The Global Buyer: Where Miami’s Next Wave of Investment Starts

Miami's luxury market continues to attract capital from around the world, but today's international buyer is more discerning than ever. Join Mayi de la Vega, Founder and CEO of ONE Sotheby's International Realty, Dave Martin, President of Swire Properties, and Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development, for a conversation on the evolving global demand shaping South Florida's residential market.

Together, they'll examine where international buyers are coming from, what they're prioritizing in today's market, and how leading brokerages and developers are adapting their strategies to meet changing expectations around service, brand, privacy, lifestyle, and long-term value. From branded residences and trophy waterfront developments to emerging buyer trends and cross-border investment, this discussion will explore what it takes to capture the next wave of global capital—and why Miami remains one of the world's premier luxury real estate destinations.
