The 10 Best Miami Luxury Condos

The Best 10 Miami Luxury Condos for 2023 /2024 | Our Top Resale Choices

Introduction

Miami luxury condos are in every neighborhood across Miami. We have been fortunate enough to not only see them all but to have watched their performance over the years, analyzed and dissected their floor plans, and studied their condo docs and financials. There are dozens of Luxury Condos across Miami. Some retain their luxury status, while others suffer a severe fall from grace. We ask ‘What is the best? When I say we know these condos, I can tell you after 15 years of selling real estate and visiting these condos with hundreds of clients, we truly know them!

Overview

Below are my top 10 Miami Luxury Condos for sale for 2022 in an analytical table format, which should make for easier digestion of information. These are all newer resale condos. For all the condos, I have explanations in the sections below as to why I picked them. There is little benefit in just giving a list of buildings. I share my opinion, so you can trust a clear direction when looking for your next condo.

How we measure Luxury

My top 10 condos come from a combination of factors. Location is a factor, as is price. You will also notice how I detail the specific benefits of condos that will suit buyers with set needs. Deciding whether a Condo is the best is totally subjective. Best is also something ‘fit for purpose, so you may consider paying less attention to the ranking and more to whom the condo is best suited for because it is your needs that ultimately matter!

Availability and prices change

Finally, respect the specific availability and price at the time of buying. Certainly, you will not necessarily have imminent access to all units in the condo you fall in love with, and they may not all come in at budget. Fortunately, we do as much off-market business as we sell on-market. With our assistance, we can help you identify the right line and then chase down owners to see who will sell.

No.1 | Park Grove. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove DSG

Why buy Park Grove

The economic performance of this building is superb and has appreciated significantly. Park Grove’s location is also very relevant because Coconut Grove is Miami’s most organic neighborhood. Its primary nature has made it desirable and stable amongst empty nesters and families. The Grove lifestyle also is considered one of the best in Miami: understated chic, high-end but easy-going and unpretentious nor flashy, walkable, cozy, organic, and close to almost everything. Furthermore, it is within 15 minutes of Miami International Airport. If you want a neighborhood vibe where you can walk out to shops and restaurants while still being on the water, this is the condo for you.

What are the Park Grove features that we appreciate the most? Low density with just four units per floor, all with private elevators. The 12ft ceilings, excellent finishes, superb amenities and services, curved glass skeleton without concrete walls, open floor plans, and deep terraces all work very well to give a sense of luxury.

The Best Floor Plans

One Park Grove is the preferred tower cause of the views. A primary building where residents live all year round. Park Grove is a top choice if you want a home in the sky while appreciating the condo’s amenities. The best line in One Park Grove is the ‘A-line because it is the largest unit at 3250 interior sqft, the SE exposure and the possible combination with adjacent B lines units can make it one large residence in the sky.

Most owners are settled and do not want to sell, not even for top dollar. For this reason, the supply at Park Grove is limited. Buyers need to go off-market to find their dream unit. Appreciation is enormous, 50%-100% increases in value have not been uncommon between 2019 and 2022. From the first graph, you cannot tell the appreciation in prices. Original developer prices do not get included in MLS Sales. 2020 only saw one sale. We sold a pre-construction condo to a buyer who will now sell it for 100% more than he paid for it.

Other Options

Although unit values increased, Coconut Grove is still not as expensive as other areas, like Miami-Beach. If your focus is a primary residence is primary and walkable, then Park Grove is for you. The second option for this would be Grove at Grand Bay. If you can secure a unit at VITA Coconut Grove and are willing to wait until 2025, this brand-new luxury condo is an excellent choice.

No.2 | Eighty Seven Park. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Miami Beach.

Miami’s Best Luxury Condos for 2022. Opinion and Statistical Analysis. DSG

Why buy 87 Park

We love Eighty-Seven Park because of its unique location and views. Located on the border of Surfside and Miami Beach and is one of the beaches’ most tranquil places. Surfside furthermore is now home to many high-end condos like Arte, which would be our runner-up to Eighty-Seven Park. 87 Park offers the best views (in my opinion) and an extremely high-end and well-finished condo. The floor plans are well designed, particularly the 02 line. The south side of the tower overlooks the ocean and a park, a unique view that is hard to replicate anywhere in Miami.

