Two Stunning brand new homes – Same City, Same Architect. $33 MILLION price difference!

The two homes below are both built by Chad Oppenheim, one of the world’s most renown architects. Both homes are located near Miami, One in Bal Harbour and one in Weston. How come one is listed for $36M and one is listed for $2,8m

One house is in Bal Harbour, the chic oceanfront town just North of Miami Beach once known for its excellent shopping at the Bal Harbour Shops and pre-dominantly a condo market. One house is located in Botaniko Weston, a gated and brand new luxurious residential community in a new and upcoming Miami area that is ideal to raise a family. We must note that the house in Bal Harbour offers 13,500 SF of living area while this specific home in Botaniko Weston is just over 7,000 SF. Also the Bal Harbour home is waterfront which isn’t the case for the Botaniko Weston homes.

Now the Bal Harbour home by the exact same architect is listed for $2,667 per SF while the Botaniko Weston homes are listed around $500 per SF. That is 5 times the price!!
