In a recent Daily
Business Review article, experts believe that rental rates in Downtown
Miami are on the rise. Harvey Hernandez,
Managing Director, Newgard Development Group, stated that with the population
influx in this part of Miami, the booming neighborhood is “not going to have
enough product to cover the demand." Hernandez said based on predictions
for a population influx in central Miami. He further stated that he anticipates
the rental rate per square foot to jump from the current $2.25 to $2.50 to
about $3.25 which is aimed at “the professional who wants to be centrally
located," he said.
When comparing rentals, two and three bedroom units are a
better value when looking at the price per square foot. With that in mind, it is still possible to
find a great, roomy Downtown Miami rental with over two bedrooms in a well
sought-after condominium. Here are five
condominiums with two-bedroom residences for well under $3.00 per square foot.
