With deep-rooted connections and an intimate understanding of the community, Aaron offers unparalleled insights into Boca Raton's dynamic property landscape. In this exclusive Q&A, he discusses the factors driving the market's growth, emerging trends, and his personalized approach to guiding clients through the competitive real estate environment.

PROFILEmiami: What excites you most about the Boca Raton real estate market?

Aaron Buchbinder: Boca is home for me—it’s where I grew up, so it’s personal. Getting to work in my own backyard is something I never take for granted. This isn’t the same Boca I knew as a kid—it has transformed into a premier destination that goes far beyond the traditional idea of a vacation or retirement spot. We are seeing remarkable growth driven by people who want to live, work, and raise families here. From vibrant, family-friendly neighborhoods to exclusive beachfront and country club communities, Boca truly offers something for every lifestyle.

PROFILEmiami: What trends do you see shaping the area's real estate market now and in the coming years?

Aaron Buchbinder: We are seeing more families prioritizing safe neighborhoods and strong school districts. At the same time, older buyers are seeking out luxury condos and country club living. Boca offers both worlds, which is why it continues to thrive. The demand is across generations, and that’s powerful.

PROFILEmiami: How do you help clients navigate today’s competitive real estate landscape?

Aaron Buchbinder: It all starts with setting clear goals and expectations from the beginning. I tailor everything to my clients’ needs and timelines—whether they’re ready to make a move now or just starting to think about it for next year, I help them plant those early seeds. In today’s competitive market, having the right mindset and clarity around priorities is essential—especially when important life factors like schools come into play. I guide the conversation toward what really matters so we can make smart, confident decisions. From understanding the nuances of each neighborhood to leveraging off-market opportunities, I bring the insight and strategy needed to help them stay ahead.

PROFILEmiami: Are there any neighborhoods or property types you think are undervalued or emerging?

Aaron Buchbinder: New construction communities are definitely trending—especially among young families who want a turnkey lifestyle. East Boca continues to be a hot spot too, and it’s still full of opportunity.

PROFILEmiami: What does your ideal day in Boca look like?

Aaron Buchbinder: I start with a workout at The Boca Raton gym, where my family and I are members, then grab breakfast and a coffee at Saquella Café in Mizner Park. After that, I’m at the office or out at showings until about 5pm, and then it’s all about family—sports practice with the kids or dinner out. On weekends, we love relaxing by the pool at The Boca Raton. If it’s a date night, you’ll find us at Matteo’s with friends, ordering the veal chops. With the kids, it’s usually hibachi at Saiko.

PROFILEmiami: W​hat has been the most defining moment of your career?

Aaron Buchbinder: Crossing the $100 million in sales mark for the first time was a significant milestone for my team. It wasn’t just about the number, it was about the years of hard work, trust from our clients, and the foundation we had built together.

PROFILEmiami: What advice would you give to someone considering a move to South Florida?

Aaron Buchbinder: If you’re moving with a family, lock in your school before you do anything else. That piece drives everything. And if you’re coming for the lifestyle, find a local guide who can help you find the right community that fits your rhythm—whether that means the best schools, social clubs, restaurants. South Florida has so much to offer, but it’s all about finding the pocket that aligns with your life.

PROFILEmiami: One word your clients would use to describe you?

Aaron Buchbinder: Approachable.

Global buzz continues to build around DAMAC International’s first residential project in the United States, and one of the only of its kind in America for Zaha Hadid Architects: The Delmore – a 12-story oceanfront centerpiece of Miami’s “Billionaire’s Triangle.”

Global buzz continues to build around DAMAC International’s first residential project in the United States, and one of the only of its kind in America for Zaha Hadid Architects: The Delmore – a 12-story oceanfront centerpiece of Miami’s “Billionaire’s Triangle.”

Excitement reached new levels this week with the unveiling of a meticulously designed bespoke sales gallery for the ultra-luxury condominium project, which continues to reign as Miami’s marketplace leader, with prices averaging $40 million.

