St.Regis Bal Harbour

The luxury Miami condo market

has certainly seen new and good changes in the last year. This is most evident in the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort & Residences, where millions of dollars traded hands when buyers purchased almost 200 condos in one year. In 2012 alone, when the real estate upswing began to take place in Florida, a total of $709 million was spent by those who purchased condos in this area alone.

By looking at a breakdown of the statistics, it is easy to see the positive aspects of the real estate upswing.

• 475,000 square feet of condo space was purchased.
• The average price paid for these condos was $1,480 per square foot.
• Some properties sold in individual transactions at up to $2,625 per square foot.
• Most units were sold between 1.4 and 13.5 million dollars.

What does this say for the real estate market in South Florida? It shows that condos are in higher demand and people are willing to pay higher prices to get premium properties. It wasn’t too long ago when this was simply not an option.

The average selling price now days is about 98% of the asking price. Currently more than a dozen new towers are proposed by national and international developers. That would add more than 1,000 new units to the Bal Harbour area. This will help to defray the growing demand for real estate in South Florida.

St. Regis Bal Harbour Condo

comprises of three different towers as a part of the St. Regis Bal Harbour community. This includes more than 200 different condo residences. The resort also offers such amenities as:

• Four swimming pools
• A spa
• A selection of restaurants
• Private beaches
• A selection of habour shops
• A variety of different homes, including condo-hotel units, condominiums and a full service hotel.

More than $700 million changed hands in 2012, and real estate experts suggest that the numbers will go up in the coming year. This means that more developers will look to build in the area. Additionally, the price to rent or purchase condos will continue to go up as well. For the South Florida area, this is definitely good news, since this area has always been considered as one of the most exclusive places to live. Most experts are indicating that now is the best time to invest in Bal Harbour real estate.

Bal Harbour real estate

which is located in the northern portion of Miami Dade County, has experienced a recent economic and housing boom. An increasing number of home buyers are seeking out property in this area, because, while quite beautiful, it is removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. However, if current trends continue in this manner, this may not be the case for long. In 2012, the community passed the $758 million mark in home and condo sales.

As a result of this boom, a number of new housing projects are being proposed for Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, and the surrounding communities. There are currently 10 new proposed condo developments in the works. If all are completed, these projects would bring 500 new units to the Bal Harbour community. These proposed developments are already producing an effect on existing housing prices in Bal Harbour.

What is the driving force behind Bal Harbour’s popularity? According to reports released by the Miami Dade County Property Appraiser’s office, median home prices in Bal Harbour have risen 35% over the same time last year. In addition to home buyers’ preference for the community, sales here are also being driven by the recent development of St. Regis Bal Harbour. Officially opened in January of 2012, by August, St. Regis had already passed the $658 million mark in sales. One of the highlights of these sales was the $24.6 million purchase of 5 units that a foreign investor made.

Since the condos at St. Regis

have been completed, new shops and restaurants have also opened up in the vicinity, which has further made this community much more desirable. At the average closing, home buyers have been paying between $1,200 and $1,500 per square foot of space. In the last several months, several high profile expensive developments have been proposed for Bal Harbour. While approval for these proposed projects is still pending, it has become quite clear that this community is the new, hot commodity.

The housing boom has also driven economic growth in the community. In addition to the aforementioned new shops and restaurants, the Bal Harbour Club recently sold for a total sum of $225 million. Ryan Shear, who is the managing director of Property Markets Group, has attributed the new, sudden desirability of Bal Harbour to two primary factors:

One is the lack of supply — obviously there’s only so much oceanfront in South Florida, and the other factor has been the South American buyers — these aren’t New Yorkers or Americans — in all these buildings.”

Bal Harbour Realtors

will certainly be watching the new developments in Bal Harbour with an eager eye. Already, home prices in Surfside, a barrier island just north of Bal Harbour, have begun to rise as new buyers seek out homes. In 2011, growth in Bal Harbour condos was stagnant, but its fortunes appear to be on the upswing now, and it will be with baited breath that others await to see just how far the community rises.

These magnificent hi-rises were built in the 21st century and reflect the progress and architectural achievements of modern times. These are not at all like the traditional boxy buildings that were built in the 60′s and the 70′s in Miami Beach with long corridors and endless doors on the right and the left. In fact, modern day condos are very similar to single family homes, but offer so much more, like the ocean location, ocean views, top amenities which include numerous facilities like gym, spa, tennis courts, and much more.

