The name on the tower is licensed for a term, not owned. At Continuum 12000, here is who signed for it, what owners pay to keep it, and what the papers say about the day it leaves.
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.
In most branded towers the brand neither owns the building nor sells the residences. It licenses its name to the developer under a written agreement, and often a second agreement gives the brand, or an affiliate, the job of managing the association. Owners are usually not parties to either one. The offering documents for Continuum 12000 should describe the arrangement and say whether owners may read the licence itself or only a summary.

A licence comes with standards: staffing levels, service hours, the finish of lobbies and amenity rooms, sometimes approved suppliers. Meeting them costs money, and the association pays most of it. Ask whether the brand can require upgrades to the common areas at Continuum 12000, how often, and whether owners vote on that spending or the standards settle it for them.
Continuum 12000: The Mermaid Club, about 150,000 square feet: saltwater pool with cabanas, 4,200 square foot fitness centre, yoga, Pilates, meditation and sound-bath studio, contrast therapy, longevity lounge, spa suite, private dining, co-working and a 24/7 marketplace; 1.5-acre waterfront playground with a marina, floating yoga deck, watersports dock, pickleball, multi-sport court and golf simulators.
The brand may be paid through a management fee, a licence fee or both: a fixed sum, a share of the budget, or a formula that steps up each year. Find the line in the proposed budget for Continuum 12000, read the formula behind it, and ask whether any brand fee is charged when a residence is resold or rented. A fee set as a share of the budget moves with every other line in it.
Every licence has a term and grounds for ending early: missed standards, unpaid fees, a sale of the project, or a brand that decides to withdraw. Ask how long the licence at Continuum 12000 runs, who may end it, and what happens to signage, services and the website if it ends. Florida’s condominium statute gives owners a route to cancel certain contracts signed while the developer controlled the association; counsel confirms which apply here. The desk asks the developer of Continuum 12000 for the licence summary in writing.
The name is licensed for a term. The building is yours for good.
