In one of the most significant land transactions in Key Biscayne history, Terra Group and Fortune International Group acquired the 3.8-acre oceanfront site at 301 Ocean Drive for $205 million — setting the stage for the island's first new condominium development in more than ten years.

The plan calls for a boutique, 13-story building of just 56 ultra-luxury residences, ranging from 3,354 to over 8,000 square feet, with penthouses featuring private pools. Estimated pricing runs from $4M to $25M+, with private sales expected to launch in Fall 2026 and delivery anticipated for 2028–2029.

Their design philosophy emphasizes light, air, and a seamless dialogue between building and shoreline, an approach ideally suited to Key Biscayne's low-rise, residential character.

Raymond Jungles — Landscape

Raymond Jungles, the celebrated landscape architect behind the Miami Beach Botanical Garden and countless iconic private gardens, brings his signature native, subtropical landscapes to the 3.8-acre site. Expect layered plantings, water features, and gardens designed to blur the boundary between residence and barrier-island nature.

Sustainability & Resilience

The development is planned around climate-resilient, sustainable design principles — elevated construction, resilient infrastructure, and environmentally attuned building systems. Terra's track record in sustainable development and Touzet Studio's climate-conscious approach position the project as a benchmark for responsible oceanfront building in South Florida.

Community Commitment

The developers have publicly committed to significant community investment in Key Biscayne alongside the project, reflecting a long-term partnership with the Village and its residents — from streetscape and resiliency improvements to contributions supporting local priorities.

Buyer Questions: Deposits, Closing, HOA & Rentals

What is the deposit structure for 301 Ocean Drive?+

South Florida pre-construction typically begins with a reservation deposit of roughly 10% at contract, stepping to 20% at groundbreaking and 30–50% total through construction, with the balance due at closing. Official terms are released at the Fall 2026 launch.

When is the closing and delivery timeline?+

Private sales are expected to open in Fall 2026, with construction and closings anticipated for 2028–2029. Buyers close and take title at delivery, not at contract.

What are the estimated HOA fees at 301 Ocean Drive?+

New oceanfront Miami condominiums of this caliber typically carry monthly HOA fees in the range of $1.50–$2.50 per square foot, covering amenities, staffing, insurance, and reserves. Final budgets are published with the condominium documents.

Can residences be rented out?+

Boutique luxury buildings on Key Biscayne generally permit longer-term leasing with minimum lease periods and board approval, and prohibit short-term or nightly rentals. The recorded rental policy will be confirmed in the condominium documents at launch.

Can foreign buyers purchase at 301 Ocean Drive?+

Yes. There is no restriction on foreign ownership of U.S. real estate. International buyers may purchase personally, through a U.S. LLC, or through a foreign entity, in cash or with foreign-national financing typically at 50–65% loan-to-value.

What financing options are available for a pre-construction purchase?+

Construction-period deposits are paid in cash, so financing applies to the closing balance in 2028–2029. Domestic buyers typically use a private-bank jumbo or portfolio loan at roughly 60–75% loan-to-value, sometimes alongside a securities-backed line of credit for interim deposits. Foreign nationals use foreign-national mortgage programs that generally fund 50–65% of appraised value. Terms are quoted closer to delivery, so obtain an indicative term sheet before contract.
