South Florida's Real Estate Boom: Where Art and Luxury Converge

With Art Basel Miami Beach just around the corner, South Florida is preparing to welcome a global audience of art lovers, tastemakers, and discerning investors. As the city flourishes culturally, so too has the real estate scene, with groundbreaking developments that reflect the area’s unique blend of elegance and edge.

Demand for wellness devices that bring extreme temperatures indoors continues to heat up—or get cooler as the case may be.

Cold plunges, cryotherapy chambers, infrared saunas, extra-hot steam rooms and the plethora of other hot-and-cold amenities are increasingly in demand in upscale developments and single-family homes around the U.S. In some cases, such relaxation and workout-recovery equipment is as important as the gym itself, experts said.

As the art world eagerly anticipates Art Basel Miami Beach, South Florida prepares to be the epicenter of luxury and culture, attracting a sophisticated audience of art lovers, trendsetters, and global investors. This annual event celebrates art and its influence in Miami’s luxury real estate, where high-end developments merge design and luxury lifestyle. Minette Schwartz, a leading luxury agent with The Schwartz Team at Compass, emphasizes the unique opportunity Art Basel brings: “Developers are pushing the envelope with properties that don’t just serve as residences – they are masterpieces.”
