Executive summary
E11EVEN Residences is a purpose-built, PMG-operated condo-hotel in Miami's Park West — arguably the most STR-friendly luxury product downtown, with daily rentals permitted, no minimum stay, and an amenity stack (E11EVEN Day Club, Chopra Spa, casino sports lounge, beach-club shuttle, 24/7 nightclub VIP access) that no nearby comp can match. The regulatory and amenity picture is genuinely strong; the economics are where the caution lives. Live base ADRs from operating peers within half a mile — Gale, Sentral Alea, YotelPad and The Elser — cluster in the low-$200s and align tightly with the independent TTM vendor actuals, both landing well below the model's ADR assumption, so per-night revenue should be underwritten conservatively rather than at the stretch case. Against a premium furnished lease this becomes a thin-margin, rent-sensitive cash-flow play whose verdict hinges on the true lease number and on capturing Miami's event calendar (Ultra, Art Basel, F1, NYE) at peak pricing. The dominant risk is supply: the Miami Worldcenter pipeline is delivering an extraordinary volume of directly-competing units into this exact half-mile over the next 18 months, which will pressure both occupancy and ADR — confirm the lease expressly permits STR and that the deal pencils at live comp ADRs before committing. Note: Comp ADRs shown are base nightly rates. Y1 Net calculations include separate cleaning fee revenue from Revarity locked constants.
The money model
Three honest scenarios: bear (conservative), base (realistic), and bull (stretch). Base is what we underwrite to.
These come from our standard market read. The deep comp shop found 4 usable listings, under the 6 we require before a comp shop is allowed to set the numbers.

Amenities: what it has, what it's missing
Amenities the top comps have that this unit is missing, ranked by revenue impact.
Gale, Sentral Alea, The Crosby, 501 First and The Elser all advertise private balconies with skyline views; in a view-driven market a balcony unit reads as a premium. Not retrofittable — prioritize a balcony floor-plan at lease selection.
Comps consistently list a 'dedicated workspace'/work desk; a proper desk + chair captures business travelers and digital-nomad extended stays that anchor summer occupancy.
Sentral Alea markets an in-bath hot tub as a differentiator; if the unit has a soaking tub, feature it prominently in photos and listing copy.
Gale and The Elser tout EV charging; surface building EV access and cheaper off-site parking (~$20–40/night) to blunt the $55–75 valet friction that recurs in comp reviews.

Regulatory & landlord read
Is short term rental legal here, and who owns/manages the building.
Miami-Dade County Code §33-28 (Residential Short-Term Vacation Rentals) + City of Miami / Miami 21 transect-zone STR provisions + FL DBPR Ch. 509 vacation-rental license — https://www.miamidade.gov/building/standards/residential-short-term-vacation-rentals.asp
Pending: Florida state STR-preemption legislation (SB 280-style) has been debated repeatedly; could move licensing to a state registry but no measure currently bans STR in this urban-core zone (verify current session); City of Miami periodically revisits transect-zone STR enforcement and Certificate-of-Use requirements
[Cached: 2026-08-19] E11EVEN is purpose-built STR-permissive but City of Miami registration and lodging-tax compliance create real cost/risk lines.
Seasonal pricing rate card
Suggested ADR targets by season and the named local events that drive the peaks.
| Period | ADR target | Min stay | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| NYE / Ultra Music Week / Art Basel peak | $450–650 | 3–4 nights | Biggest weeks of the year — E11EVEN NYE, late-Mar Ultra, early-Dec Basel; exceed the hotel ceiling. |
| F1 Miami GP / Miami Open / Boat Show weekends | $350–475 | 3 nights | Early-May F1, Mar tennis, mid-Feb boat show — strong event premiums. |
| Winter high-season weekday (Jan–Mar) | $220–280 | 2 nights | Peak leisure season; respect ~$200–290 4★ midweek ceiling. |
| Winter high-season weekend (Jan–Mar) | $280–360 | 2 nights | Snowbird + cruise demand; push toward the upper band. |
| Heat game / concert nights (Oct–Apr) | $250–320 | 2 nights | Kaseya Center events lift specific dates — price dynamically. |
| Shoulder weekday (Apr–May, Oct–Nov) | $180–230 | 2 nights | Mid-stay corporate + digital-nomad is the unlock. |
| Summer weekday (Jun–Sep) | $150–195 | 2 nights | Softest window (heat/hurricane); lean on longer stays and monthly discounts. |
| Summer weekend (Jun–Sep) | $200–260 | 2 nights | Domestic + LatAm leisure keeps weekends firmer than weekdays. |

