It’s new. It’s big. It’s gorgeous. It’s really expensive. It’s selling unusually fast.
The “It” buildings in each of The Real Deal’s markets are condo developments that typify the moment in their regions, according to brokers, insiders and our reporters’ carefully honed instincts.
In some places, like South Florida, buyer demand for the best means developers can take huge swings, pushing the edge of pricing, design, location or amenities. In other cities, the pool of high-end condo buyers has dwindled, ruining the rizz of projects that might have once had buyers excited. In between are condos that might not seem remarkable but still stand for an important trend in their market: shifting in-demand neighborhoods or growing acceptance of high-rise living.
