Buyer-side advisory for Coral Gables new development
If you've spent years in a home here and you're ready for something that asks less of you, the hard part isn't choosing a building. It's everything the sales gallery won't walk you through: the real completion date, the developer fee buried in the contract, what's actually negotiable, how each building is really priced once you know what comes with it. I represent you, not the developer. Knowing the right questions to ask is most of my job.
No pressure, no rush. Maya replies personally.
The Gables has always had condos. The catch was that most of them were older buildings. If you wanted something new, with the amenities and finishes that actually feel like an upgrade, the options here were thin.
That part is finally changing. But much of what's going up is aimed at investors and short-term rentals, not the people who actually live here, and some of it sits just outside the part of the Gables that feels like the Gables.
So when a longtime resident tells me they're ready for something that asks less of them, the honest truth is that only a handful of the new developments genuinely fit. Knowing which ones, building by building, is most of my job.
The list is short, on purpose
New, true-Gables, built for the live-in resident rather than the investor. These are among the handful worth your time. I track each one as it moves, so the right fit depends on your timing, your block, and what "less house" means to you.
A boutique address in the heart of downtown Coral Gables, with generously sized residences for people leaving a larger Gables home, not investor studios. New construction, walkable, unmistakably the Gables.
Ask me where it stands today and whether it fits your timeline.
Low-rise, village-scale living near downtown. Built to live in, not to rent out.
Ask me where it stands today.
Mediterranean design in a walkable downtown setting. True-Gables character at a boutique, live-in scale.
Ask me where it stands today.
Boutique luxury townhomes, with more space and privacy than a condo, at a true-Gables, live-in scale. For someone who wants less house than they have now, but their own front door.
Ask me where it stands today.
There are a few others I watch closely, too. The honest shortlist shifts as buildings sell through, which is exactly the conversation worth having.
