    How we rank

    The Haute Living Top 20 is built from real buyer demand signals, not listing counts or sales volume. Each month we run a proprietary set of prompts modeled on how luxury buyers actually search — the questions UHNW purchasers put to AI assistants when researching South Florida new construction — and measure which developments surface most consistently across those queries. We weight the results against inquiry volume through HL Real Estate Group and our editorial team's direct developer relationships, built over 20 years of covering this market. The ranking is refreshed monthly, and positions move: a development climbing the list is gaining genuine buyer attention, not paid placement.

    Frequently Asked

    About the Haute Living Top 20

    How often is the Top 20 updated?
    The ranking is reviewed and republished on the first of every month by the HL Real Estate Group editorial team. The current edition is August 2026, last updated August 1, 2026. Positions move as buyer inquiry volume, sales velocity, and coverage shift, and projects that lose momentum drop off the list entirely.
    How are developments ranked?
    Rank is based on editorial demand: buyer inquiry volume received through HL Real Estate Group, developer sales velocity and release activity, the volume and depth of editorial coverage, and broker interest across South Florida. Pricing, delivery timeline, and brand strength inform the read but do not decide position on their own.
    What does "Haute Pick" mean?
    A Haute Pick is a project the Haute Living editorial team singles out beyond its rank — a building whose design, location, developer track record, or value at current pricing our editors believe deserves particular attention from buyers this month. It is an editorial judgment, not a paid placement.
    Which development is currently #1?
    Cipriani Residences Miami in Brickell, Miami holds the #1 position for August 2026, starting at From $1,600,000. It leads on buyer inquiry volume and sustained editorial and broker interest across the month.
    Are these ranked by price?
    No. Price is not a ranking input. The list spans a wide range, starting from roughly $1.4M, and a lower-priced building regularly outranks a more expensive one when it is generating more buyer inquiries, faster sales, and more coverage in a given month.
    Can I get pricing and floor plans for a ranked development?
    Yes. Every project on this list links to its own page with a request form, or you can use the concierge form below. The HL Real Estate Group team responds with current pricing, floor plans, brochures, availability, and private preview information. The service is complimentary, discreet, and carries no obligation.
