Doral’s transformation is one of South Florida’s most striking. Once primarily a logistics hub, the city has evolved into a master-planned community, with its population growing from 25,000 in 2019 to 80,000 today.

“We took an area in the western part of Dade County where there wasn’t anything and built a community,” says founding mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez.

Now, developers are racing to secure what little land remains. Among them: and Ernesto De Lucas, who recently broke ground on Doral Parc: Midtown Doral Phase IV, V & VI — a 552-unit residential development with retail space.

Canadian developers continue to leave their mark on South Florida’s real estate landscape, with firms like Realty Partners, , and others behind some of the region’s most ambitious residential and mixed-use projects—from the towering to new luxury developments along the Broward waterfront.

These large-scale investments underscore a deep-rooted relationship between Canada and South Florida. Claridge CEO Bill Malhotra notes, “Canadians have been buying condos and homes in Broward since the 1950s and 1960s. It has become a tradition to be around other Canadian friends here.”

Yet while developers are bullish, individual buyers may be shifting course. Local real estate agents report that more Canadians are selling their Florida properties than purchasing new ones. Factors include higher maintenance fees, stricter U.S. tax enforcement, and a Canadian dollar that’s lost ground against the U.S. dollar. Some point to the lasting chill in U.S.-Canadian relations following the Trump-era tariffs on Canadian imports, which continue to weigh on sentiment.

Even with continued developer confidence and longstanding community ties, shifting economic and political factors may be signaling a new chapter in the decades-long Canada–South Florida real estate relationship.
