In recent years, Miami has seen a dramatic shift towards the development of buildings that offer flexibility via short term rentals. Owners of these types of property are allowed to rent out their units free of rental restrictions. In comparison to 3 years ago, when none of these types of projects were underway, the number of flexible living units coming to market in Miami is now in excess of 4,000+ units. From turnkey, fully furnished residences that are purposely designed, built and licensed to be shared, to buildings with built in Airbnb platforms, these new projects are expertly targeting the new generation of homeowners and investors looking to cash in on South Florida’s booming real estate market and soaring rents. Below are a few of the newest projects tapping into the bourgeoning sharing economy.
The first ever Standard Residences in Midtown Miami is the area’s first true pied-a-terre building with studio, 1 and 2 bedroom units allowing rentals for as few as 30 days, offering flexibility but maintaining exclusivity. From the creators of the world-renowned Standard Hotels and pioneering developer Carlos Rosso, the 12-story building is designed by Arquitectonica and will rise at 3100 Northeast 1st Avenue in the heart of Midtown. The mixed-use project will feature 228 residences ranging from studios to two bedrooms, with interiors by Urban Robot Associates, thoughtfully designed social spaces and 34,000 square feet of amenities including a rooftop with a sunset pool and signature restaurant, a state-of-the-art sweat room and fitness center, an infrared sauna, a karaoke bar, co-working spaces, an indoor pickleball court, yoga and stretch studios, and a pet spa. The ground floor will have 10,000 square feet dedicated to retail uses. The Standard Midtown is set to break ground this year with completion expected by mid-2023,

Lofty Brickell was created for buyers seeking a modern way to own, live and monetize luxury real estate. The flagship property’s turn-key, fully furnished residences are purposely designed, built and licensed to be shared, with no rental restrictions. Being built by Newgard Development Group, the developer behind the highly successful Natiivo, another short-term rental development of 51 stories underway in Downtown Miami which sold out before construction even began, Lofty Brickell will rise 42 stories at 99 Southwest 7th Street, which sits directly on the south side of the Miami River. The building is designed by Arquitectonica with landscaping by Urban Robot Associates, offering studio, one- and two-bedroom units with interiors by New York-based INC. With 40,000 square feet of shared spaces, amenities include a private marina, invitation-only speakeasy, waterfront restaurant, resort pool deck plus separate rooftop with infinity edge pool, co-working spaces, cigar lounge, game areas, fitness center with yoga studio, sauna/steam rooms and cold plunge, owners lounge & social club, car service, juice bar, personalized app and on-site hospitality management. YIMBY opes to see the project break ground this year, estimated to reach completion by 2024.
