What are Miami’s Best New Condos for Sale in 2023?

Although the below blog is still accurate and reflects our opinion on the best condos in Miami, we recently wrote a brand new article on our top 10 Miami condos of 2022.  The below mentioned condos still belong to Miami’s top condos! In case your favorite Miami condo is not included in our new list please give us a call.

What are Miami’s Best New Condos for Sale in 2020?

The below is an updated list of the best new Miami condos for sale in 2020!  Remember it is the unit by unit analysis that matters and although we may be general advocates of a building, it does not mean we like all the units. We understand all the different lines, so it is important to recognize the good units (corners units and those with water views) from the less desired units (‘back facing’ units, low floor units or units with a bad floor plan).

Call me for more info. We also have off-market product to discuss if you are a buyer!

The 10 Best Miami Condos for Sale in 2020

So by neighborhood and in no particular order this is our list:

Oceana in Key Biscayne

Oceana offers 141 units ranging from 2 to 5 bedrooms. The oceanfront condo built in 2015 is just steps away from a private beach and offers 5 star amenities. Oceana condos range between $2.7M and $22M+. Why did this condo make our list? Because the location is prime, the amenities are top-notch and the architecture is outstanding. The best lines to purchase would be the 01 line in both the north and the south tower. These are large corner units with great views over the bay.

321 Ocean South of Fifth

321 Ocean is an extreme boutique condo with only 21 residences in a prime location. This is a perfect condo for those who want to be low-key and value their privacy. The building might be classified as a primary residence, which is rather unusual for the Miami Beach market in which most properties are investments or used as a second or third residence. This is the only brand new condo in South of Fifth that is right on the sand (literally a few feet). This project offers two towers, one is located on ocean drive with views of the street and one is located right on the beach with spectacular waterviews. The best lines would be the 2-story Beach Villas (200 or 201) or the Penthouse.  Units at 321 Ocean range between $5.5M and $26M. The PH which sold for $26M, reached the highest sales price per SF ever achieved in South of Fifth. 321 Ocean is one of the Best New Miami Condos for Sale in 2020.

Faena House Miami Beach

Faena House in Miami Beach is a 47 units counting ultra-luxury condo that is located in the desired “Faena District“. 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 today’s super-rich which match the modern-day Miami Beach lifestyle. The best lines (besides the Penthouses) are the A and the B lines (Floor 4-13), which are expansive units with superb waterviews. Units trade between $6.3 and $60M, which was paid for Penthouse B.

The Surf Club Four Seasons Residences in Surfside

This Four Seasons project has a hotel element as well as two new towers with in total 150 residential units. Prices at this project are ranging from $3.6m to $21M (asking prices) while this year units traded between $6M and $9M.  At this project no two floor plans are the same and therefore it is hard to say which one is the best. 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 doesn’t have the hotel element.  The entire area of Surfside is becoming more desirable and of a primary nature with people who live in Surfside all year round.

Fendi Residences Surfside

The condo by the Chateau Group has the Fendi logo and branding. A great project with a genuine high feel of quality. This is not a temporary project, where the shine comes off after a few months.  The best line is the 01 line, which is a large corner unit (5,000 SF+). As you go up the building gets more narrow and therefore the floor plans change slightly. The 06 Line is also a good line to consider which is the corner unit at the other side of the building. Prices at this condo range between $5M and $30M.

Luxury Condos Miami | Which Luxury Condos to Focus on

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. This is the only building on the Beach that offers waterviews (The ocean in the east and the intracoastal in the west) as well as views at 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.  The 02 Line has sold quite fast as many buyers in the building have combined units including 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 $2.5M for smaller units and is expected to be delivered by the end of 2019.

Park Grove in Coconut Grove

Park Grove is a brand new project located on 6 acres. The best and most luxurious tower is tower 1, which sits in front of the other towers. One Park Grove offers 4 units per floor which range from 2,235 SF to 3,600 SF (The A-Line). Many buyers are combining these units to get expansive sky mansions. One Park Grove is low-density and offers unobstructed bay views. Also important to mention is that Coconut Grove is a primary market with most residents living there all year round and the market doesn’t have many luxury condos. The amenities at this condo are really outstanding and low density allowing for resort-style living. I have dealt with this condo extensively over the years and know all the details.

Oceana Bal Harbour

A mirror of its namesake Key Biscayne condo. The two towers offer 141 units and prices range between $2.7M and $22M. Bal Harbour is on the beach and mostly known for the Bal Harbour Shops. A great place to live. The best lines here are the 01 lines in the South and the North Tower; both are large corner residences.

