Miami Pre-Construction, Neighborhood by NeighborhoodPre-Construcción en Miami, Barrio por Barrio

Every week someone asks me the same question: “Where should I buy pre-construction in Miami?” And every week I give the same answer: the neighborhood decides almost everything. It decides your price per square foot, your rental rules, your view, your walk to dinner, and how your investment behaves five years from now. The tower matters. The block matters more.

So instead of another top-ten list, this is the whole board: more than 60 active pre-construction projects across 15 neighborhoods, organized the way buyers actually shop. Each project below links to its full page with prices, floor plans and current availability. If you want the mechanics of buying on paper first (deposits, escrow, timelines, the classic mistakes), read The Pre-Construction Playbook, then come back to the map.

Brickell: the deepest pipeline in Miami

Brickell is Miami’s financial district and its most liquid condo market, and in 2026 it is carrying the city’s most ambitious slate of towers. The range here is remarkable: the same neighborhood offers $500K furnished flats and $20M penthouses two blocks apart.

Downtown & Miami Worldcenter: the supertall district

Downtown Miami is where the skyline is being rewritten at the largest scale, anchored by the $6B Miami Worldcenter master plan.

• Waldorf Astoria Residences: 100 stories and 1,049 feet, designed by Carlos Ott, set to be among the tallest residential towers in the country.

• Palm Tree Residences: the first residential project from Palm Tree Crew (Kygo and Myles Shear), 483 furnished residences.

Edgewater: the fastest-selling bayfront

Edgewater is the neighborhood I wrote a full deep-dive about: true bayfront, walkable, and the fastest-moving luxury condo market in greater Downtown.

• Villa Miami: Major Food Group’s first residences, 55 stories with a copper exoskeleton and kitchens by Chef Mario Carbone.
• EDITION Residences: 55 stories and 185 residences managed by EDITION Hotels (Ian Schrager with Marriott).

• Faena Residences: twin 60-story towers by Rafael Viñoly on the Miami River, 434 residences from $1.3M, the anchor of the new Faena District Miami River, delivering 2028.

Wynwood, Midtown & the Design District: the creative corridor

Miami’s art-and-fashion spine is finally getting residences to match its restaurants. Wynwood skews furnished and rental-flexible; Midtown and the Design District skew lifestyle-branded.

• Frida Kahlo Wynwood Residences: 244 residences across two sculptural towers, the first residential project bearing the artist’s name.

• Midtown Park by Proper: 288 residences by Arquitectonica with Meyer Davis interiors, part of a full city-block master plan, expected 2028.

Coconut Grove: boutique under the banyans

Coconut Grove does not build big; it builds few. Supply is deliberately scarce here, which is exactly why it holds value (I covered the numbers in the Grove guide).

• Four Seasons Private Residences: 70 water-view residences over 20 stories, expected 2028.
• OPUS: 14 residences across six stories by Kobi Karp, expected 2027.
• The Well: wellness-branded residences where the spa is the point, not the amenity.
• The Lincoln: a green-certified boutique of 54 homes on a quiet Grove street.
• Ziggurat: 19 residences in a three-story sculpture by Oppenheim Architecture.

Miami Beach: scarcity on the sand

On Miami Beach the story is simple: there is almost no land left, so every new project is an event.

• Shore Club Private Collection: Auberge-run residences reborn at one of South Beach’s most storied oceanfront addresses, completion 2027.
• The Perigon: 73 residences in Mid-Beach by OMA, delivering 2026.

Surfside & Bal Harbour: the quiet ultra-prime

Surfside and Bal Harbour are where the biggest numbers in this guide live, on the smallest buildings.

• The Delmore: 37 mansions in the sky by Zaha Hadid Architects on the Surfside oceanfront.
• Rivage: 56 residences by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the first new Bal Harbour oceanfront tower in over a decade, expected 2027.

Bay Harbor Islands: Miami’s best-kept boutique market

Bay Harbor Islands sits five minutes from Bal Harbour Shops at a fraction of the price per foot, and its pipeline is entirely boutique.

• La Maré Signature Collection: just 9 waterfront residences of 2,200 to 4,300 square feet.
• La Maré Regency Collection: the sister building, 33 residences with private boat slips.
• Alma & Mila: twin nine-residence boutiques by Kobi Karp.

Sunny Isles Beach: the branded oceanfront

Sunny Isles invented the branded-residence arms race, and the two projects rising now are its most extreme expressions.

• Bentley Residences: 63 oceanfront floors where every residence includes a private in-unit garage reached by car elevator.
• The St. Regis Residences: 62 oceanfront floors on 435 feet of beach, by Arquitectonica for Fortune and Château Group.

North Bay Village: the next Edgewater

North Bay Village is a three-island town in the middle of Biscayne Bay that developers quietly claimed while everyone watched the mainland. I profiled its transformation here.

• Pagani Residences: the first Pagani-branded residences in the world, 70 corner residences over the bay.
• Continuum Club & Residences: the follow-up to Continuum South Beach, 198 residences by Arquitectonica.
• Tula: 54 corner-only residences, four per floor, with wraparound terraces.

Fisher Island & Fort Lauderdale: the edges of the map

• Six Fisher Island: 50 residences on one of the last parcels of America’s wealthiest zip code, reached only by ferry, expected 2027. More on the island here.
• The St. Regis Residences, Bahia Mar: Related’s $2B waterfront community between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale.

How to choose: my honest framework

After walking clients through this pipeline daily, the decision usually reduces to four questions. First, use or income? If income, the rental rules decide the neighborhood before taste does: Wynwood, West Brickell and parts of Edgewater allow flexible or short-term rentals; the beach towns mostly do not. Second, finished or paper? A 2026 delivery (Cipriani, Okan, The Perigon, Ella, Domus Park, JEM) means you close in months, not years; a 2028 or 2029 delivery buys you time to stage deposits. Third, scale or scarcity? A 791-residence tower and a 9-residence boutique are different assets with different resale dynamics. Fourth, brand or building? A powerful brand protects value, but only when the developer and architect underneath it are equally strong.

The deposit mechanics, escrow protections and developer-vetting checklist are all in the Playbook, and the macro picture (why this cycle is different from 2007) is in Miami’s Pre-Construction Boom.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the deposit?

Most projects ask 20% at contract, 10% at groundbreaking and 10% at top-off, with the balance at closing. Florida law requires the first 10% to sit in escrow. Condo-hotel and furnished formats often run lighter schedules.

Can foreign nationals buy?

Yes, with no residency requirement, and staged deposits make pre-construction the most popular entry for international buyers. The full process is in my foreign-buyer guide.

When do prices rise?

In stages: launch, groundbreaking, top-off, delivery. The earliest allocations carry the best pricing and the best line selection, which is why pre-launch access is worth having.

If one of these neighborhoods kept your attention, that is usually the answer. Tell me which one and I will send you the current price sheets, the lines I would actually pick, and the ones I would avoid. The first conversation costs nothing.
