A new CBRE report shines light on the growing interest among Asian investors for South Florida’s luxury real estate and multi-family real estate market.
Miami actually ranks in the top 5 U.S. markets with only New York ranking higher on the east coast, the remainder of the top cities on the west.

The gorgeous weather and luxury neighborhoods must factor strongly in the real estate purchase consideration of Asian investors.
