Most buyers of new Miami towers do not live in Miami. At Faena Residences Miami the purchase works the same from anywhere; what changes is the paperwork around the money and the title.
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.
Deposits are wired to the escrow agent named in the contract in US dollars; the developer never takes cash and the escrow agent will ask for the source of funds under US rules. A buyer abroad opens or uses a US-dollar account early, because the first deposit is usually due within days of signing.
Faena Residences Miami: The deposit schedule is held by the desk and read with you before contract.

A non-resident may hold a Florida residence personally, through a trust, or through a company, domestic or foreign. Each changes the estate-tax exposure, the income-tax treatment of rent, and the FIRPTA withholding at sale, which takes a percentage of the gross price at closing unless an exemption applies. These are structuring questions; the desk introduces counsel and an accountant before contract, not after.
Faena Residences Miami: One- to four-bedroom residences plus River Lofts; interiors from 711 square feet for a one-bedroom per the June 2026 availability sheet; total residence count not in the filed materials.
Contracts, disclosures and closing documents are signed remotely; notarization follows US rules for documents executed abroad. Many buyers visit once, at the sales gallery or at delivery; some never do. The desk walks the site, films the view line, and reads the documents with you by video.
Faena Residences Miami: Faena District, Miami River; sales gallery at 90 SW 3rd St, Miami, FL 33130.

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.
The Miami Dossier team works for the buyer, not the developer. Every agent on Samuel Strauch’s team represents buyers in Miami pre-construction.
A person replies within 24 hours, usually much sooner. On weekends, back on Monday morning.
