A delivery date in a brochure is an estimate. The one that binds is in the contract, and it is later. At Alba Palm Beach, here is how to read both.
This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
The brochure gives a season or a year.

Everything between the two dates is the developer’s discretion, and the difference can be a year or more.

Groundbreaking, foundation, the first residential floor poured, topping off, glass closed, interiors begun, the temporary certificate of occupancy. Each is a date a developer publishes or a site photograph shows. A buyer who tracks them knows before the sales office calls.
Alba Palm Beach: BGI Companies (developer) with Blue Road (co-developer).
Deposits stay in escrow for longer; a mortgage rate lock may expire; a lease may need extending; a currency may move. None of this is in the brochure. The contract says what the developer owes you for lateness, which is usually nothing until the outside date.

What is the outside date in the contract, and what are my rights if it passes? The desk has the contract and reads the clause with you.
Plan for the outside date. Celebrate the estimate if it comes true.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed.
