100 Montaditos Introduces Authentic Spanish Cuisine to Downtown Miami’s Restaurant Scene

Lovingly referred to as the “dollar store” of fast-food franchises, 100 Montaditos first burst onto the South Florida scene in early 2011when the first of its kind opened in mid-town Miami. Bringing with it the Spanish-inspired recipes and selection that have made it a world-renowned eatery, 100 Montaditos serves up its signature Serrano ham on olive-oil soaked oven-fresh bread for just $1\. The franchise now hosts five locations in South Florida with the most recent addition coming in July to a 3,100-square-foot location at the Vizcayne condominiums in downtown Miami, near the American Airlines Arena. The addition of 100 Montaditos to Miami’s restaurant scene cannot be understated in the value it brings to Miami’s selection of hot, new restaurants. With the ambience of a modern pub, food offerings steeped in Spanish history, and a price point that easily compares to the best other fast-food joints have to offer, 100 Montaditos is well positioned to take the region by storm. The owner of the new location, Jesus Ornia spoke confidently when he said, “I fully believe that this concept, which has been successful in Spain, will also be successful in the U.S.” The star of the menu is the $1 baguette bread (imported from Spain) sandwiches that come in one of ten varieties such as Serrano ham, pulled bbq pork, smoked salmon, and chorizo. The sister sandwich montaditos (tortilla Espanola) is fifty cents more and comes with chipotle aioli, tuna with Caesar dressing, and grilled chicken with brava sauce. The selection continues to expand with more meats and cheese but no sandwich exceeds $2.50. Other 100 Montaditos locations in South Florida include The Shops at Midtown at 3252 NE 1st St in Miami, 1520 Washington Ave. in Miami Beach, 801 S. University Dr. in Plantation, 11007 Pines Blvd in Pembroke Pines, and at 230 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. The company plans to continue expanding into the area hoping to have between 10 to 12 restaurants opened or under construction by the end of the year. _As a downtown Miami condo owner, will 100 Montaditos become your favorite neighborhood restaurant?

Breaking its record-setting streak since Q4 2020, it was quite expected of the market to pause and catch its breath. Consistent with the slower pace of the overall Miami market, Greater Downtown Miami reported the following Sales Trends for Q3 2022: * **Q3 2022 vs Q3 2021.** Sales declined 31.6% year-over-year, down from 155 in Q3 2021 to 106 sales for the same quarter of 2022\. (Fig.1) * **Q3 2022 vs Q2 2021.** Sales dropped 54.5% quarter-over-quarter, down from 233 in Q2 to 106 sales in Q3 this year. (Fig. 1.1) It is worth nothing that even though sales may have drastically declined compared to the previous year's record-setting high, Q3 2022 volume was higher than any third-quarter noted in 2020 or from before. This indicates that the luxury condo market maintained its growth threshold set over the past two years, even as sales took a seasonal breather. * **Brickell** had the highest sales volume (72 sales). This core financial district also took over as the most resilient market in the Greater Downtown area, posting only a 22% decline in year-over-year sales. Looking into the **Monthly Sales trends** of Fig. 2.2, July reported 30 sales (compared to 65 in 2021), August reported 44 sales (against 51 in 2021), and September posted 32 sales (compared to 39 in the previous year). As real estate experts, we expect the luxury condo market to close 2022 on a soft note, considering the market usually picks up momentum only after December's Art Basel or by mid-January. With momentum slowing way down, the 12-month Sales Trendline of Fig. 2.3 expectedly took on a negative trajectory in Q3 2022 – breaking its positive streak that had continued from Q4 2020 up to Q2 2022. **Greater Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Quarterly Sales 2015 - 2022 - Fig. 2.1** **Greater Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Monthly Sales from Jan. 2016 to Sep. 2022 - Fig. 2.2** **Greater Downtown Miami Luxury Condo 12-Month Sales with Trendline - Fig. 2.3** ## Q3 2022 - Greater Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Price per Square Foot Up YoY **Q3 2022 Price per Square Foot up 10.4% to $829, Median Price flat year-over-year.** Almost in line with the overall market trend of higher year-over-year price per square foot and a lower median price, Greater Downtown Miami reported similar trends: * Price per Square Foot increased 10.4%, up from $751 in Q3 2021 to $829 in Q3 this year. (Fig. 1) * A look at the 5-year quarterly price per square foot chart in Fig. 3 below reveals that Q3 prices closed in the Higher Ranges – indicating that sellers continued receiving great value for their luxury condo investments in this mainland grouping. * Median Sales Price stayed almost flat, declining marginally by -1.3% - slightly down from $1,350,000 in Q3 last year to $1,332,500 in the comparable quarter of 2022\. (Fig. 1) **Greater Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Quarterly Price per Sq. Ft. 2017-2022 - Fig. 3** ## Q3 2022 - Days on Market Flat at Lowest-Ever in Greater Downtown Miami **34.9% decline in year-over-year Days on Market.** Partly deviating from the overall market trend of a decline in year-over-year numbers but increase in quarter-over-quarter Days on Market, Greater Downtown Miami reported the following values. In Q3 2022, luxury condos spent **30 fewer days** on the market compared to Q3 last year but the same number of days compared to the previous quarter (Fig. 4). With values still at an all-time low, this shows buyer-seller communication stayed at its best in the mainland. **Greater Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Quarterly Days on Market 2018 - 2022 – Fig. 4** ## Q3 2022 - Condo Inventory Flat YoY in Greater Downtown Miami - Moving to Balanced Market Q3 2022 closed with 10 months of Inventory. Partly deviating from the overall market trend of higher year-over-year values, inventory in Greater Downtown Miami stayed flat year-over-year.