Favorite Floor Plan

Like Park Grove, this condo has a limited supply and a very high demand. Looking for a primary or secondary residence in a more tranquil part of the beaches, without the tourists, this is the condo for you. Our favorite floor plan is the 02 line, which, combined with the adjacent unit makes something special. The runner-up would be the NE-facing corner unit. The terraces at Eighty-Seven Park are large and deep. Furthermore, this condo offers private elevators and unmatched levels of service.

Negatives and other Options

What do we not like? It is not the most walkable part of town and not within walkable distance to restaurants or shops, but one that scores high on privacy, exclusivity, and services. So, if this is a deal killer consider the Fendi Condo.

No.3 | Continuum. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for South Beach

Miami’s Best Luxury Condos for 2022. Opinion and Statistical Analysis. DSG

Why buy Continuum

Continuum on South Beach is a one-of-a-kind condo as it sits on a 13-acre beachfront parcel and offers that true resort-style lifestyle. With a private beach, access to beach service, tennis courts, and a gym that can compete with any other Miami Beach gym to a resort-style pool. I would not forget about the private restaurant and bar, all located on the premises.

Location

Continuum is located in the South of Fifth and is within walkable distance of some of the most desired restaurants; Milos, Smith and Wollensky, Prime 112, and Carbone. Another advantage is that you are close to the bridge to Miami proper. This very well-managed condo offers a variety of floor plans, from small one-bedroom units to expansive 4-bedroom units. Some are remodeled, and some might still have some original elements. 

Negatives

Negatives? Not a low-density project but with excellent levels of service. Semi-Private elevators are only available in the North Tower and certain lines within the South Tower. The building does see (seasonal) rent, and most units owner occupied by primary residents. The condo is historically desirable and has performed well since it opened in 2002 and 2008. Our preferred tower is the south tower because of the views.

Alternatives

Continuum on South Beach is your condo if you want direct access to the sand, with a private gated entrance that takes you from the pool area to the beach. Enjoy a resort-style lifestyle and be close to some of the best restaurants. If you want a more boutique experience, then consider Apogee. This waterfront condo offers fewer units per floor but does not sit on the sand. You may also want to look at Murano Portofino.

No.4 | Oceana. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Bal Harbour

Investors Guide to Bal Harbour Real Estate - Q1 2015 Update DSG

Why buy Oceana Bal Harbour

Oceana Bal Harbour is a Condo with a high level of amenities and service, located on the sand of Bal Harbour. It is a well-done condo on a less busy part of the beach, great for a primary residence or summer home. This condo offers a resort-style lifestyle.

Best Floor Plans

The condo offers some superb floor plans, which are flow-through and corners. The 01 lines are the larger corner unit, located on the southeast and northeast side of the building. Once again, a residence is used as a primary or secondary home. Besides the ocean views, the west-facing units with views over the intra-coastal waters offer some of the best west-facing views in all of Miami.

Location

This condo is very well-finished and offers some customized units. Located in Bal Harbour, a more organic neighborhood feel to Sunny Isles to the North. Also, just a 5 mins walk to the Bal Harbour Shops, known for its high-end designer retail and good restaurants. Oceana is not your typical Miami Beach vibe and is far less touristic, but close enough to Miami Beach in just fifteen minutes. The address is: 10201 and 10203 Collins Ave.

Alternatives

There is only one alternative for those who want a luxury Condo and wish to live in Bal Harbor. That is St Regis.

No.5 | Oceana. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Key Biscayne

Why buy Oceana Key Biscayne

A superb condo with a high level of amenities. One that residents feel like they are on vacation in a 5-star resort. This condo is excellent if you are looking for a primary or secondary home on the sand on an island known for its country club lifestyle. Want a laid-back atmosphere amongst an affluent, family-orientated demographic? Oceana Key Biscayne is the ideal building. The island is very safe and child friendly, just a bridge away from offices in Brickell and close enough to the Gables.

Oceana Key Biscayne provides a resort lifestyle with arguably the best pool deck, a superb onsite restaurant, and private beach access that rivals any other Condo in Miami-Dade.

Best Floor Plan

Known for its excellent and spacious floor plans, the best units much like Oceana Bal Harbour, are the flow-through corner (01 lines) units. These are large 3,700 SF corner residences offering 4 bedrooms as presented in the video featured above.

