Inside the ownership model at Delano Residences & Hotel Miami: the unit, the association and the name on the door

A condominium is three ownerships stacked on one another. This is how they stack at Delano Residences & Hotel Miami, and where each one is written down.

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.

Delano Residences & Hotel Miami is at Fourth and Biscayne, Downtown Miami · views of downtown, Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the Atlantic. The Delano Residences & Hotel Miami dossier holds the developer’s published record. 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: Property Markets Group · sales and marketing by PMG Residential. Architecture: Carlos Ott, conceptual artist · CUBE3, architecture. Interiors: Meyer Davis, interior design and architecture. Brand: Delano, under licence, with Ennismore and Accor as project team · hotel and residences in one tower.

Compare as you read: Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami and Anantara Residences Miami answer the same questions differently, and the desk holds the documents for all three.

Who Owns What

The developer entity, the brand, the association.

Property Markets Group · sales and marketing by PMG Residential. Delano, under licence, with Ennismore and Accor as project team · hotel and residences in one tower The association is created by the declaration and is owned by the unit owners from turnover; until then the developer controls it.

Three parties, three sets of rights. The purchase agreement binds you to the first; the licence binds the building to the second; the declaration binds you to the third for as long as you own.

What A Unit Owner Actually Holds

The unit, an undivided share, and a vote.

A condominium unit is the air and finishes inside the walls; the walls, the structure, the amenities and the land are common elements owned in undivided shares. The share sets your vote and your slice of every budget and every assessment.

For Delano Residences & Hotel Miami: ~421 fully finished residences across a ~90 story tower, with hotel below; the denominator of every assessment is that count, weighted as the declaration sets it.

The Brand Layer, Legally

A licence, not a deed.

Delano, under licence, with Ennismore and Accor as project team · hotel and residences in one tower. A licence has a term, a fee and an exit. The name on the building is not an asset the owners hold; it is a contract the association or the developer holds, and it can end.

You own the unit. You share the building. You rent the name.

Turnover

When the owners take the association.

Florida law transfers control of the association from the developer to the owners on a schedule tied to sales; at turnover the owners receive the books, the contracts and the reserves as the developer left them. The first owner board inherits the management contract, the brand licence and the budget. Ask what the developer will hand over, and when.

The Ownership Model Checklist

Six documents.

The declaration and bylaws. The purchase agreement. The estimated first budget and the reserve schedule. The management or brand agreement and its term. The rules on leasing, guests and pets. The turnover provisions.
