The development
JEM rises in Miami Worldcenter, the 27-acre megadevelopment reshaping downtown Miami. It's Naftali Group's first residential property in Miami, a 770-foot tower designed by Arquitectonica whose wavelike silhouette echoes the nearby coastline. Its residences range from studios to three bedrooms and start on the 45th floor, with full-height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces facing the city, Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic.
The interiors are by Rockwell Group, David Rockwell's studio, and the landscape architecture is by EDSA. On the 50th floor, the JEM Club is a private amenity floor for residents: an extension of every residence meant for socializing, working and relaxing without leaving the building. Arrival is through a full-service porte-cochère, with its own sculpture and a double-height lobby.
The address is 1016 NE 2nd Ave, in Downtown Miami. The building has its own entrance to the Metromover — free, and a direct link to MiamiCentral Station, with access to Brightline and Metrorail — and the Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat, is a few minutes' walk away. Developed by Naftali Group, with more than 35 projects and USD $15 billion in total value, most of them in New York.

Investment opportunity
Miami Worldcenter is the 27-acre megadevelopment rebuilding downtown Miami: retail, offices and more than 30 planned restaurants, many from recognized chefs. JEM has its own entrance to the Metromover, free and direct to MiamiCentral Station with Brightline — to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando — and Metrorail, plus a direct connection to Brickell. The Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat, is a few minutes' walk away, and Miami International Airport is about 15 minutes away.
Basically the idea is to understand that Miami today can offer a very small unit, incredible per square foot under construction, but you go downstairs and you have a luxury lifestyle at your feet, because you can reach all of these things without sitting in traffic for hours.
Well, Cris, I definitely feel that we have been selling Miami for so many years —more than 20 years, I would say, that we have known each other and have been living Miami— and I definitely say that the best Miami I have lived in is the one we are living in now. The city has changed completely for us: Brickell, downtown, the airport area, the port. And today we are here at JEM, in what this new Miami is, that mini Manhattan that we lived and used to see literally in books, in shows, and seeing it as a reality today is spectacular.
So there is nobody better than you, who has spent so many years living in this area, selling it and promoting it, to tell us a little about the change Brickell and Downtown have gone through, what we have today, where it is heading; and all of this is going to give us the context for why JEM.
Of course. Well, thank you very much for being here again at JEM Private Residences. When we talk about the area, which is Downtown Miami, it was a neighbourhood where, when we were selling Paramount pre-construction, we promised clients “an Apple Store is coming”, and they looked at us and said: “No, that can't happen here. This neighbourhood can't support an Apple Store, that's not true”.
And today we come to a downtown where, first, the city became more compact, because more people are living here permanently: you can live downtown without a car and we are less than five minutes from Miami's four industries, which are the port, the airport, the financial centre and the beach. When you buy something you are looking to minimise the risk of the investment, both for your own enjoyment and for the possibility of renting. Having that nearby is very important.
But downtown is all new: it is going through a historic moment, receiving billions of dollars between public and private developments. And today we see it: these buildings that are here surrounded by parks, by entertainment, by the opera, the ballet, the Broadway shows. We have the museums, the Art Museum, the Science Museum, the Kaseya Center, where the Miami Heat play and the most famous singers in the world perform. We have transport, we have the Brightline a few blocks away, which already reaches Orlando, which we also talked about once.
But on top of that, JEM is inside Miami Worldcenter: you are buying within the second largest urban development in the country. This means that all of these buildings that are already finished, some being finished now, others under construction, are all interconnected by pedestrian streets and retail spaces that have started to open. We say it again: Apple Store, Starbucks, Lululemon, Sephora. We have Michelin-starred restaurants, Maple & Ash, Café Laurel; we have Earls Kitchen, Serafina. There are hair salons, clothing stores, gyms.
Basically the idea is to understand that Miami today can offer a very small unit, incredible per square foot under construction, but you go downstairs and you have a luxury lifestyle at your feet, because you can reach all of these things without sitting in traffic for hours. So today we are very happy, because it is the result of many years of work, and our clients —those who have already bought from us and those who come to buy the next products, or the one we are offering today, such as JEM— are seeing that it is a reality. And that gives us a lot of joy.
There is something you say that honestly always strikes me. Our clients, the kind of client we have, can literally invest anywhere in the world: “Why Miami, Patricia? Why do you recommend it to me? They are offering me other places”. And something very interesting happens here, very different from how it works in Latin America, and I have lived it over the almost 25 years I have spent literally selling Miami: it is how you see cities progress in complete coordination with all the parties, with the government, literally.
The Miami we are seeing today really is the result of that. When we started this new stage of what Miami is, we were seeing really very basic buildings. Miami was always very popular because it was the city of malls and bars; basically that was what we were selling.