Neighborhood trajectory
Where this submarket is heading: capital, prices, and the ADR ceiling.
The Worldcenter transformation is a powerful 5–10yr land-value and demand driver (retail, transit, events, Apple/Sephora/Lululemon anchors), but the same pipeline that lifts the district also floods this exact half-mile with directly-competing STR-flexible inventory in the near term — a genuine occupancy/ADR headwind that should be underwritten now.
- Miami Worldcenter master plan (27 acres) · $6B (8,400+ resi units + 500 hotel keys pipeline) (multi-phase, ongoing)
- 600 Miami Worldcenter (Aria/Merrimac) · $95M construction loan / 606 units (completing late 2026)
- JEM Private Residences (Naftali) · $465M financing / 273 condos + 530 apts (topped out, delivering Q4 2027)
- Downtown 6th (Melo Group) · 581-ft tower (completing end 2026)
- The Crosby Miami Worldcenter (Related/Merrimac) · 450 units (delivered)
- E11EVEN Beyond (PMG/E11EVEN) · part of $262M+ program / 469 units (under construction)
- Okan Tower (Okan Group) · 316 hotel keys + condos (under construction)
The analyst's take
Best-in-class STR-legal luxury product — but live ADRs undercut the model and Worldcenter supply is a real headwind; a rent-sensitive, thin-margin play.
- Unmatched amenity/brand differentiation (E11EVEN Day Club, Chopra Spa, nightclub VIP) supports a real ADR premium once reviews build
- Event-driven demand (Ultra, Art Basel, F1, NYE, Heat season) enables aggressive peak pricing above the hotel ceiling
- Purpose-built, legally-clean STR with in-house PMG program lowers compliance + operational friction
- Brightline/Metromover + Worldcenter walkability drive year-round leisure, business and cruise demand
- Low $2,500 setup keeps capital-at-risk minimal despite the thin monthly margin
- CRITICAL near-term supply within ~0.5mi: 600 Miami Worldcenter (606 units, 2026), Downtown 6th (2026), The Crosby (450, just delivered), E11EVEN Beyond (469), JEM (2027)
- Live comp + vendor ADRs (~$206-$213) run ~26% below the model's $290 — direct revenue risk
- High furnished-lease cost makes net highly rent-sensitive; near-breakeven at live ADRs
- Lease/unit STR permission is UNSURE — must confirm program enrollment + Certificate of Use
- Guest-fee friction (resort/amenity fees + $55-75/night valet) suppresses value scores in comp reviews
What guests say: POSITIVE THEMES (across ~75 reviews on the 3 closest comps): - Views: floor-to-ceiling skyline/Biscayne Bay views are the single most-praised feature. - Location: walkability to Kaseya Center, Worldcenter, Brightline and nightlife is a repeat winner. - Cleanliness: brand-new 2026 finishes and spotless units score consistently high. - Check-in: front-desk/concierge registration described as smooth once IDs are pre-sent. - Amenities: resort pool, gym, sauna and lounges land well with leisure guests. NEGATIVE / WATCH THEMES: - Surprise fees: recurring complaints about resort/amenity fees ($35–66/night) not shown at booking. - Parking cost: valet at $55–75/night repeatedly flagged as expensive. - Small footprint: studios feel tight for 4 guests; manage expectations. - Construction noise: active Worldcenter buildout noise cited near several comps — watch as pipeline delivers. - Access friction: mandatory ID pre-registration and strict quiet hours occasionally frustrate late arrivals.
