• Which code governsMiami Beach, Indian Creek, Golden Beach, Coral Gables, Pinecrest and the City of Miami each set their own rules. We confirm which apply to the lot.
• Historic & demolition reviewOn Miami Beach, older homes can face demolition and design review. We check before a site is presented.
• Board of ArchitectsIn Coral Gables, the Board of Architects reviews new homes. We look at what has been approved nearby.
• Flood elevationLocal elevation requirements here are among the strictest in Florida. We confirm the finished floor height and its effect on the design.
• TreesLocal tree protection rules can shape the building footprint, especially in the Grove, the Gables and Pinecrest.
• Water accessOn the bay and the islands, we check depth, dockage and bridge clearance.

Miami’s best residential land is limited and in demand from buyers around the world. The opportunity is an older home on an island or bayfront lot, or an estate parcel in the Gables or Pinecrest, held by long-time owners. We find those sites quietly, and underwrite each one for approvals, elevation and what the finished home can be worth.

“I lived in Miami. These islands, bayfront streets and neighborhoods are places I know first-hand, not from a map.”
