S1E6 | Luxury Culture | Why Founders Are Buying Wellness-First Condos in Miami

Relocating to Miami full-time? Luxury buyers are trading status for wellness and buying long-term homes in Edgewater. This conversation is for the founder or executive moving to Miami with family who wants a home built around how they'll live every day, not just a few weeks a year. Banna Fakhoury of the Anantara Residences Miami sales team explains how buyer priorities shifted from status to longevity, why Edgewater at 36th and Biscayne sits within minutes of five neighborhoods, and how to narrow down your options when everything looks appealing. What you'll learn: Why full-time relocation changed what luxury buyers ask for, from more square footage to wellness built into the building What a brand-operated 30,000 sq ft Vitality Center includes, from blood work to recovery How one corner connects Edgewater, the Design District, Midtown, Wynwood, and the beach The relocation surprises that catch buyers from New York and California off guard Why renting for six months before you buy can be the smarter first move About Crawford Real Estate Advisory: Crawford Real Estate Advisory is an advisor-first, intelligence-led firm helping relocating founders, executives, and investors find the right pre-construction home across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, starting with how you want to live.
