The Short Answer
At Villa Miami, deposits are cash and the closing payment is financeable. The deposit schedule is 10% at contract, 10% at 90 days, 10% at 6 months and 10% at 12 months — 40% of purchase price paid from the buyer's own funds during construction. The remaining 60%, plus closing costs, is due at closing, projected for 2027. That 60% is where a mortgage, private-bank facility or securities-backed line of credit is applied.
What This Means in Dollars
- Villa Mezzo from ~$6M — approximately $2.4M in deposits across the construction period, roughly $3.6M due at closing before closing costs.
- Villa Piano from ~$9M — approximately $3.6M in deposits, roughly $5.4M at closing.
- Villa Doppio from ~$18M — approximately $7.2M in deposits, roughly $10.8M at closing.
- Villa Triplo penthouses ~$25M–$55M — approximately $10M–$22M in deposits, roughly $15M–$33M at closing.
Add closing costs on top — see the closing costs breakdown — and confirm the deposit timing on the payment structure page.
Lender Types Used at This Price Point
Private banks. The most common route for buyers with an existing wealth-management relationship. Underwriting looks at the whole balance sheet rather than a single income stream, and the loan is often relationship-priced.
Jumbo portfolio lenders. Banks that keep the loan on their own books rather than selling it. They can lend on a newly delivered condominium before it is agency-warrantable, which conventional lenders generally cannot.
Foreign-national programs. Designed for buyers with no U.S. credit history. Typically 50%–60% LTV, supported by international bank references, two years of financials and verified reserves. A passport, an ITIN and a U.S. bank account are needed for the closing itself.
Securities-backed lines of credit. A pledged-asset facility against a managed portfolio. Funds the closing without liquidating positions or realizing gains — the structure many buyers prefer when the alternative is selling appreciated assets.
Timing: When to Start
A loan commitment issued today would not survive to a 2027 closing, so buyers do not apply at contract. The practical sequence is: confirm at contract that your closing funds are identifiable, keep the lending relationship warm during construction, then formally apply roughly six to nine months before delivery, when the building's appraisal and condominium documents are available to the lender.
What matters at contract is different: the developer's contract is not contingent on financing. If you intend to borrow, treat the closing payment as an obligation you can meet in cash if the loan does not materialize, and structure ownership accordingly with counsel.
Ownership Structure Affects Lending
Buying in an LLC, a trust or a foreign entity changes both the lender list and the documentation. Some private banks lend to entities routinely; some portfolio lenders will not. Because the ownership decision also drives estate and tax treatment — particularly for international buyers — it should be settled with counsel before contract rather than in the months before closing. See the foreign buyer guide for the cross-border considerations.

Frequently Asked
Can you finance a Villa Miami pre-construction purchase?
Yes, but financing applies at closing, not at contract. Deposits — 10% at contract, 10% at 90 days, 10% at 6 months, 10% at 12 months — are paid in cash from the buyer's own funds. The remaining 60% due at closing in 2027 is where a mortgage, a portfolio loan or a securities-backed line of credit is typically applied.
Do lenders finance pre-construction condos in Miami?
Portfolio and private-bank lenders do. Conventional agency lending is generally unavailable on a building that is not yet complete and not yet warrantable, so buyers at this price point usually work with a private bank, a jumbo portfolio lender or a foreign-national lending desk. Loan commitments are typically issued close to delivery rather than at contract.
How much can a buyer typically borrow at Villa Miami?
Domestic jumbo and private-bank buyers commonly see 50%–70% loan-to-value on a completed luxury condominium. Foreign-national programs generally sit lower, often 50%–60% LTV, with reserve requirements. Because deposits already cover 40% of price, a 60% loan at closing can fund essentially the entire closing payment for a qualified borrower.
Can foreign buyers get a mortgage at Villa Miami?
Yes. Several U.S. banks run foreign-national mortgage programs that do not require a U.S. credit score, using instead international bank references, two years of financials and verified reserves. Expect a lower LTV, a higher rate than a domestic jumbo, and an ITIN plus a U.S. bank account for the closing.
Is a securities-backed line of credit an option?
It is one of the most common structures at this price level. A pledged-asset or securities-backed line lets a buyer draw against a managed portfolio at closing without liquidating positions or triggering a capital-gains event. Terms come from the buyer's own bank or wealth manager, not from the developer.
Does the developer offer financing at Villa Miami?
No developer financing program has been published for Villa Miami. Buyers should plan on cash deposits during construction and their own financing at closing. Any incentive or contract term should be confirmed in writing at the time of contract.
