New Condo Developments’s Features Buyers Are Looking For

Florida’s luxury condo market has been booming in the last few years. There are countless new condo developments throughout Florida, prompting condo developers to ask themselves one very important question to make sure their units stand out: what special features are condo buyers looking for?

As commercial interior designers, DKOR design has been fortunate to add a new development project in Clearwater, Florida to our portfolio: ”Serena by the Sea ” by Valor Capital. 

This residential project represents an exclusive opportunity for local and international buyers looking for luxury living in Florida, because of not only the beautiful waterfront location, but also our thoughtful design.

Working on the Serena by the Sea development as well as several other interior design projects has given us insight into current trends, and specifically, what homebuyers are looking for in a property. In this post, we share our knowledge with you.

New Condo Developments’s Features

PRACTICALITY

When making purchase decisions, all clients have their own individual preferences. However, one priority they all share is practicality. Serena units offer living spaces that feature open floor plans.

These open-concept living spaces encourage “bounding,” meaning that homeowners can easily move around and enjoy their space.

Without walls and dividers, the spaces flow seamlessly from one area to the next. Open spaces are practical as well, because they encourage social togetherness, a feature high on home buyers’ wish list.

HIGH CEILINGS

Condo homebuyers prioritize high ceilings, because they provide open and airy interiors along with the opportunity to install beautiful decorative light fixtures, which emphasize specific areas.

A high ceiling is defined as one that is more than nine feet tall. Its benefits include letting in lots of natural light, and making rooms appear larger and brighter. It is also a feature that increases a unit’s resale value.

HIGH-QUALITY KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS

High-end kitchens and bathrooms are always strong selling points. Elegant and well-appointed kitchens and large bathrooms with top-of-the-line materials and quality fixtures make any apartment stand out.

A kitchen with ample and practical storage and space for gathering is always a selling point. 

LUXURY AMENITIES

Amenities in new condo developments are also a big consideration for condo purchasers, because people are always looking for a sense of community and a place to call home. Developers at Valor Capital understand this. That is why they have invested in resort-style amenities such as a private spa, relaxation area, outdoor shower, fitness room and yoga center.

OUTDOOR SPACES

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, outdoor spaces are more valuable than ever, becoming a must-have feature for homebuyers. As a result, condo developers are focusing on providing larger terraces and balconies, embracing the outdoor/indoor connection homebuyers are looking for. Balconies that can comfortably accommodate outdoor dining and/or living spaces are a feature that makes units more desirable.

SMART HOME CAPABILITIES

Buyers are demonstrating a preference for properties that are outfitted with smart home technology, which automates certain features and tasks. Smart home capabilities combine smart outlets, lighting and speakers with smart security and safety features.

“We see a lot of demand for smart home features, touchless entry systems, storage space, oversized closets, and bedrooms, as well as bathrooms and balconies, all of which Serena by the Sea features. “ Regina Sotomayor – Chief Sales Officer