(Fig. 6) * Even as quarter-over-quarter sales dropped by 65.5% (Fig. 6.1), Q3 2022 sales remained higher than any third-quarter from 2020 or before. (Fig. 7.1) With sales taking a cyclical break, the 12-month Sales Trendline of Fig. 7.2 shifted into a negative trajectory – breaking its 7-quarter streak of reporting positive curves between Q4 2020 and Q2 2022. **Edgewater Luxury Condo Quarterly Sales 2015 - 2022 - Fig. 7.1** **Edgewater Luxury Condo 12-Month Sales Trendline - Fig. 7.2** ## Q3 2022 - Edgewater Price per Square Foot Still Up at Highest in Greater Downtown Miami **Q3 Price per Square Foot up 16.6% to $867, Median Price also up 8% year-over-year.** Partially deviating from the overall market trend of higher year-over-year price per square foot and a lower year-over-year median price, Edgewater reported gains in both values: * Price per Square Foot increased by 16.6%, up from $744 in Q3 2021 to $867 in Q2 this year.

Ft. 2017-2022 - Fig. 8** ## Q3 2022 - Edgewater Days on Market Up QoQ, But Down YoY **8% decline in year-over-year Days on Market.** Consistent with the overall Miami luxury condo market trend for Days on Market, Edgewater reported a decline in year-over-year numbers, but increase in quarter-over-quarter values. In Q3 2022, luxury condos spent 5 fewer days on the market compared to Q3 last year and 3 extra days compared to Q2 2022 (Fig. 9). This shows that even though sales momentum may have dropped, buyers-seller communication improved compared to a year-ago. **Edgewater Luxury Condo Quarterly Days on Market 2018-2022 – Fig. 9** ## Q3 2022 - Edgewater Inventory Flat YoY - Highest in Miami Overall **Q3 2022 closed with 12 months of Inventory.** Moving against the overall market trend of higher year-over-year inventory, Edgewater reported flat year-over-year and higher quarter-over-quarter values.

(Fig. 11) * Negative year-over-year sales trend in sync with the slowdown noted in Miami overall. * Third-quarter volume at highest compared to the same quarter of 2020 and before (Fig. 12.1) – indicating the market may have lost steam seasonally but kept to its momentum gathered over the past two years. * **Brickell** again reported the **highest sales volume** out of all Greater Downtown Miami neighborhoods under review.

Amenity-rich, smaller condos tend to fetch a higher price per square foot. **Brickell Luxury Condo Quarterly Price per Sq.

