The 62-story luxury tower has reached completion amid a surplus of high-end condos on the market in Miami.
Fewer foreign buyers are interested in buying luxury condos in Miami as South American economies — once a major source of real-estate investment in Miami — falter.
Additionally, as Hillary Hoffower wrote for Business Insider, "new-development condos also emerged onto the market as current condo owners began to sell, some encouraged by the strong value of the US dollar — creating the perfect recipe for a surplus."
Although about 64% of the residences were sold before the building was even finished, Miami developers usually try to presell 85-90% of the units in a building, Peter Zalewski of Miami real-estate consulting firm Condo Vultures told The Wall Street Journal.
