Buying pre-construction in Florida typically starts with registering interest early, which can provide priority access to floor plans, pricing and early-release incentives before a project is broadly marketed. For a development like Azalea Cay, which is still in its first phase of construction, early registrants are often among the first to receive updated information as unit details and pricing are finalized.
Pre-construction purchases generally involve a deposit structure paid in stages over the course of construction, followed by a distinction between interim occupancy (when a resident may move in before the building's final legal closing) and final closing itself, particularly relevant for condominium-style ownership. Buyers should confirm with the builder how deposits and closing are structured for Azalea Cay specifically, since these terms vary by project and by unit type.
Florida law provides a specific buyer protection for new condominium purchases: under Florida Statute 718.503, buyers of new condo units generally have a 15-day rescission period after receiving the required disclosure documents, during which they may cancel their purchase contract. Buyers should confirm with the builder or their own legal counsel whether this protection applies to their specific purchase at Azalea Cay, and should not rely on general information in place of professional legal advice.
