Four questions come up in every first conversation about Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami. Here they are in order, with what the record says and what the record does not.
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.
Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami is at 39 NE 39th Street, Miami, in the Design District, on nearly two acres; the rooftop pool overlooks the Intracoastal and South Beach. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison. This page is the first-time Miami buyer’s reading of it, as a framework to verify, never as a finding.
The record, in the developer’s words: Development: Raycliff Capital, Fort Partners, Miami Design District Associates (Dacra, L Catterton Real Estate, Brookfield Properties) and Constellation Hotels Holding; developer entity RFD MDD Residences LLC; sales by Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group; offering filed CPS-12, file CP26-0012. Architecture: David Chipperfield Architects, 2023 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Interiors: RDAI; landscape by Perry Guillot. Brand: Fouquet’s, the signature brand of the Barrière Group, Paris flagship on the Champs-Élysées since 1899, Miami after Fouquet’s New York (Tribeca, 2022); Fouquet’s operates the hotel with owner access to hotel services and amenities.
Compare as you read: Kempinski Residences Miami Design District and Alba Palm Beach answer the same questions differently, and the desk holds the documents for all three.
Staged across milestones (contract, groundbreaking, top off) with the majority at closing, per the offering materials; held in escrow under Florida condominium statute; the schedule itself is held by the desk. Florida law requires deposits to sit in escrow, and lets a developer use amounts above ten percent for construction with the right disclosures; the question is which account, which conditions, and what the contract says if delivery is late.
143 residences of one to four bedrooms with private terraces, many with dens, in a 25 storey tower. A delivery date in a brochure is an estimate; the outside date is in the purchase agreement, and the difference between the two is where buyers get surprised. Ask for the outside date, the milestone the developer has reached today, and the penalty if the outside date passes.
More than 40,000 square feet indoor and outdoor; a 70 foot rooftop pool; about 15,300 square feet of resident only outdoor space plus a shared hotel terrace; men’s and women’s spas; two restaurants, a bar and a patisserie. Every amenity has a line in the first budget: staffing, insurance, reserves, and any brand or management fee. Fouquet’s, the signature brand of the Barrière Group, Paris flagship on the Champs-Élysées since 1899, Miami after Fouquet’s New York (Tribeca, 2022); Fouquet’s operates the hotel with owner access to hotel services and amenities Ask for the estimated first budget by line and for the reserve schedule; the law now watches the reserves.
Private terraces; hurricane rated floor to ceiling windows; below grade valet and self parking; a 28 foot lobby with lounge; 24 hour concierge. The second buyer is the same kind of person as the first, arriving three to five years later into a building where every neighbour closed at once. The lines that hold value are the ones the first buyers fought over. Ask which lines went first in the current release.
