Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt, and Mark Zuckerberg are relative newcomers when it comes to doing business in Miami. The Adler family has been here for three generations — and each generation found a piece of this city before anyone else recognized its value. Three completely different bets on Miami. All of them early. […]
The skyline in Brickell looks like a forest of cranes. But the real money isn’t looking at the cranes — it’s looking at where the cranes aren’t. I spent time recently touring Miami’s new construction pipeline with a Polaroid camera — partly as a discipline. The Polaroid forces you to be selective. You can’t document […]
New Yorkers keep asking me the same question: “Is it still a good time to buy in Miami?” My answer is always the same — it depends on which Miami you’re talking about.

When people talk about “Billionaire’s Row,” they imagine a single address. In Miami, that model no longer applies. Miami’s new ultra-wealth corridor is a three-mile stretch — where the financial energy of Brickell meets the historic, green, and private world of Coconut Grove. This is where global capital is quietly clustering. Why This Corridor Matters What do Four Seasons, St. Regis, […]
You have the liquidity to buy a Malibu mansion or a Manhattan penthouse.Instead, you sign a 12-month lease. This isn’t hesitation.It’s strategy. The Rise of the Ultra-Wealthy Renter Since 2019, the number of millionaire renter households in the U.S. has tripled. In Miami, the change has been even more extreme. We’ve seen an 11x increase.

Google Trends just hit a 5-year peak for Miami real estate.But as a dual-licensed NY/FL broker, I’m seeing something the headlines are missing. This isn’t a frenzy.It’s a shakeout. 1.
