Miami is drawing the world’s wealth, creativity, and ambition, and the numbers are confirming what its residents already know. The latest ranking from investment research platform Norada Real Estate places Miami at No. 3 on its list of the best U.S. cities to invest in real estate in 2026, calling the city a magnet for international wealth and pointing to its rapidly growing local tech hub as a driver of sustained, high demand. For anyone watching global capital flows, this ranking is not a surprise. It is a signal - and the investors who understand signals do not wait. 

The reasons international wealth keeps choosing Miami are structural, not cyclical. No state income tax. A gateway position between North America, Latin America, and Europe. A cultural and culinary scene that punches well above any city its size. And now, another layer of financial appeal is taking shape at the state level. Governor Ron DeSantis has unveiled his “Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes” proposal, which would immediately exempt the first $250,000 of a homestead’s assessed value from taxation and set a legislative schedule aimed at the full elimination of homestead property taxes. For buyers weighing a primary residence purchase in Miami, this is a fundamental shift in the ownership equation. The cost of holding a home here is on the verge of becoming more favorable than at any point in recent memory. 

Within Miami, the question is no longer whether to buy. It is where. And the answer, for those paying close attention to trajectory rather than just today’s prices, is Little Havana. This neighborhood is experiencing a genuine transformation. Its walkability, proximity to Brickell and downtown, unmatched connectivity to the city’s major arteries, and irreplaceable cultural identity make it the focus of a wave of sophisticated early buyers who recognize what a neighborhood looks like just before it fully arrives. Little Havana is not a bet. It is an observation about where the city is going.

Havana Enclave is the only brand-new condominium offering of its kind in Little Havana today. That distinction matters more than it might sound. In a city where inventory in established neighborhoods is constrained and prices in mature markets already reflect years of appreciation, getting into a new development in a neighborhood at this stage of its evolution is the kind of opportunity that serious investors and lifestyle buyers alike rarely find aligned at the same moment. Havana Enclave brings the quality, design, and amenities of Miami’s modern condo market to a neighborhood where that product has simply not existed before, at a price point that reflects where Little Havana is going rather than where it has already been.

Havana Enclave's sales are being led by The Oscar Arellano Team at Coldwell Banker Realty, with Oscar Arellano, Eyvis Mendoza, and Nelson Albareda heading the effort as exclusive sales representatives for the project.

Developer The Astor Companies continues to make incredible progress on the construction of Havana Enclave as it moves closer to its expected completion in the first quarter of 2027. Havana Enclave reflects Astor’s commitment to meet Miami’s housing needs and help the city it calls home reach its full potential.

Havana Enclave General Contractor BDI Construction has removed the project’s buck hoist, which is always a pivotal moment as it signals the completion of exterior construction. Elsewhere in the building, main palm trees were delivered and placed on the pool deck, creating a lush ambiance for what will surely be a popular spot with Havana Enclave’s residents.

Astor and the Havana Enclave team look forward to officially opening the building later this year! For more information about the project, visit blog.HavanaEnclave.com or email Info@HavanaEnclave.com.
