This surge has led to an influx of branded residential towers from some of the biggest names in luxury. These towers promise the finest accommodation and amenities in one of the hottest property markets in the world.
Here, Elite Traveler rounds up some of the most exciting finest luxury branded towers currently under construction in Miami.