The Ritz Carlton Residences in Sunny Isles Beach

The Ritz Carlton is a brand new project with 52 stories. Compared to others condos in this list, this tower is a bit more high-density with 212 flow-through units. The building, which is slated to open in the fall of 2019, is peanut-shaped and all glass. The top floor penthouses all offers extremely large terraces. These units are mostly sold out, although there are still some possibilities. Give us a call and we can see what is still available. Corner units A and E offer respectively 3,080 and 3,600 Sf with ocean and city views, and are therefore our preferred units.

Palazzo Del Sol on Fisher Island

Fisher Island is a private island and one of the most expensive zip codes in the country. The island is only accessible via ferry, boat or helicopter; ideal for buyers who want to be secluded and enjoy their privacy.  With only 43 residences ranging between 3600 SF and 7600 SF (3 to 7 bedrooms) this project is extremely boutique.  Without a doubt a very well finished project by architect Kobi Karb, arguably the best in Miami according to many realtors and buyers. The best units are those directly facing the water which are units C East, C West and Unit E. The first two offers 4,956 Sf while unit E offers no less than 9,826 SF.

These are the Best New Miami Condos for Sale in 2020. If these prices are too rich for your blood, I can outline cheaper projects that make a good second tier alternative.

FAQ

These are the most commonly Miami Real Estate Related questions

What should relocation buyers know before buying real estate in Miami?

HOME BUYERS

Relocation buyers looking at homes in Miami should understand that choosing the right house is less about the property itself and more about location, schools, and long-term value. Many buyers make the mistake of focusing on price or finishes, while the real driver of value is the neighborhood and micro-location. Older homes often represent better value, but may also be part of a future redevelopment cycle. Newer homes command premiums, but don’t always sell faster if pricing is ahead of the market. Commute time, school access, and community dynamics are critical and often underestimated. The key is to evaluate homes not just as lifestyle purchases, but as long-term assets within a very localized market.

CONDO BUYERS:
Relocation buyers should understand that Miami is a highly segmented, building-driven market, not a uniform one. Pricing can vary significantly between similar properties depending on building quality, layout, and financial health. Many buyers assume newer construction equals better investment, but that is often not the case. Factors like HOA fees, reserves, and rental policies can materially impact long-term value and liquidity. Negotiation opportunities often exist, especially in slower segments, but require precise market knowledge. The key is to evaluate micro-markets and individual buildings, not just neighborhoods or price per square foot.

What are the best areas for relocating families with children

For families relocating to Miami with young children, the most recommended neighborhoods are Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Pinecrest. Coral Gables offers the best balance of top schools, safety, and long-term value. Coconut Grove is ideal for younger families seeking walkability, greenery, and a lifestyle-driven environment. Pinecrest provides larger homes, excellent schools, and better value for space, making it ideal for growing families. The key driver across all three is access to strong schools and primary residential stability. Relocation decisions are less about new construction and more about long-term livability and resale strength.

Are new construction condos in Miami a good investment?

New construction condos in Miami can be a good investment—but only if you understand that not all buildings perform the same. According to the David Siddons Group, many buyers assume “new = better,” but in reality, performance depends on pricing, layout, building quality, and long-term demand.  Some new developments set future price benchmarks and can drive long-term appreciation, especially in top-tier projects.  However, many are priced aggressively at launch, and buyers relying on marketing instead of data often overpay.
The market is highly segmented, meaning two new buildings next to each other can perform very differently.
The best opportunities typically come from selecting the right building early or negotiating correctly in later phases.
In short: new construction is not automatically a good investment—it becomes one only with building-level analysis and disciplined entry pricing.

Why is buying a Miami condo riskier than buyers think?

Buying a Miami condo is often riskier than buyers expect because the true risks are at the building level—not visible in the listing price. Many buyers focus on finishes and views, while overlooking HOA reserves, insurance exposure, and potential special assessments. In reality, two identical units in different buildings can perform completely differently over time. Rising HOA fees and stricter regulations are also increasing the true cost of ownership, especially in older buildings. Liquidity can be affected by factors like financial health, rental policies, and ongoing repairs. The key risk is not the condo itself—but buying into the wrong building without proper due diligence.

What are Miami's Safest Areas?

The safest areas in Miami are typically Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, Key Biscayne, and Ponce-Davis. These neighborhoods stand out due to low density, strong community presence, and high concentration of full-time residents, which directly impacts safety. In Miami, safety is highly localized, meaning micro-location and specific streets matter more than zip codes. Areas with top schools and family-driven demand tend to maintain stronger safety profiles over time. Gated communities and low-traffic residential streets further enhance security. Ultimately, the safest areas are defined less by price and more by stability, schools, and residential character.

