MIAMI—Developers with an understanding of Miami's market are tapping into the trending “next generation home”—residences with multiple master suites. These types of developments are becoming more common in Miami and, in some cases, are even illegal once you move north and hit Broward County.

Essentially, developers are doing away with studios and one-bedroom floor plans to accommodate the buyer who plans for the next generation of the home—housing young adult children who have returned or aging parents coming to live with their children. This is another reason for the increase in self-made duplexes within condo developments.

With this trend in mind, the developers of Privé At Island Estates have a strategy for the Reserve Collection that combines two large residences. Meanwhile, the Sky Residences combine two penthouses to create the living spaces to meet the needs of those seeking a next generation home.