(Fig. 15) * Looking at the 5-year snapshot of quarterly prices per square foot below (Fig. 17), we found that Downtown prices closed in the higher ranges - giving sellers great value for their luxury condo investments. * Median Sales Price also declined by 17.4%, down from $1,512,500 in Q3 2021 to $1,250,000 in Q3 this year. (Fig. 15.1) **Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Quarterly Price per Sq. Ft. 2017-2022 - Fig. 17** ## Q3 2022 - Downtown Miami Days on Market Up QoQ, Down YoY **24% decline in year-over-year Days on Market.** In line with the overall Miami luxury condo market trend for Days on Market, Downtown Miami posted a decline in year-over-year days, but increase in quarter-over-quarter values. In Q3 2022, luxury condos spent 32 fewer days on the market compared to Q3 2021 and 40 extra days compared to Q2 2022 (Fig. 18). This shows that even though sales dipped seasonally, buyers-seller communication improved compared to the previous year. **Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Quarterly Median Days on Market 2018 – 2022 - Fig. 18** ## Q3 2022 - Downtown Miami Inventory Up YoY **Q3 2022 closed with 12 months of Inventory.** Tightly in step with the overall market trend of higher year-over-year inventory, Downtown Miami reported an increase. At 12 months, inventory closed within the 9-12-month mark of a balanced market – indicating this sub-market offered buyers and sellers equal opportunity, in an otherwise seller-dominated market. * On a quarter-over-quarter basis, inventory went up 50% from 8 months in June 2022. * On a year-over-year basis too, inventory increased by 20% from 10 months in September 2021. **Downtown Miami Luxury Condo Months of Inventory from Mar. 2019 to Sep. 2022 - Fig. 19** _A balanced market has only 9-12 months of inventory. The months of inventory are calculated as – no. of active listings + no. of pending listings divided by the average number of deals in the last 6 months._ ## Q3 2022 Greater Downtown Miami Market Conclusion As predicted in our Q2 2022 luxury condo market report for Greater Downtown Miami, this urban core took a seasonal break from posting record sales since Q4 2020\. Sales cooled off across the board with a negative trendline, much like the overall Miami market trend – except in Downtown Miami, which posted a positive trendline owing to a record-breaking Q1 and Q2 in 2022. **Brickell** emerged as the most popular neighborhood in the Greater Downtown area, reporting the highest volume (72 sales) of all 3 sub-markets and lowest percentage loss in year-over-year sales (-22%). Brickell also emerged as the strongest sub-market in Miami overall, with its least negative impact on year-over-year sales growth. Deviating slightly from the overall market trend in Q3 2022 of higher Price per Square Foot and lower year-over-year Sales Price, prices mostly increased in Greater Downtown Miami. Sellers **in** **Edgewater** continued receiving maximum value for their investments, as luxury condos in the area fetched top-dollar - closing Q3 at a price of $867/square foot as well as the highest year-over-year price gains by reporting a 17% increase. Echoing the overall market trend, the Days on Market declined year-over-year for luxury condos across Greater Downtown. Brickell remained the fastest-selling market, with properties spending only 50 days on the market (on median) before closing as sold. Again, slightly deviating from the overall Miami market trend of higher year-over-year inventory, the trend remained flat in Greater Downtown. At 10 months, this core grouping leaned towards becoming a balanced market, as opposed to the seller-friendly trend noted in the overall Miami market. Considering the last quarter of the year is also slow-paced (as per historical data), we, as luxury real estate experts, expect to see the market cool-off further before picking up pace after mid-January. Additionally, we expect the following to influence the direction of the luxury condos market in Miami during the closing quarter of 2022: * Recent business migration trends coupled with South Florida's tax-saving policies will likely continue attracting high-net-worth buyers and well-paid employees. * Higher interest rates might discourage only a few sellers who may have locked in lower mortgage rates or refinanced at a more lucrative rate, considering the luxury condo market usually operates on cash. * With travel picking up, we expect South American and other foreign buyers to offset any setbacks in demand from a weakening Euro, considering our foreign buyer statistics are dominated by Latin American (39%) and Canadian (25%) clientele. * With brands like Edition, NoMad, The Standard, and Diesel building luxury condos in the urban core with more short-term rental flexibility and a shorter commute to work, we expect Greater Downtown to stay in the spotlight for buyers and investors alike. * As mentioned in previous reports, even as developers continue buying out older condo buildings to build fresh luxury, we expect the market to operate with low levels of inventory until such product is built (2-3 years) – keeping the market seller-friendly or balanced at max. for the next few cycles. **Metric** **Overall Miami** **GDM** **Edgewater** **Brickell** **Downtown** **Sales** Down Down Down Down Down **Sales Trendline** Negative Negative Negative Negative Positive **Price/Sq.
