From new branded towers and record-breaking sales to zoning debates and major infrastructure filings, November underscored Miami’s dynamic balance between luxury ambition and local regulation. Here’s your curated look at seven key developments shaping the city’s real estate landscape this month.
1. Sam Nazarian, Marc Anthony’s HQ Hotels to Brand Miami Condo Tower
Hospitality mogul Sam Nazarian announced that HQ Hotels & Residences will brand and manage “HQ Residences Miami,” a 35-story, 229-unit condominium in Edgewater. Developed by Black Salmon, the Boschetti Group, and Constellation Group, the project targets Millennial and Hispanic buyers with units starting around $850K and will feature a yoga spa, penthouse club, and a restaurant and speakeasy by Sofia Vergara and Marc Anthony.
2. Continuum Completes $48.5M North Miami Buyout
The Eichner family’s Continuum Company finalized a $48.5 million buyout of the 46-unit Mariners Bay waterfront condo in North Miami, paving the way for a 22-story, 267-unit luxury tower. Sales are expected to launch early next year following the full project reveal.
3. Mandarin Oriental North Tower Sales Launch
Swire Properties has begun sales for the 70 ultra-luxury homes at The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami’s North Tower on Brickell Key. Following $1.2 billion in South Tower sales, the new tower—slated for completion by 2030—will offer 2–4 bedroom residences starting at $3.9 million, with hotel-level amenities and waterfront views.
4. Miami-Dade Posts Strongest Sales Month of 2025
Miami-Dade County recorded its strongest month of the year in September, with total home sales up 5% and dollar volume up 11% year-over-year. Single-family sales rose 7%, condos 2%, and luxury transactions ($1M+) surged 20%. Affordable condo sales ($250K and below) saw the sharpest increase at 30.3%, signaling robust demand across price points.
5. Palmetto Metrorail Tower Plans Filed
Developer Res-Des Palmetto LLC submitted plans for a 1,141-unit residential project at Miami-Dade’s Palmetto Metrorail Station. The proposed development includes a multi-level parking structure with 1,638 spaces for both residents and transit riders, as well as station upgrades on county-leased land—marking another step toward transit-oriented urban growth.
6. Edgewater Tower Faces Zoning Backlash
Miami New Times reports that “Edge House,” a proposed 57-story tower in Edgewater, is drawing criticism for using zoning loopholes to market its units as short-term rentals. Neighbors argue that by classifying the project as lodging, developers are skirting stricter condo regulations on parking and density, sparking community and zoning board scrutiny.
7. Brickell Condo Owners Win Court Battle Over Association Control
Miami-Dade Circuit Court ordered the 1060 Brickell condo association, led by Jacob Kassel, to hand over control and records to recalled unit owners. The ruling follows months of disputes over a $21 million special assessment and voting issues. The new board—Dorinda Spahr, Jermaine Jones, and Javier Noriega—will manage operations until the next election, marking a major victory for residents.
