This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
A pre-construction price is agreed at contract and paid at delivery, often years later. Near closing the lender has the residence appraised and lends a share of the lower of the price and the appraised value. When the appraisal comes in under the price, the buyer funds the difference in cash.

An appraiser works from closed sales. A new tower has none of its own until the first residences close, so early valuations lean on neighbours that may be older or unbranded. A brand or a view premium needs evidence the appraiser accepts. Upgrades bought from the developer may add less to the valuation than they cost.

Most Florida pre-construction contracts carry no appraisal or financing contingency, so a low valuation neither releases the buyer nor lowers the price. The usual answers are a larger down payment, a second appraisal where the lender allows it, or another lender.
How much cash could you add at closing if the valuation came in short? Which lenders have already valued residences here or next door? What does the contract say about closing on the date whatever the loan does? The desk reads the contract with you and introduces a lender for the rest.
