Naples to Palm Beach
Independent guidance on Florida's most significant new developments, from Naples to Miami Beach and Palm Beach.
I help buyers find the right new development in Florida before they commit to a sales gallery. Below are the developments and communities I follow most closely, from downtown Naples to Miami Beach and Palm Beach, with starting prices and what sets each one apart.
I spent 13 years with Miromar Development and was part of the team behind Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club, which the National Association of Home Builders named the #1 community in the USA. I know what it takes to build a community at that level, and that's the perspective I bring to every buyer I advise. I grew up in West Palm Beach and have called Southwest Florida home since 2008.
The onsite sales team represents its own development. I'll show you how it compares with the others worth considering, help you narrow the residences that make the most sense and make the right introduction when you're ready.

This is home. I live and work in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers, and the new-construction market here moves differently than South Florida's: fewer high-rise towers, more boutique developments and master-planned communities, and very little buildable land left near the water. If you're considering a Southwest Florida project that isn't listed here yet, start here anyway. I follow the local pipeline closely.

Palm Beach County runs from boating-oriented residences in Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens to downtown towers in West Palm Beach and the walkable core of Boca Raton. Buyers here tend to know their town first. The useful comparison is usually between two or three developments within it.
Fort Lauderdale's new development spans a wide price range, from fully finished downtown residences in the $500,000s to branded homes on the beach and a marina address at Bahia Mar. Most buyers here are weighing walkability downtown against being on the water, and that tradeoff shapes everything else.
Miami has more new development than any other market I cover, and it's the hardest to sort through. The real decision is usually the neighborhood first: oceanfront Miami Beach and Bal Harbour, the quieter towns to the north, or the bayfront and walkable neighborhoods on the mainland. Once that's clear, the right shortlist gets much smaller.
Miami Beach, Bal Harbour & Fisher Island
Surfside, Bay Harbor, Aventura & North Miami
Edgewater, Midtown, Wynwood, Brickell & Coral Gables
Most of my buyers look at two or three areas before they decide. I'll help you compare the communities, residences, pricing and timing side by side.
A few opportunities sit outside Florida's major coastal markets but appeal to the same buyers: a Four Seasons address in Jacksonville, a private island resort in the Bahamas and a residence at sea.
If you haven't settled on a market yet, start with the one or two things you won't compromise on. These are the developments I'd look at first for each priority, from the Gulf beaches of Naples to Miami Beach.
Gulf-front and oceanfront developments where the beach is part of the address.
Private slips or an on-site marina for buyers who plan to keep a boat.
Residences tied to a hospitality brand and its service program.
Dining, shopping and culture outside the front door.
Very large homes in small, private communities, mostly starting above $10 million.
Fully finished and branded options where a first new-construction purchase can start below seven figures.
Buying new construction isn't the same as buying resale. The onsite sales team works directly for the development, and they know their development better than anyone. My role is different: I help you look across projects before you narrow down to one, compare residences, views, pricing and deposit timing, and understand the purchase agreement before you commit.
I spent 13 years with Miromar Development and was part of the team behind Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club, named the #1 community in the USA by the National Association of Home Builders. I know how great new construction gets built, and that perspective is a big part of what I bring to buyers.
Backed by Douglas Elliman
Douglas Elliman Development Marketing represents most of the developments I follow here. As of mid-2026, Elliman reported a development marketing pipeline of about $26 billion, nearly $19 billion of it in Florida. For buyers, that means an advisor who knows these projects well and can still tell you honestly how they compare.
