Seventeen Gables Residences is a boutique pre-construction condominium in the East Gables/Coral Gables area, planned as an eight-story building with 120 fully finished residences ranging from one to three bedrooms, including select den layouts and private balconies. The project is being developed by Ascendra Capital and BAM Development, with architecture by Caymares Martin A&E Design, interiors by Asprea Studio, and sales led by Cervera Real Estate. It is designed to blend classic Coral Gables character with a more modern lifestyle, offering amenities such as a resort-style pool, fitness center, sauna, social lounge, co-working spaces, concierge service, and assigned parking. Another important highlight is its flexible 30-day minimum rental policy, which adds appeal for some buyers and investors. The development is also expected to be priced from the $600,000s, and a reported $60 million construction loan secured in February 2026 signals meaningful momentum as the project moves toward its planned 2028 delivery.

“Five stars does not adequately reflect the fantastic experience we had in buying our dream home through Jeannie. We were on vacation and on a whim decided to look at a few homes. A friend recommended Jeannie, and what a great recommendation it turned out to be. Jeannie knows the market as she is a resident of South Florida and through her, we found a place that we couldn’t pass up. Jeannie knew just the right questions to ask us, and found the place that checked all our boxes. There is a lot to consider when moving to a new state, and the Florida keys are a unique area, and Jeannie was there to answer all of our questions. She was meticulous about getting all entities together, including appraisers, home inspector, utilities, the seller, etc. Her organizational skills are second to none. She was always available to us for questions day or night, and worked tirelessly on our behalf. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Jeannie started out as a stranger to us and through the process we feel like she became our friend.”
