Ponce Park Residences Coral Gables: ten reasons buyers choose it

Ponce Park Residences is an 11-storey building of roughly 58 to 60 homes at 3000 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables, by The Allen Morris Company, designed by John Cunningham with interiors by Meyer Davis, beside a restored city park and across from The Plaza Coral Gables. It is under construction with a loan closed in January 2026. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing.

Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, cross-referenced across several sources, with anything unconfirmed flagged. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and does not represent the developer. All notes from the desk.

The Note
30 August 2026

The desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly. Ponce Park is one the desk is asked about every week by buyers who want Coral Gables rather than the water, and this note is compiled from the developer's published material and the public record rather than from a brochure summary. It is the list of reasons buyers give when they choose this building, with the facts behind each one.

One. Coral Gables, and nothing like it on the bay

Coral Gables is the planned Mediterranean city of the 1920s: the Biltmore, the canopy of oak and mahogany, the University of Miami, Miracle Mile and the best schools in the county. It is where families who do not want a bayfront tower go, and it has had almost no new residential product at this level in a generation. The desk at Miami Dossier reads Ponce Park as the first building to answer that.

Two. A park at the door

The building sits beside Ponce Circle Park, which the developer is restoring in coordination with the city as part of the project, at the intersection of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and University Drive, with The Plaza Coral Gables and its shops and restaurants across the street and Miracle Mile a short walk away.

Three. Eleven storeys, roughly 58 homes

Published counts sit at 58 to 60 residences across 11 storeys. It is a mid-rise by design, in a city that has resisted towers, and the count keeps the building private.

Your situation is specific. Tell the desk in one message and we will say what applies to you, what does not, and who to speak with.

Four. Meyer Davis on the interiors

Meyer Davis Studio, New York, designed the residences and the amenity spaces, as at Baccarat Residences in Brickell: Italian wood kitchens, natural stone, spa baths with freestanding tubs.

Five. Two to five bedrooms, roughly 1,900 to 6,500 square feet

Published plans run from two to five bedrooms, reported between roughly 1,900 and more than 6,500 square feet, with ceilings of 11 to 12 feet, private elevator access, and terraces with integrated summer kitchens.

Six. A Mediterranean facade in stone

John Cunningham's design references the Mediterranean Revival context of the city in a contemporary interpretation: a natural stone facade, artisanal metal and wood, and an arcade at street level. The Allen Morris team sourced the stone in Italy.

Seven. A rooftop pool and sky bar

A rooftop pool and sky bar, a private rooftop lounge, a spa, a fitness studio, a meditation courtyard, a wine cellar and cafe spaces, with a concierge, for roughly 58 households.

Eight. A restaurant from Madrid at the base

Roughly 22,000 to 25,000 square feet of ground-floor retail anchored by a restaurant, announced as Quintín Ultramarinos of Madrid, serving residents and the neighbourhood through the arcade.

Nine. Financed and under construction

A construction loan reported at roughly 132 million dollars closed in January 2026 with the building under way. Published delivery has been guided for 2026 to 2027; the desk at Miami Dossier confirms the current schedule on request.

Ten. The Allen Morris Company

Allen Morris has developed in Florida since 1958 with more than 90 completed projects, and is also the developer of Ziggurat in Coconut Grove. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery history and shares it on request.

The questions around the building

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Ponce Park Residences Coral Gables are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.

The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.

Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how Ponce Park Residences Coral Gables fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.

A Note on Advice

This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.

Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.

The Desk

Everything in this note has a solution.

Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.

Compared With

Where Ponce Park Residences sits against the rest

Nobody chooses Ponce Park Residences in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove, and sets it against the established stock and the neighbouring areas on the Coral Gables cluster. If the question underneath yours is really whether a tower is the right product at all, start there instead.