Among the luxury condos in Bal Harbour Florida

One Bal Harbour is well known as one of the most luxurious. This towering condominium property has condominiums that range in price from the mid six figures to well into the millions of dollars. For properties in Florida’s luxury market, the sun is starting to shine again. Developers have picked up properties at condominium developments throughout the area and individual buyers are interested in moving in. For owners, this is a good time to consider engaging a real estate agent to list your property, if you’ve been thinking about selling.

As of the last quarter in 2010, there were 42 units for sale at One Bal Harbour Condo. There are several different unit styles at this property, ranging from 2 bed and bath condos to three bed and bath units. The highest price being asked during that quarter was $2.69 million, with a square-foot price of $1,018. While this is above the average for price per square foot in Sunny Isles Beach, that average figure has also been steadily climbing in the past several months. Some of this is due to investor interest. Property developers have been snatching up listings at these properties as the market improves, making available condominium properties scarcer and scarcer.

Part of Bal Harbour One’s appeal

is that it is such an upscale development. Even among the other luxury condominium prices in Bal Harbour, the price is higher than average. In 2010, most luxury condominium properties averaged approximately $511 per square foot of space. At Bal Harbour One condo, residents are asking over $600 on the average, a testament to the level of luxury at this development. Many of the properties were commanding prices well in excess of $1,000 per square foot.

Other statistics show that property owners were averaging over 90% of their asking price per square foot in 2010. For those who are considering listing a luxury condominium on the market, this is obviously a great incentive. Properties such as Bal Harbour One, because they cater to the very affluent, are also not as sensitive to the market in terms of price and demand. The upscale market continues to thrive. There are also unique features of Bal Harbour real estate that make these properties even easier to move.

While southern Florida is a favorite retirement and vacation destination for Americans, it’s also popular with people all over the world. Sunny Isles Beach is renowned for its many residents who hail from other nations, and this means that the real estate market always has an advantage over the general residential market. Luxury buyers are more willing to invest a lot in a property and, with the sort of amenities that are offered at Bal Harbour One, the sell is usually not so difficult for an experienced realtor. The proximity of Collins Avenue, one of the most fashionable streets in the most fashionable part of the Miami-Dade area, is also a huge selling point. There are plenty of places to shop and dine in style in this area.

Miami Beach real estate and Bal Harbour real estate

both been recovering from the aftershocks of 2008. While there were a large number of properties on the market following the crash, this is no longer the case. Even at competing properties, such as nearby Jade Ocean, Jade Beach and others, there are few condominiums on the market. This is, of course, partially due to the amount that have been bought up by property investors. For those considering listing, this all means only one thing: there is interest out there, provided you can reach out to those interested parties.

Over the past couple of years, the median price for One Bal Harbour condominium properties has fallen. This is until the last quarter of 2010, when they started to move upward again. With fewer on the market and more demand, it doesn’t take a sophisticated knowledge of economics to understand the likely performance of prices in the near future. With average prices per square foot on the rise and more interest in buying properties in southern Florida among the luxury demographic, it’s shaping up to be a seller’s market once again.

Selling luxury properties such as those at Bal Harbour takes real skill and experience. If you’re listing, be sure to hire a realtor with experience in this area. The luxury market operates differently than does the regular market. Because of the population of Sunny Isles Beach and the worldwide popularity of the area, it’s also important to deal with a realtor who can get your property in front of the eyes of people around the world. As the market heats up once again and money starts flowing, having a good realtor in your corner is imperative.

St Regis Bal Harbour

started it’s construction in March 2008. Now, 24 months and over 133,000 cubic yards of poured concrete later, South Florida’s most fashionable new oceanfront address has started the official topping off of all three towers as another major milestone in the development of what some estimate to be the largest residential-resort destination currently under construction in the United States.

The completion of vertical construction is an important achievement for every development, and for a project of this scale, it is especially meaningful. I am also pleased to share that we have commissioned renowned Miami artist Carlos Betancourt to create an original work of art in honor of this magnificent milestone.

In the midst of the excitement over the completion of vertical construction at this stunning seaside landmark, progress continues at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort. Windows and sliding glass doors have been installed in the hotel and St Regis North Residential towers, with installation currently underway in the South tower. Hot water heaters are also in place in the hotel and North Residential tower, and rail installation for the elevators is underway. We have also been working with future condominium Residents on selecting finishes for their homes, and with that process now complete, we have started placing orders for cabinetry, countertops, appliances and other enhancements.

There are few condos for sale left at St. Regis Bal Harbour condo. If you’re on the market to buy one of the most luxurious properties in US, please look into St Regis Bal Harbour Hotel.
