One new report puts a number on the scope of
Miami's condo craze: 22,737 units built or
under construction since 2003 -- more than
double the number in the previous 40 years.
That's a huge figure, but still less frothy
than some predicted.
Just how many new condos will end up in
downtown Miami has been the subject of much
debate and speculation, as it has important
implications for the condo market's overall
sales outlook. Perhaps no corner of Florida
has seen more building in recent years than
Miami's urban core.
As bankers handed developers billions for
building, cranes became a fixture on the
city's skyline and thousands of frenzied
buyers bought units sight unseen. Developers
filed plans to build about 85,000 across the
entire city, mainly downtown.
That was far too many, at prices that far
outstripped demand, real estate analysts
warned. They equated the Miami land rush to
the tech stock bubble of the late '90s.
Since then, the housing market has turned
cold, financing has slowed and inexperienced
builders have tripped up on rising
construction costs or plain mismanagement.
Many of the proposed projects have been
scratched.
Now, Miami's downtown condos binge is
starting to come into focus.
''It's not as big as we all thought it would
be,'' said Jack McCabe, a Deerfield Beach
real estate analyst who has long warned that
way too many condos were going up than
current market conditions could support.
``Less than half of all announced projects
are actually being built. Two years ago, it
looked like everything would get funded.
'' To be sure, many observers, including
McCabe, say it doesn't change their
analysis: The downtown market still has a
vast surplus of condos.
''It's kind of a double-edged sword,'' which
conducted the new survey. ``On the one hand,
it is not 50,000 or 80,000 new units, it is
22,000 new units. But the bad part is that
it is still 22,000 new units.''
The report b examined the swath of land from
the Julia Tuttle to Rickenbacker causeways
and from Interstate 95 to Biscayne Bay.
Four researchers went block by block and
reviewed public filings to total the number
of Miami condo units. Completing the study
took four-and-a-half months.
The findings: an area where 11,517 Miami
condos were built between 1963 and 2002 will
now have 34,254. That's 73 new condo
projects comprising 163 buildings, 2,672
floors and 22.5 million square feet of
livable space -- equivalent to 15 Dadelands
going up in a 60-block area in less than a
decade.
The results underline the region's ongoing
transition from a sprawling, suburban
metropolitan area to a modern urban center.
But some parts of the picture remain fuzzy
-- namely, how quickly all the units will be
occupied, when prices will stabilize and
even begin to rise again.
The broader South Florida housing market
remains mired in a slump and the economy is
sputtering. Yet, the renewed desire for
urban life and ongoing trend of road-weary
suburbanites returning to the city is
getting an added kick: $4 gas prices give
more incentive for living where the car is
used less.
Miami's urban center is attracting more
people, especially near Brickell Avenue.
Brickell area condos, Zalewski predicts,
will rebound fastest with prices rising in
three to five years. Other areas, such as
along Biscayne Boulevard north of the
Performing Arts Center, could take longer
than seven years, he said.
''The issue is, have we made this a more
livable downtown and the answer is
absolutely yes,'' said Jorge Perez, chairman
of condo builder Related Group. ``Will,
within a certain period of time, 22,000
Miami condos units be consumed? Yes.''
Despite the current market pain, few
observers deny Miami's long-term prospects
are bright -- predicting that over the long
haul the current condo surge will be
subsumed by even more development said
Perez, who is behind a dozen downtown condo
towers.
''If we are ever to have a viable, 24-hour
downtown, this is a minimal amount of
units,'' he said. ``What is 22,000? It is
nothing.''
Thus far, says Miami real estate analyst
Michael Cannon, 13,430 units in greater
downtown Miami have been completed; of them
74 percent have closed. But the analyst, who
said the CondoVultures.com total downtown
condo count is similar to his own tally,
cautioned against looking at the greater
downtown as a whole.
Cannon predicts there will be significant
differences from project to project and
neighborhood to neighborhood. Variables
include quality of a building and whether a
neighborhood already has restaurants or
shops.
''You have successful buildings next door to
troubled projects that should never have
been built,'' said Cannon, managing director
of Integra Realty Resources. ``And, more
broadly, we know Brickell is a successful
market, but we don't know what type of
person buys in the central business
district, or in Midtown. The jury is out.''
