Buying at Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami from abroad: the wire, the entity, FIRPTA and the visit you may never need

Most buyers of new Miami towers do not live in Miami. At Fouquet’s Hotel & 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.

The Money

Wires, source of funds, the account.

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.

Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 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.

Title And Taxes

Person, trust, company.

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.

Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 143 residences of one to four bedrooms with private terraces, many with dens, in a 25 storey tower.

Signing And Visiting

Remote closing is normal.

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.

Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 39 NE 39th Street, Miami, in the Design District, on nearly two acres; the rooftop pool overlooks the Intracoastal and South Beach.

The Desk Question

One sentence.

Which structure should I ask counsel about before I sign, and what will the escrow agent need from me? The desk knows the answers for this building and introduces the advisers.

The ocean is the same from any passport. The paperwork is not.
