The developer of Banyan Tree Residences is 400 Hibiscus Acquisitions, LLC; presented as Mast Capital and Curated JCZM Development. The design is by OMA (architecture); Yabu Pushelberg (interiors); Enea Landscape Architecture. That is the brochure answer. The contract answer is a company formed for this one project, and the warranty, the deposits and the delivery date rest on it. Here is who signs, who draws, who builds, who lends, and what each has finished before.
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.
Three names sit on a new tower like Banyan Tree Residences and one of them signs your contract. The brand lends its name under a licence. The sponsor raises the money and runs the project. The seller is a company formed for this one building, usually a Florida limited liability company with the project in its name, which holds the land and sells the homes. Your purchase agreement names that company, and so does the deed. The sponsor stands behind it by reputation, not by law, unless a guarantee is written in. Ask who the seller of Banyan Tree Residences is and who manages it. Who stands behind Banyan Tree Residences: 400 Hibiscus Acquisitions, LLC; presented as Mast Capital and Curated JCZM Development. The name on the door, which is a separate agreement: Banyan Tree (Banyan Group); owners join The Sanctuary Club with priority access and preferred rates across more than 100 Banyan Group properties in more than 20 countries; a dedicated 24-hour host and service team trained in Banyan Tree hospitality.

A design architect gives the building its shape and its name in the press. A Florida licensed architect of record seals the drawings and answers to the building department; often they are not the same firm. An interior designer chooses what you touch. The general contractor turns the drawings into a building, and its record of finishing towers on time in this county matters as much as anyone’s. Ask for all four names behind Banyan Tree Residences in writing and for one finished building by each. The team at Banyan Tree Residences: OMA (architecture); Yabu Pushelberg (interiors); Enea Landscape Architecture. What they are drawing: 88 private residences plus a penthouse collection: one- to four-bedroom corner residences with wraparound terraces, 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling impact glass, direct elevator entry in most; Yabu Pushelberg kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf; primary baths with rain shower and sculptural freestanding tubs. The spaces they are shaping: A full floor of wellness and spa: reflection and meditation garden, treatment rooms, rainforest showers, hammam, steam, sauna, soaking baths, cold plunge, cryotherapy, meditation dome, ice fountain; signature pool and cabanas; juice bar; garden bar and lounge; open-air cinema; golf simulator; speakeasy; rooftop amenity deck; children’s discovery garden; pet retreat; putting green.
The record behind Banyan Tree Residences is a list of earlier buildings with four facts each: when it was promised, when it opened, how turnover to the owners went, and what the owners did afterwards. The first two live in old brochures and the county’s certificates of occupancy, the third in the association’s records, the fourth in the court docket, because owners who found defects sue the seller company, and a sponsor with several such cases has a pattern. Florida gives owners an implied warranty from the developer for three years from the building’s completion, so the question is whether the seller company still exists, with assets, when the three years run. Ask what the sponsor has completed in South Florida in ten years, and go to one. The homes being promised this time: The homes are as the dossier records.
A construction loan recorded against the land under Banyan Tree Residences says a bank has read the budget and the sales, and its covenants set the presales the project needs before the cranes move. Ask whether it has closed, and what it is building: 88 private residences plus a penthouse collection: one- to four-bedroom corner residences with wraparound terraces, 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling impact glass, direct elevator entry in most; Yabu Pushelberg kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf; primary baths with rain shower and sculptural freestanding tubs. Your deposits go first to an escrow agent named in the contract, under Florida’s condominium law, which protects the first ten percent and lets the contract say what happens to the rest; the agent’s name is worth knowing too. The land itself is the parcel at 400 Hibiscus Street, West Palm Beach, FL 33401; downtown, moments from the Intracoastal Waterway, near Worth Avenue, CityPlace and Royal Poinciana Plaza. What the contract asks of you while the building is a drawing: The deposit schedule is held by the desk and read with you before contract.
The trade-off is the famous name against the steady one. A brand and a star architect raise the price and the resale pool; neither builds the tower or pays the warranty. A plain developer with six finished buildings and no brand gives Banyan Tree Residences a thinner brochure and a thicker record. The desk puts the seller company, the sponsor’s finished buildings, the loan and the court search for Banyan Tree Residences in front of you before contract, and introduces counsel where a question is legal.
The brand is on the lobby wall. The developer is on the contract. Read the contract.
