Coral Gables real estate is experiencing an
uptick in sales and construction. Luxury
home builders are in the process of buying lots and older homes only to destroy
them and build lavish estate-style properties.
Several of the top new construction listings in Coral Gables are in
established neighborhoods that have sections undergoing major overhauls to make
it possible for luxury home owners to live in the heart of the Gables. Here are several new properties that are
under construction or newly built.

that line the streets in the neighborhood.

addition to details like built-ins, vaulted ceilings, an elevator, walk-in
closets, wood and marble flooring, and so much more. The large kitchen will have everything a chef
wants including high-end cabinets, counter tops and appliances. Because construction has just now started,
the home owners have the ability to customize as they would like as well as buy
this amazing property at a pre-construction price. As construction progresses, the list price
will more than likely increase. Located
in an established neighborhood of Coral Gables, the streets are quiet and lined
with mature trees. Gables Riviera is filled with older homes that have tons of
character and details that are not typically found in new developments. New construction homes like this one include
the intricate details of what we call “old Florida” along with modern
conveniences and fixtures.

fixtures and finishes that there are too many to mention. Some of our favorites are the custom details
on the staircase, the marble flooring throughout the home, the arched entryways
into each room and, of course, the walk-in closets and French doors leading out

Tons of Potential
With so many opportunities to build, rebuild or even
remodel, Coral Gables is full of wonderful properties with tons of
potential. Along with newly developed
areas and vacant lots in some of the most exclusive neighborhoods along the
waterways, there are also older homes on large mature lots in established
neighborhoods that can be demolished to build new estates.