Location and Alternatives

Really a picture-perfect Condo located on the sands of Key Biscayne at 350 and 360 Ocean Drive, Key Biscayne. If the quiet beach life and the laid-back vibe are what you want, then this is for you. If you love the building and floor plans but want something more lively? Then consider its sister Condo, the Oceana Bal Harbour.

No.6 | Elysee. The Best Miami Luxury Condo in Edgewater

The 5 Reasons Why Elysee Miami is the Best Edgewater Condo for Sale.

This low-density Edgewater condo offers only two units per floor and is a very private condo with high levels of services and finishes. Ideal for those that want a large property with a private elevator entrance in the urban core. The Edgewater and Downtown Miami area does (for the moment) not offer that many ultra-luxury condos, but if you are looking for one, then this is your best bet. Another option would be One Thousand Museum in Downtown Miami or the Four Seasons in Brickell.

No.7 | Palazzo della Luna. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Fisher Island

The Best Miami Luxury Condos for 2022 | Opinions and Statistical Analysis. DSG

Palazzo Della Luna is one of our preferred Miami condos. On the exclusive Fisher Island, which is only accessible via ferry, boat, or helicopter. Palazzo Della Luba is a high-end, well-finished luxury condo that serves very well for those looking for an extremely private and exclusive condo on an island. Floor plans are large, although this island used to cater to second and third homeowners since the pandemic. More and more people are living on the island all year round.

No.8 | The Surf Club Four Seasons Residences. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Surfside

The Best Miami Luxury Condos for 2022 | Opinions and Statistical Analysis. DSG

The Surf Club, which sits on 9 acres of land with 965 feet of oceanfront, has a hotel element and two residential towers. In total, it has 150 luxurious units. World-famous, Pritzker-Prize-winning architect Richard Meier designed the Surf Club residences, which range from 1,400 SF to 8,000 SF. The well-finished units are flow-through, with water and city views, and include private elevators. No two-floor plans are the same, although this is a case-by-case scenario. The North Tower is the best tower to focus on as it is more secluded and private and does not have a hotel element. One of the most spectacular floor plans is the 21 Line. These are five bedrooms, 5,822 SF Corner residences facing the northeast.

No.9 | Faena House. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Miami Beach

The Best Miami Luxury Condos for 2022 | Opinions and Statistical Analysis. DSG

Faena House in Miami Beach is 47 units counting ultra-luxury condo offering units that range from 1,185 SF to 12,500 SF+. It has balconies that can be used like Brazilian verandas, connecting the various spaces in your condo. These deep wrap-around balconies (4′ to 37′ depth) feel like rooms and are interconnected, doubling as hallways.

Sometimes referred to as the ‘Billionaire Beach Bunker’, because of its attraction to Wall Street’s wealthiest, this already iconic condo offers a prime beachfront location, outstanding architecture, and all the amenities desired by the super-rich which match the modern-day Miami Beach lifestyle such as a pool, fitness center, spa, kids room and attended private residential Beach Club (with cabana service)

The best lines (besides the Penthouses) are the A and the B lines (Floor 4-13), which are expansive units with superb water views.

No.10 | Ritz Carlton Residences. The Best Miami Luxury Condo for Sunny Isles Beach

The Best Miami Luxury Condos for 2022 | Opinions and Statistical Analysis. DSG

When you find a building that no one wants to leave and most want to buy, you know you have to find a top choice. The Ritz is one of these. The Ritz Carlton Residences in Sunny Isles Beach is one of the newest condos offering 52 stories and 212 flow-through units. One of the few projects we would actively promote in Sunny Isles Beach since the Ritz Carlton residences offer well-finished units with spectacular views. The building is peanut-shaped and all glass. The top-floor penthouse offers terraces that are 99% larger than any other Condo found in Miami. Corner units A (01 Line) and E (05 Line) offer 3,080 and 3,600 SF with ocean and city views and are the preferred units. These units are respectively 3 and 4 bedrooms. Although the Ritz Carlton Residences in Sunny Isles brings its residents the legendary quality and personal touch synonymous with the brand, the residences do not offer a hotel component. There are simply no tourists on the premises. This condo is desirable, and the economic performance over the last few years has been exemplary.
