What Happened
South Florida's real estate market is abuzz with activity, as several high-end developments and investments have been announced in recent weeks. Bass Pro Shops has acquired the 27-acre Cheeca Lodge & Spa in Islamorada, adding the luxury fishing and sporting resort to its multi-billion-dollar portfolio. The outdoor retailer, led by Johnny Morris, purchased the property from Northwood Investors for an undisclosed amount.
Meanwhile, Steve Ross, the billionaire developer behind Related Companies, is nearing a deal to purchase the 1.7 million-square-foot Boca Raton Innovation Campus, the state's largest single office complex. Ross plans to transform the campus into a "micro city" through additional construction on parking lots around the former IBM building.
Why It Matters
These developments are part of a larger trend of luxury investments in South Florida, driven by the region's growing popularity among high-net-worth individuals and families. The demand for luxury properties, from resorts to multifamily developments, is expected to continue, with Kolter Multifamily recently kicking off construction of its Live Local Act apartment project in Delray Beach. The 386-unit development, which includes 155 workforce housing units, is expected to meet the growing demand for affordable housing in the area.
