A view is not a right. It is the absence, today, of a building next door. At Banyan Tree Residences, here is how to know whether that absence will last.
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.
No Florida contract guarantees a view. What protects one is the water, a park, a protected site, or a neighbouring parcel already built to its limit. What threatens one is a parcel that can still rise.
Banyan Tree Residences: 400 Hibiscus Street, West Palm Beach, FL 33401; downtown, moments from the Intracoastal Waterway, near Worth Avenue, CityPlace and Royal Poinciana Plaza.
Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.
The county’s zoning map says what each neighbouring parcel may build in height and density; the property appraiser says who owns it; the city’s permit record says what has been filed. The desk does this read for every building it covers and names the parcels that matter.
Banyan Tree Residences: 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.. Lines facing water or a protected site keep their views; lines facing an under-built parcel are the ones to price for change. Higher floors clear more; corners see two ways.
Which parcels beside this building can still rise, and which lines face them? The answer is a map, and the desk holds it.
Buy the view that cannot be built out, or price in the one that can.

Received. A note from the desk is on its way. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, please check your spam folder and mark it as not spam, so we can reach you.
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. On this topic that means the document before the opinion. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
