The buyer’s evidence checklist for Caretta: what to verify before anything is wired

Counsel does not want a brochure. Counsel wants a list of documents with dates. This is that list for Caretta.

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.

Who This Is For

Written for the buyer’s counsel.

Caretta is at US Highway 1 and Donald Ross, Juno Beach; 10 minutes to Jupiter Inlet, 15 to Palm Beach Gardens, 25 to Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport; more than 15 restaurants within two blocks. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison. This page is the buyer’s counsel’s reading of it, as a framework to verify, never as a finding.

The record, in the developer’s words: Development: JDL, Chicago-based luxury residential developer led by principal Jim Letchinger; more than 3,000 units built, known for 9 Walton and One Chicago. Position: US Highway 1 and Donald Ross, Juno Beach; 10 minutes to Jupiter Inlet, 15 to Palm Beach Gardens, 25 to Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport; more than 15 restaurants within two blocks. Residences: 95 luxury residences; architectural-grade fixtures, freestanding tubs, custom stone vanities, recessed LED lighting; bedroom mix and size ranges not published in the intake materials. Amenity: 24/7 concierge and maintenance; beach setup service; housekeeping; in-home dining; dog walking; car detailing; dry cleaning; handyman; package assistance; lock-and-leave services; resident lounge, bar and party room with demonstration kitchen; private amenity facility for massage, yoga, pilates and private events.

Compare as you read: Alba Palm Beach and Banyan Tree Residences answer the same questions differently, and the desk holds the documents for all three.

Before Anything Is Wired

The evidence list.

A list, not an opinion. For each line: the document, the source, the date. Evidence is what a family can show its counsel, its insurer and its bank.

The Building

Identity and program.

Developer of record and marketing developer: JDL, Chicago-based luxury residential developer led by principal Jim Letchinger; more than 3,000 units built, known for 9 Walton and One Chicago. Design: as recorded. Program: 95 luxury residences; architectural-grade fixtures, freestanding tubs, custom stone vanities, recessed LED lighting; bedroom mix and size ranges not published in the intake materials. Position: US Highway 1 and Donald Ross, Juno Beach; 10 minutes to Jupiter Inlet, 15 to Palm Beach Gardens, 25 to Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport; more than 15 restaurants within two blocks. Each line has a source in the dossier; ask for the document behind any line you intend to rely on.

The Money

What is published and what is not.

The developer’s published entry price is held by the desk. Current pricing, availability and the deposit schedule are not published anywhere by design; they change weekly and are read with the buyer one to one. Evidence here is the current price sheet with its date, the deposit schedule as a contract exhibit, and the closing-cost estimate in writing.

The Brand And The Manager

Term, fee, exit.

As the dossier records. Evidence: the licence or management agreement, its term, the fee mechanism, and what happens on termination.

The Checklist

Twelve lines.

Purchase agreement with escrow terms · deposit schedule as exhibit · offering documents and declaration · first budget with reserves · reserve study schedule · management or brand agreement and term · rules on guests, tenants, pets · the current price sheet, dated · the plan for your line, dated · the finish schedule · the warranty terms · the developer’s published materials as of contract date.

If a line has no document, it is not evidence yet.
