Making a Move to Miami? | The Best Miami Beach Condos For Sale in 2019

What are The Best Miami Beach Condos For Sale in 2019?

Many high-net-worth individuals are leaving the high-tax states behind them and make a move to Miami. As we have dealt with many relocating families we have grown to understand that condos are equally desired as single family homes. Many of those who come and settle in Miami, are global nomads with a mobile and international lifestyle. For this demographic condos are a great option as you can lock them up and leave without worrying. Many individuals who move from NYC to Miami also prefer a condo over a single family home.

Therefore we have selected 10 condos on the beach (Miami Beach, Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles Beach), that are perfect for those who appreciate spacious floor plans, ocean views, 5 star services, and privacy.  All of these condos are located on oceanfront parcels and are listed in no specific order.

Eighty Seven Park, Miami Beach

87 Park is located in Miami Beach, just meters away from Surfside in a less touristic and more private part of Miami Beach. This condo by architect Renzo Piano offers only 17 floors and to the south of the building there is a large park. The 70 units range from 1 to 5+ bedrooms and from 1,000 SF to 4,140 SF+ of interior space.  Generous wrap-around terraces (Almost all the terraces are 60% to 90% the size of the interior space) create a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor spaces. This is the only building on the Beach that offers water views (The ocean in the east and the intracoastal in the west) as well as views over a park. The location of the park is providing this condo with a 270 degree panoramic view avoiding side views into other buildings. The 02 line is the best line in the building, although this is completely sold out at the moment (Many buyers in the building have bought combined units and included this line). As with most of Miami’s prime buildings, Eighty Seven Park offers a high level of finishes, including high quality kitchens and flooring (the units come finished), 10 ft ceilings and extremely large terraces. The building starts selling at $2.15M for smaller 1 bedroom units and is expected to be delivered by the end of 2019.
Saving the best for last, the Eighty Seven Park penthouse is now listed for $68 Million.
