和 Anna J Kaiser尽管近年来迈阿密各地的公寓销售普遍下滑，但市场中有一个领域却异常火爆——那些尚未动工的超豪华公寓销售。
By Daniel Cancel and Anna J Kaiser While condo sales across Miami have broadly slumped in recent years, one sector of the market is booming — ultra-luxury sales in apartments that haven’t even been built yet.
开发商太古地产（Swire Properties）总裁大卫·马丁（David Martin）在接受采访时表示，位于金融中心旁人工岛布里克尔岛（Brickell Key）上的迈阿密文华东方酒店公寓项目（The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Miami），在项目动工前已售出价值17亿美元的公寓。
The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Miami on Brickell Key, a manmade island next to the financial center, has sold $1.7 billion worth of condos before breaking ground on the project, David Martin, president of the developer Swire Properties, said in an interview.
这些销售额中包括两套创纪录的顶层公寓，每套售价约为5000万美元。买家中约65%为美国本土人士，这一比例高于迈阿密高端市场往常的水平，该市场历来吸引更多国际客户。来自州外的投资者主要来自加利福尼亚州、纽约州和马萨诸塞州。
Those sales include two record-breaking penthouses for about $50 million a piece. The buyers are about 65% domestic, higher than is typical for Miami’s top end of the market, which has historically drawn more international clients. Out-of-state investors hail from California, New York and Massachusetts.
曾开发布里克尔城市中心（Brickell City Centre）综合体项目的太古地产，正在为计划于2030年完工的这些大楼进行自筹资金建设。马丁表示，出售城市中心资产所得的收益以及买家支付的部分定金，均可用于项目融资。
Swire, which also developed the mixed-use Brickell City Centre, is self-financing the construction of the towers that are slated to be completed in 2030. Proceeds from the sale of its City Centre assets and part of the deposits from buyers can be tapped for funding, Martin said.
马丁指出，来自金融和科技行业的买家正在推动需求，且许多人选择全额现金支付。该项目将于本周正式动工，并于周四晚间举行庆祝派对。
Buyers from the finance and tech industries are driving demand and many people are paying all in cash, Martin said. Official ground breaking happens this week, marked by a party Thursday evening.
“迈阿密高端市场的经济状况已经发生了翻天覆地的变化，”马丁说道，“人们才刚刚开始理解这意味着什么。”马丁提到，布里克尔地区的两个大型办公项目为该地区带来了五年的“活跃期”，从而带动了销售。西班牙桑坦德银行（Banco Santander SA）正在布里克尔大道1401号建造一座大楼，而城堡投资集团（Citadel）也已在其总部所在地（位于南面仅几个街区处）动工。预计这两座大楼的高度均在50层左右，并将吸引各类租户入驻。
“The economy of Miami has changed at the top end almost beyond recognition,” Martin said. “People are just beginning to understand what that means.”Martin cited two large office projects in Brickell as drivers for a five-year “runway” of activity in the area that’s benefiting sales. Banco Santander SA is constructing a tower at 1401 Brickell Avenue while Citadel has started work at their site just a few blocks south for its headquarters. Both are expected to be around 50 floors high and attract varied tenants.
在太古地产的建筑工地上，原先的文华东方酒店已于今年早些时候被拆除。其中，66层高的南塔楼将拥有228套住宅，目前已售出80%。北侧的一栋33层建筑将容纳一家拥有121间客房的酒店以及部分住宅，目前住宅销售率已达25%。太古地产拒绝就总建筑成本或销售总额发表评论。
At Swire’s construction site, where a previous Mandarin Oriental hotel was demolished earlier this year, the 66-floor south tower will have 228 residences with 80% of them already sold. On the north side, a 33-floor building will house a 121-room hotel along with residences which are 25% sold. Swire declined to comment on total construction costs or how much it will collect in sales.
自2024年南塔楼启动销售以来，价格已上涨了30%。马丁表示，迄今为止，约有30%的买家计划将这些公寓作为主要居所，而60%的买家则将其作为第二居所。
Since sales started for the south tower in 2024, prices have jumped 30%. Some 30% of buyers thus far plan to use the apartments as their primary residence with 60% making it a second home, Martin said.
“我们正在与价格在800万至1000万美元区间的独栋住宅竞争，”他说道，“这反映了人们当下的生活方式。”
“We’re competing with single-family homes” at a $8 million to $10 million price range,” he said. “That speaks to how people are living.”
