More than three-quarters of new condo construction in Miami, the Beaches and Fort Lauderdale has been sold, according to a new ISG Miami Report update.
The “Q4 New Construction Update” tracks sales of condo units in the pipeline and currently built east of I-95 in Miami-Dade since mid-2011, and found that 13,248 units have been sold out of the 17,353 units in Brickell, the Biscayne corridor, downtown Miami, the Beaches, Aventura, North Miami Beach, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne and Fort Lauderdale.
Here are its findings:

Brickell Flatiron has sold 45 percent of its 548 units since launching sales in April 2014. Ugo Colombo’s CMC Group is developing the 60-story condo tower, which is located near Brickell City Centre. Meanwhile, Brickell City Centre’s Rise and Reach condo towers are 88 percent and 40 percent sold, respectively.
In May, Colombo and his partners put the development site nearby on the market in a sign of market recalibration.
