Most Underrated Opportunity in SoFlo. Here’s a Chance to Prove It.
Let me say something that doesn’t get said enough: the Florida Keys might be the most under-recognized real estate opportunity in all of South Florida.
Driving distance from one of the hottest cities in the world. Feels like the Caribbean. No airport, no passport, no problem. And yet it still gets treated like a day trip instead of a destination.
Cheeca Lodge & Spa in Islamorada just hit the market for $300 million, and the price tag tells you everything about where this market could be heading.
Northwood Investors has tapped JLL to find a buyer for the 27-acre Islamorada icon. Two hundred and fifty rooms, a Jack Nicklaus nine-hole course, 43 oceanfront suites added last year. This isn’t a hotel. It’s a piece of American leisure history with an ocean view.
But here’s the number that matters: luxury hotel revenue per available room rose 5% last year while the broader market was flat. And in the Florida Keys, you can’t just build your way into that upside. Supply is frozen. Demand is not.
Whoever buys Cheeca Lodge isn’t just buying a resort. They’re buying scarcity.
Aman did it in Turks and Caicos. Four Seasons did it in Nevis. Someone is going to do it in the Florida Keys.
The Keys aren’t coming. They’re here. Cheeca Lodge is the chance to prove it.
