Data Spotlight: Multifamily Development and Market Forces
- As of Q3 2024, more than 37,000 multifamily units were under construction across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
According to Miami REALTORS®, Miami-Dade led with 25,000 units underway. Despite the scale of construction, the county’s vacancy rate remained below the national average (6.7% vs. 8.7%), and asking rents rose 4% year-over-year. Permitting remained active in 2024, with an estimated 12,200 new units authorized across the tri-county region by year-end.
- Tech migration continues to reshape Miami’s CRE market.
From 2020 to 2025, Miami recorded the second-highest tech talent relocation rate in the U.S., driving demand for housing, mixed-use space, and new capital markets (Source).
“Southeast Florida is one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the U.S., and this event brings together the professionals shaping that transformation,” said Josie Legido Correa, Director of Business Development at JWR Construction Services and CREW Miami’s 2025 Board President. “At CREW Miami, we’re proud to lead the way in offering conversations that are not only relevant but designed to elevate and empower women at every stage of their CRE careers.”
