Today, a totally different picture has emerged. It stands in stark contrast with the rest of the country and has obscured the plight of many neighborhoods in our own backyard — trapped still by an uneven economic rebound driven by forces outside our borders. The Brickell Corridor is ground zero for a dramatic new wave of real estate development that’s transforming the skyline of Miami’s Financial District and spilling over onto the Downtown Miami and Design District areas. Fed by the voracious appetite of foreign investors and their relentless infusion of foreign capital, massive new projects are rising or ready to rise ever higher and faster than ever before. Visitors are perplexed and astonished by the evolving panorama of the area. Henceforth, it’s vital that foreign investors ease the uncertainties of the market. They should seek both an experienced real estate agent and a competent title professional to guide them through the complexities of acquisitions. With this synergy, the real estate industry will continue to flourish in South Florida and beyond.
