Life at Cassia Residences at Coral Gables

Cassia Residences at Coral Gables Investment & Market Outlook
Why Coral Gables Pre-Construction Outperforms
South Florida pre-construction has historically delivered double-digit appreciation between contract and delivery, especially in branded residences. Coral Gables specifically has seen sustained demand from international buyers seeking US dollar-denominated real estate, tax advantages from Florida's no-income-tax structure, and currency hedging against home-market inflation.
Branded residences like Cassia Residences at Coral Gables typically command 25–35% price premiums over comparable non-branded inventory in the same submarket, and resale price retention has consistently outpaced the broader Miami condo index over the past decade.
Friends & Family Pricing
As pre-construction specialists with direct developer relationships, we offer qualified buyers access to friends-and-family pricing — typically 4–8% below current public release pricing — along with extended deposit schedules, custom unit selection, and priority on the most desirable exposures and floors.
Deposit Structure
Standard Coral Gables pre-construction deposit structures range from 20% at contract to 50% by delivery, with milestone payments at groundbreaking, top-off, and certificate of occupancy. Cassia Residences at Coral Gables follows the Coral Gables market standard. Our team can walk you through the full deposit schedule and any current developer incentives reducing the at-contract deposit requirement.
How to Reserve a Residence at Cassia Residences at Coral Gables
Pre-construction purchases follow a different path than resale transactions. Here's what to expect, step by step.
-
01
Initial Consultation
We start with a 30-minute call to understand your goals — primary residence, investment, legacy asset — and walk you through current availability, pricing tiers, and the floor plans best suited to your needs.
-
02
Floor Plan Selection & Reservation
Once you've narrowed your selection, a refundable reservation deposit (typically $25,000–$100,000) holds your residence for 14–30 days while contracts are prepared. You'll receive the full developer reservation package and the most current pricing for your specific unit.
-
03
Contract & First Deposit
The purchase contract is executed with the developer, and the first deposit (typically 10–20% of the purchase price) is wired to the developer's escrow account at a Florida-licensed institution. All funds are protected under Florida pre-construction escrow law until milestones are reached.
-
04
Construction Milestones
Subsequent deposits are released as construction reaches defined milestones — typically groundbreaking, top-off, and certificate of occupancy. You'll receive quarterly construction updates, photo documentation, and the option to tour the unit once interiors are roughed in.
-
05
Closing & Delivery
At closing, the final balance is funded (cash or financing via approved lenders), title transfers, and you receive keys. Closing typically occurs 30–60 days after the developer issues the certificate of occupancy. Move-in coordination, designer access, and Mercedes-Benz/Bentley/Armani concierge enrollment all happen at this stage.
