Top 20 New Luxury Developments in South Florida — September 2026
As of September 2026, Waldorf Astoria Miami — Florida’s first supertall, more than 90% sold and nearing topping out at 100 stories — leads South Florida’s Top 20 new luxury developments, followed by Cipriani Residences Miami, the St. Regis Residences Brickell, The Perigon Miami Beach and Rivage Bal Harbour. Entry pricing across the list runs from $1.6 million to about $13 million.
South Florida’s new-development cycle is no longer a Miami story. The strongest projects this month span three counties — from a 1,049-foot supertall in downtown Miami to a Robert A.M. Stern pair of towers on West Palm Beach’s Flagler waterfront and a $2 billion marina redevelopment in Fort Lauderdale. Here is our ranked Top 20 for September 2026, with status, pricing and delivery for each. Browse every tracked project at the Haute Residence new developments hub.
How do we rank South Florida’s new developments?
Four weighted factors, applied to developer releases, listing-service data and construction reporting as of September 2026:
Sales momentum — absorption pace and disclosed percent-sold figures. Brand and design pedigree — the operator (St. Regis, Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental) and the architect (RAMSA, SOM, OMA, Arquitectonica). Delivery certainty — completed or topped-out buildings rank above towers under vertical construction, which rank above groundbreakings and sales galleries. Price momentum — record contracts, repricing and PPSF trajectory, benchmarked against our September 2026 price-per-square-foot index.
What are the top 20 new luxury developments right now?
The top five, in prose: No. 1 Waldorf Astoria Miami combines all four factors — the 100-story, 1,049-foot tower by PMG with Greybrook, Mohari Hospitality, S2 and Hilton reached level 85 in August 2026, began its ninth and final glass cube, and was more than 90% sold as of December 2025, per the developer, ahead of a winter 2026 topping-out and Q2 2028 delivery (see our report on the final cube milestone). No. 2 Cipriani Residences Miami, Mast Capital’s 80-story Brickell tower, topped off in July 2026 at roughly 950 feet — the tallest residential tower south of New York — more than 80% sold toward a summer 2027 delivery. No. 3 St. Regis Residences Brickell (Related Group and Integra Investments, Robert A.M. Stern Architects) passed 80% sold with roughly $900 million in sales as of August 2026, per listing-service reporting, targeting late 2027. No. 4 The Perigon Miami Beach, the OMA-designed 73-residence collaboration between Mast Capital and Starwood Capital, is topped off with pricing now from $12.55 million and over 75% sold. No. 5 Rivage Bal Harbour — Related Group and Two Roads Development with SOM — is the last beachfront site in Bal Harbour Village, 56 residences from about $13 million, now targeting 2027.

Ranks 6 through 11 reward finished or nearly finished structure. Pier Sixty-Six (Tavistock) is the only completed entry — 88 residences delivered by September 2025, with a $14.5 million penthouse closing reported as Broward County’s new-development record; it anchors our Fort Lauderdale 2026 complete guide. Rosewood Hillsboro Beach — Related Group and Dezer Development’s 92 residences on a 12-acre ocean-to-Intracoastal site — topped out in February 2026 toward early-2027 completion; see the complete buyer’s guide. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami would rank higher on momentum alone — Swire Properties has logged $1.3 billion in sales including two $49.9 million penthouses at roughly $6,300 per square foot, mainland Miami records — but the site was only cleared in April 2026 and delivery sits around 2030, so certainty caps it at No. 8. Waldorf Astoria Pompano Beach and Mr. C West Palm Beach both pair 85%-plus sales with visible towers; our Mr. C 2026 guide has the full story. South Flagler House, Related Ross’s RAMSA-designed towers priced from roughly $12.5 million at $3,000–$5,000 per square foot per 2026 market reporting, topped out in November 2025.
The back half mixes rising towers and big bets. 1428 Brickell (Ytech) reached level 25 of 70 in September 2026 with roughly 85% sold. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Palm Beach Gardens — Catalfumo Companies’ 106 residences with a 29-slip marina — entered its final construction phase in April 2026 ahead of 2026 completion; details in the complete buyer’s guide. Olara was 15 floors up in August 2026 (see the Olara 2026 buyer’s guide), and Villa Miami — Terra and One Thousand Group’s Edgewater tower — passed the 37th floor in May 2026, on schedule for 2027 in a neighborhood we profile in our Edgewater market guide. Bentley Residences went vertical in June 2026 with its patented in-unit car elevators, from $5.8 million toward 2028 — see the Bentley complete buyer’s guide. Four Seasons Coconut Grove(CMC Group and Fort Partners, 70 residences from about $6 million) trades scale for scarcity. The Ritz-Carlton West Palm Beach broke ground in February 2026 and promptly put a $16.95 million penthouse under contract at record North Flagler pricing, per PROFILEmiami. St. Regis Bahia Mar — the residential anchor of a $2 billion masterplan, covered in our complete buyer’s guide — and Pagani Residences, the hypercar marque’s first residential project with pricing from $3.9 million toward 2028, close the list as high-pedigree, pre-vertical plays.
Which projects moved this month?
Up: Waldorf Astoria Miami began its ninth and final cube in late August, putting a winter topping-out in sight. Cipriani carries momentum from its July top-off and 80%-plus sellout. Mr. C West Palm Beach crossed 85% sold in July, per Terra, and holds the fastest-selling title in its market. The Ritz-Carlton West Palm Beach jumped on price momentum after its record penthouse contract.
Watch closely: The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami converted its April implosion into pre-groundbreaking staging — vertical work later in 2026 would push it up this ranking. 1428 Brickell keeps climbing roughly a floor a week. Rivage slipped from a 2026 target to 2027, per market reporting — pedigree keeps it at No. 5, but a second slip would cost it.
What should buyers watch in October 2026?
Four dates matter. First, Waldorf Astoria Miami’s topping-out, expected winter 2026 — a milestone that historically firms remaining-inventory pricing. Second, Olara’s first-phase delivery window opening in late 2026, the first new North Flagler product to actually close. Third, St. Regis Bahia Mar’s groundbreaking, expected late 2026 or early 2027 — the gating event for Fort Lauderdale’s next cycle. Fourth, Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach Gardens closings, as the 2026 completion converts contracts to deeds.
Buyers timing a 2027 move-in should cross-reference the 2027 delivery calendar and our roundup of near-completion 2026 deliveries; for the month’s full transaction log, see the September 2026 pre-construction monthly.

Data comes from developer releases, listing services and construction reporting as of September 2026.

Mr. C Residences West Palm Beach, with launch pricing from $1.6 million, followed by Olara at $1.7 million and Cipriani Residences Miami at $1.8 million, per developer and listing data as of 2026. At the other extreme, The Perigon starts at $12.55 million and Rivage Bal Harbour at roughly $13 million.