Director of Sales for The Delmore, Tara West – a venerated top-producer whose track record of success has included being at the forefront of sales for a slew of South Florida’s most game-changing, high-end residential properties – oversaw the opening in tandem with The Delmore’s exclusive broker, Douglas Elliman.

“The Delmore is a reflection of the developer’s commitment to always give buyers more than they expect, and this sales gallery underscores that dedication to excellence,” said West. “The world is truly enamored with Miami – and now more than ever as a primary home destination. I am extremely proud to say that this offering is unrivaled in the quality of its designs, craftsmanship, and incomparable oceanfront lifestyle.”

The Delmore will be located at 8777 Collins Avenue in the Town of Surfside, Miami – while the off-site, 4,500-square-foot sales gallery is located at 301 71st Street in Miami Beach.

A small sampling of photos of the expertly crafted space was released on the heels of the gallery’s opening, showcasing a selection of key elements. The whole of the venue and its architectural splendors remain cloaked for appointment-only previews.

“This is a spectacular project that simply must be experienced in-person,” added West. “From the moment brokers and prospective buyers enter this beautifully appointed sales gallery, they are going to be awestruck – getting an immediate feel for the exclusivity and rarefied beauty that will define day-to-day living at The Delmore.”

Through the gallery’s stately front door, shrouded in greenery, buyers will be treated to a stunning site overhead: A ceiling-mounted screen depicting The Delmore’s 75-foot-long, sky-high translucent pool, complete with a digitally generated swimmer gliding through the water. The pool – one of the project’s most talked-about amenities – will be the only of its kind in the Miami market.

In The Delmore’s open and airy model living area, lavish designs beautifully encapsulate the mansions’ sophisticated interiors and exceptional attention to detail, punctuated by fine finishes and elegant features. The exquisite show kitchen is a standout, complete with a sculpted marble island by the project’s interior architect, Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA). A scale model of The Delmore furthermore offers a closer look at how these mansions will be laid out, level by level, and showcases their scope and proximity to the ocean.

“This vision for this sales gallery has been all-encompassing and months in the making,” said Jeffery Rossely, Senior Vice President of Development for DAMAC International. “The impeccable designs are a bold reveal of the next generation of luxury that will define this project – Miami’s ultimate residential destination.”

The Delmore’s four- to five-bedroom mansions start at $15 million – all fully finished, each with private elevator entry foyers. Comparable to single-family retreats, sizes average 7,000 square feet, with penthouses starting at 10,000 square feet. In addition to having the direction of a Residence Manager, these 37 mansions in the sky will be served by residential butlers, putting nearly every imaginable comfort and convenience at the beck and call of owners.

Additional features include a rooftop deck with unobstructed sunset, Bay, and Miami skyline vistas, a fitness center, an indoor, 75-foot lap pool, a signature meditation garden, and a restaurant with a curated, Michelin-starred menu, exclusive to residents and their guests. High-net-worth buyers have also been drawn to The Delmore’s location in Surfside, which is adjacent to Indian Creek and minutes from Bal Harbour, forming Miami’s sought-after “Billionaire’s Triangle.” Construction – already underway – has an anticipated completion of 2029.

PGA Tour Expected To Return To Miami At The Iconic Blue Monster Course At Trump National Doral In 2026

The PGA Tour is expected to return to Miami’s iconic Blue Monster Course in 2026, with President Donal Trump’s Trump National Doral once again playing host to professional golf’s biggest stage. This highly anticipated move marks a significant chapter in the resort’s storied history and a major win for South Florida’s sports and tourism economy.

The PGA Tour is expected to return to Miami’s iconic Blue Monster Course in 2026, with President Donal Trump’s Trump National Doral once again playing host to professional golf’s biggest stage. This highly anticipated move marks a significant chapter in the resort’s storied history and a major win for South Florida’s sports and tourism economy. Official confirmation is still pending but signs are pointing to the tournament being a fixture on the PGA Tour’s schedule as a signature event. Additionally, LIV Golf’s Miami stop has been removed from their 2026 schedule and the R&A’s new leadership under Martin Darbon announced this morning that they have had talks with Eric Trump about returning The Open Championship to the Trump-owned Trump Turnberry in Scotland after the previous chief executive had vowed to not host an event at a Trump Organization owned property despite Trump Organization owning many of the world’s most iconic and historical golf courses.