What happened? And we were literally part of that. There came a moment when some visionaries said: “Hold on, we have the climate, we have the beach, we have a number of things, a strategic point for the north of the United States, for Europe”. And these developers came and joined forces with the government bodies and told them: “All right, mayor, governor, I am going to bring a multi-million dollar investment here, I am going to bring you taxes, but for this I need to work with you to have infrastructure”.
And that really is how cities grow, how property prices hold up and develop over time. And that is why today we see Formula 1, Michelin-category restaurants. About 10 years ago we weren't even thinking about having a food scene to come and eat in, concerts, Art Basel; we have culture, we have a great deal of activity, the port of Miami, the port of Fort Lauderdale.
Which is what gives us the reassurance that there really is a set direction, that there is a city developing not just around one building. Here we are in a beautiful building, which is JEM, but let's not look only at the building, but at everything we have around it: because for us as investors that is what will give us the reassurance that this investment will hold up over time, will be preserved and will grow.
Of course. And we always remind these buyers, these gentlemen on the other side, these ladies sitting at home: buying pre-construction is very interesting, because the day you buy you lock in that price, and then we hand over the unit two, three, four, five years later, depending on the product you choose. And that is where I always say: it is very simple, common sense. My grandfather paid one price, my father another, I another and my son another.
So, with all these changes we have been talking about, we wait a few years and it shows up in the price of the units we bought; also in the enjoyment, because you will be able to enjoy everything that is being renewed. All of this is new in Miami and we finally have a very beautiful, very complete city. And it is worth coming, finding out what new products are coming out and where. So I think there is still quite a way to go, we have much more to grow, but we have already shown that we are a complete city.
Excellent. Well, Cris, thank you very much. I honestly love JEM. I think it is definitely answering this current buyer, who is very different from the one we had 20 years ago: what you say, being able to walk the city, not needing the car, having activities very close and easy, having apartments that are not so large but are very practical, yet in buildings with spectacular common areas, where I can go downstairs, meet a client or spend time with my friends or my children, enjoy a pool, and not have to be wrapped up in the day-to-day maintenance of all that. So, excellent, thank you very much. And we are going to carry on here with the process, we are going to show you what it is and all the benefits we can have.
Investing in Miami is easier than you think.
I think Miami's big change is not the buildings: it's the people who are coming here to live. The buyer we have today is very different from the one we had 30 years ago, and I understood that when I got to know JEM Residences. I believe this project is aimed at this new generation of people who are coming to live in and enjoy the new Miami of today.
It used to be very common to buy a property and live in it for the rest of your life. Today that reality has changed for us. We have business owners, we have content creators, families, entrepreneurs who are travelling and working around the world, and we need a product that fits these new needs.
After getting to know JEM Residences, it is clear to me that its architecture reflects the people who want to live in Miami today, because when the way we live changes, the way cities are designed changes too.
Investing in Miami is easier than you think. With PFS Realty we make it happen.
Miami Worldcenter is a 27-acre megadevelopment in Downtown Miami combining retail, offices and more than 30 planned restaurants. JEM has its own entrance to the Metromover, free and direct to MiamiCentral Station, with access to Brightline and Metrorail and a direct connection to Brickell. It's why residents without a car can reach the rest of Miami with one public-transit ride.
It can be rented. On the minimum term it is worth being precise: the rental rules —how many days minimum and how many rentals per year— are set by the condominium declaration, and the material published by the developer does not spell them out. Before you sign we confirm them for you in writing against the current documents, because your income model depends on it. And if you also want us to manage the property after closing, we do that too.
The developer's floor plan set documents 27 unit lines: studios from 556 total square feet, one-bedroom-plus-den residences between 1,026 and 1,296 square feet, two-bedrooms between 1,424 and 2,014 square feet, and three-bedrooms up to 2,387 square feet. Bathrooms range from 1 to 3.5. In total there are 259 residences between the 45th and 65th floors. The full table with every line and its floor range is further up this page.
Chef's kitchens with a curated appliance suite and custom islands with their own countertops and millwork. Ceilings are full height with floor-to-ceiling windows, and every residence has a private terrace with views of the city, Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic, depending on floor and orientation.
The plan is 20% at contract, 10% after 90 days, 10% in summer 2026, and the remaining 60% at delivery, estimated for the fourth quarter of 2027. In pre-construction, dates shift, so confirm it with us and against the contract before signing instead of taking it from a website.
Yes. You do not need US residency or citizenship to buy. There are banks that lend to foreign buyers, usually with a larger down payment than for a resident, and we connect you with them. We are not financial advisors: what we do is guide you through the process and put you in front of the real financing options, on the terms each bank confirms to you in writing.
PFS Realty is a single company for the whole process: financing, purchase, property management and insurance. We have spent more than 24 years working with buyers from Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela and the rest of Latin America, in their own language and with support before and after closing. You do not have to coordinate a separate bank, broker, manager and insurer yourself.
