Ponce Park Residences and Cora Merrick Park are both boutique condo launches in Coral Gables, a low-supply submarket where new condominiums rarely come to market, and they answer two different buyer questions. Ponce Park is the larger-format, higher-entry choice: 58 residences across 11 floors at 3000 Ponce de Leon Boulevard by The Allen Morris Company, two to five bedrooms from roughly $3 million, per the developer and PROFILEmiami. Cora Merrick Park is the wellness-led, lower-entry choice: 74 residences across 12 floors at 4241 Aurora Street by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group, from about $900,000, per The Real Deal. If you want larger residences and a marquee Coral Gables address, Ponce Park fits. If you want a wellness focus and a more accessible entry point, Cora Merrick Park fits. New boutique supply in Coral Gables is the limited resource that drives value in both. For the full picture, see the building comparison index.

Price and Scale
The clearest difference is entry point and residence size. Ponce Park starts at roughly $3 million for larger two- to five-bedroom homes running up to about 6,500 square feet, a format aimed at primary-home buyers and luxury trade-downs who want space in the Gables. Cora Merrick Park starts at about $900,000 for one- to three-bedroom-plus-den residences from roughly 678 square feet, a format that widens the buyer pool and supports both end-users and investors. That is not a quality gap, it is a strategy gap: Ponce Park concentrates value into fewer, larger homes, while Cora Merrick Park spreads a lower entry point across a slightly larger count. In a submarket where new condo supply is scarce, both benefit from limited competition.
Developer and Design
Ponce Park is developed by The Allen Morris Company, a long-active Coral Gables developer, with architecture by John Cunningham working with Zyscovich and interiors by Meyer Davis. Cora Merrick Park is developed by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group, with architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Urban Robot Associates. Both teams pair an established South Florida developer with a recognized design studio; Ponce Park leans on a deep Gables track record and a park-front address, while Cora Merrick Park leans on a wellness-driven program and a location directly across from the Shops at Merrick Park.
Delivery Timeline
Ponce Park is further along. It began construction in late 2025 and targets completion around the fourth quarter of 2027. Cora Merrick Park began construction in April 2026, after securing a $67.5 million construction loan reported by The Real Deal, and targets completion in 2028. A buyer who wants to be in sooner has a clearer path at Ponce Park, while Cora Merrick Park offers a slightly longer horizon at an earlier-stage price. As always, pre-construction delivery dates are developer estimates and can shift during the construction cycle.
Who Should Pick Which
Pick Ponce Park if you want larger residences, a park-front Coral Gables address, and an earlier delivery, and you are comfortable with a higher entry point. Pick Cora Merrick Park if you want a wellness-focused building, a lower entry point, and more flexibility on unit size, and you are comfortable with a 2028 horizon. Both put you in Coral Gables boutique product, where the scarcity of new supply is the underlying asset that matters most for long-term value.
"In Coral Gables, the question is rarely which building is 'better.' It is which trade-off fits you: Ponce Park's larger homes and earlier delivery, or Cora Merrick Park's wellness focus and lower entry. I tell buyers to request both developer packages and compare deposit structures and unit-line layouts before signing either."Gerardo Gonzalez, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Compass
My Recommendation
If your priority is space, an earlier move-in, and a marquee park-front address, Ponce Park is the stronger fit. If your priority is a wellness-led building at the lowest entry point in either project, Cora Merrick Park is the practical pick. Either way, in a low-supply Gables market the best-positioned unit lines go first. Read the full pages for each: Ponce Park Residences and Cora Merrick Park.
