W sold more than $50 million during the summer.

“One penthouse went for $7.7 million, north of $3,000 per square foot, said David.

W South Beach sells 23 units in three months

As with much of Miami, foreign buyers have been key at the W. From May through September, about 65 percent of Edelstein’s purchasers were foreign, and about half of those were from Brazil, who very actively investing in Miami Beach Real Estate.

The allure of the W has helped nearby condo buildings lure in buyers, including those from New York.

Resorts World Miami will have a huge impact on the city of Miami and on Miami Beach Real Estate.  “This will put Miami on the map and make it a destination,” said Bernardo Fort-Brescia, co-founder of Arquitectonica, the design team behind Resorts World Miami.  I couldn’t agree more with his assessment.  The development will allow Miami to compete with the big boys which includes the likes of New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.  It will turn Miami into a first-rate city almost overnight and have a profound effect on property values as a result.  To put everything into perspective, Resorts World Miami is a game changer.

That’s helping bolster Miami’s condo market, with total sales increasing 79 percent in the first five months of 2011 from a year earlier, according to data from the Florida Association of Realtors released today.” Miami’s condo market is on the rise.  “In the Miami area, Brazilians bought 9 percent of homes and apartments sold to international buyers in the 12 months through March 2010, behind only Canadians and Venezuelans, according to the Miami Association of Realtors.

In May, international clients bought about 60 percent of existing houses and condos and 90 percent of newly built homes, the association reported today. As many as half of the downtown Miami condos that have been sold to foreigners for more than $500,000 since January were purchased by Brazilians” Downtown Miami Condos is one of the favorites among the investors and buyer from Brazil and South America. “The fastest economic growth in two decades last year and accelerating inflation made Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia more expensive than any U.S. city, according to a survey by ECA International, a London-based human-resources company.”