Originally opened in 1962, Trump National Doral has long been synonymous with world-class golf. The resort gained international prestige by hosting the PGA Tour’s Doral Open for over 50 years, followed by the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship until 2016. In 2012 the property was acquired by President Donal Trump’s Trump Organization and underwent a $250 million renovation, updating its four golf courses, including the legendary Blue Monster, and upgrading the 800-acre resort with luxury accommodations, enhanced amenities, and expansive event space. Trump National Doral has also hosted the LIV Golf’s Miami event for the past several seasons, maintaining its place as a world-class global golf destination.

The PGA Tour’s return is expected to bring a substantial economic boost to Miami-Dade County. PGA Tour events generate tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in economic impact for host cities as they attract tens of thousands of visitors, filling hotel rooms, restaurants, and local businesses. Additionally, national TV coverage and international exposure reinforces Miami’s position as a premier sports and lifestyle destination. A 2026 PGA Tour event in Miami would generate new opportunities for local vendors, sponsors, and hospitality operators to drive business.

In addition to golf, Trump National Doral has become an anchor in the Doral real estate market, contributing to the city’s emergence as a luxury residential and commercial hub. Its presence has helped elevate nearby property values and spurred ongoing development, from gated communities to retail and office expansions. As the PGA Tour prepares to return to the fairways of Trump National Doral, the event represents more than a sporting revival—it signals the reemergence of a South Florida landmark in the international spotlight.

The Rider Residences And Wynwood-Based Crypto Mortgage Lender 'Milo' Unveil Crypto-Backed Real Estate Financing Program

The Rider Residences, Miami’s first crypto-native condominium development by Rilea Group and Ciprés, have unveiled an innovative financing collaboration with Milo, the leading crypto mortgage lender based in Wynwood.

The Rider Residences, Miami’s first crypto-native condominium development by Rilea Group and Ciprés, have unveiled an innovative financing collaboration with Milo, the leading crypto mortgage lender based in Wynwood. This new partnership marks a groundbreaking advancement in how digital asset holders can acquire real estate in Miami.

Through this collaboration, crypto investors can now leverage their Bitcoin or other digital assets as collateral to secure cash deposits toward the purchase of their units at The Rider, without selling their crypto. This initial crypto-collateralized loan allows buyers to fund their 40% pre-construction deposits while retaining the upside potential of their holdings.

Once the building is complete, Milo will offer buyers a second round of financing: a 30-year crypto mortgage secured by the property, the only crypto-backed option of its kind on the market today. At closing, clients will not need to come up with any cash down payment as Milo can finance 100% of the purchase price.

“This is a game-changer for sophisticated buyers who want to maximize their financial strategies while securing hard assets in a desirable market. The Rider is at the forefront of this movement, offering a complete solution for transactions that align with the future of wealth and ownership,” said Diego Ojeda, President of Rilea Group.

Interest rates for the down payment crypto loan are in the high single digits, making it an attractive solution for clients who do not want to sell any Bitcoin and expect future appreciation. Clients will be able to access the loans to fulfill their deposit schedule with The Rider.

At Milo, we’re redefining crypto’s role in everyday life. By offering Rider buyers cash liquidity without the need to sell their Bitcoin, we’re paving the way for seamless property ownership alongside untapped crypto potential," said Josip Rupena, CEO of Milo. The Rider, positioned at the nexus of Wynwood, Midtown, and the Design District, continues to make headlines, most recently for completing Miami’s first wallet-to-wallet Bitcoin condo sale. With bold, 1970s-inspired interiors by RADYCA and a curated collection of resort-style amenities, The Rider offers fully furnished studios to three-bedroom residences, priced from the $400Ks to over $1.8M. Delivery is expected in late 2026. This milestone further cements The Rider’s reputation as Miami’s premier real estate destination for crypto-native buyers.
