Villa Valencia Condos in Coral Gables has Officially Completed Construction and Sells Out at 95%

Four years in the process, the Villa Valencia luxury condo development by Rishi Kapoor's Location Ventures has officially completed construction.

With $100 million in closings so far, Villa Valencia, a 13-story, 39-unit project at 501 to 525 Valencia Avenue in Coral Gables, is 95% sold out. There are only three units available, one of which is under contract, a $14.9 million penthouse, and two others with an average price of $4 million each.

According to Kapoor, founder and CEO of Location Ventures, the project's sales averaged $1,100 per square foot, setting a record for that neighborhood.

According to Kapoor, the majority of the buyers are locals from Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, and Coral Gables. In addition, 20% were from New York, 5% from California, and 4% from Illinois, with 2% from Latin America.

The plot was purchased by the developer for $16 million in 2018, and sales of Villa Valencia began the following year.

Kapoor recognized that labor shortages and delays on the project were made worse by the pandemic, but he claimed that setting building cost locks before the pandemic helped him keep costs under control.