Which Miami Areas Still offer Great Value (Budget Friendly alternatives to Coral Gables and Pinecrest)

If you’re looking for better value than Coral Gables or Pinecrest, the answer (in true Siddons style) is not “go cheaper”—it’s go one layer outside the obvious markets.

The strongest value plays are:

  • Schenley Park → closest substitute to Coral Gables at ~20% discount while maintaining similar character and location
  • Biltmore Heights → almost identical feel to the Gables but ~25–30% cheaper on a $/SF basis
  • Glenvar Heights → central location with larger lots and ~25% pricing advantage vs South Miami/Gables
  • Baptist / Galloway (Kendall) → Pinecrest-style living (space, schools, land) at up to ~30% lower pricing

The pattern is consistent:
👉 Buyers are shifting west and slightly off-market to gain land, scale, and pricing efficiency. You don’t find value by going to a “cheaper neighborhood”—you find it by identifying adjacent micro-markets that offer the same lifestyle fundamentals without the brand premium.

Is NOW a good time to buy in Miami?

In 2026, the answer is yes—but only if you understand what part of the market you’re buying into. Miami is no longer one market; it has split into multiple segments behaving very differently. From a David Siddons perspective, this is a selective buyer’s window, not a broad “good time” headline. Some segments—especially condos with rising inventory—are offering negotiation opportunities and better entry points. 

At the same time, prime single-family homes and top-tier new construction continue to hold value or even trade near record levels.

Buyers who rely on timing the market often miss the point—success in Miami today comes from selecting the right micro-market and asset, not waiting for a crash.  If you are disciplined on pricing, building quality, and location, this market offers opportunity. If you are not, it is easy to overpay. 2026 is a good time to buy in Miami for informed buyers—because the market is fragmented, negotiation exists, and strategy matters more than ever.

Are Miami real estate prices going down in 2026?

No—but that’s the wrong way to look at it. Miami is not one market anymore, so prices are not moving in one direction. In 2026, the market is split into two: ultra-luxury, scarcity-driven areas (like waterfront and top-tier neighborhoods) are still holding or even rising, while mid-tier condos and oversupplied segments are flat or correcting. What we’re seeing is price divergence, not a crash—some properties are gaining value while others are quietly adjusting downward. Rising inventory and more selective buyers are putting pressure on pricing in certain segments, especially older condos or buildings with weaker fundamentals.
At the same time, global wealth and cash buyers continue to support pricing at the top end of the market. So the real answer: prices aren’t broadly dropping—they’re being repriced based on quality, location, and supply.

Miami Real Estate Market Report Q1 2026

Should I buy a house or a condo when relocating to Miami?

The decision comes down to lifestyle first, investment second—and most relocation buyers get that backwards. If you want space, privacy, schools, and long-term family living, a single-family home in areas like Coral Gables or Coconut Grove is typically the stronger choice. If you prioritize walkability, low maintenance, and proximity to business districts, a condo in Brickell or waterfront markets makes more sense.
From an investment perspective, homes tend to be more stable, while condos are more building-dependent and cyclical. Most relocation clients underestimate how much building quality, HOA structure, and future costs impact condo performance. The right answer isn’t “house vs condo”—it’s which asset fits your lifestyle AND holds value within its micro-market.

 

 How do I choose the right Miami neighborhood for my lifestyle?

Choosing the right neighborhood in Miami comes down to how you live day-to-day, not just where prices are. Relocation buyers should first define priorities: walkability, schools, commute, or waterfront lifestyle.
For example, Coconut Grove fits walkable, family-oriented living, while Brickell suits urban, high-rise lifestyles. Buyers often make the mistake of focusing on price per square foot instead of lifestyle fit and long-term livability. Each neighborhood operates like its own micro-market, so the “best” area depends on your daily routine and long-term goals. The key is to align lifestyle, location, and market fundamentals, not just aesthetics or newness.

Why are Miami condo prices so different between buildings?

Miami condo pricing varies widely because value is determined at the building level, not just by location. Two buildings next to each other can have major differences in financial health, reserves, HOA fees, and management quality. Buyers also pay premiums for better layouts, views, amenities, and newer construction—but not all “new” buildings perform equally. Factors like rental policies, upcoming assessments, and building reputation can significantly impact resale value. This is why price per square foot alone is misleading in Miami’s condo market. The real driver of value is how that specific building competes within its micro-market over time.
