Generator coverage and storm resilience at Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: what runs when the grid does not

Every new Miami tower has a generator. The question is what it runs, for how long, and whether your floor is on it. At Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami, here is how to find out.

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.

What Code Requires

Life safety, not comfort.

Florida code requires emergency power for life-safety systems: fire pumps, alarms, exit lighting, at least one elevator for firefighters. It does not require power to your apartment, your air conditioning or the pool. Everything beyond the minimum is a developer choice, and it is written in the specifications, not the brochure.

Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.

What To Ask For

Six specifics.

Which elevators run on emergency power, and for the residential floors or only service. Whether any residential circuits are on the generator. Fuel capacity in hours. Whether the domestic water pumps are covered. Whether the lobby and amenity cooling are covered. Whether the generator can be refuelled during a declared emergency.

Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 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.

The Envelope

Glass and water.

Impact-rated glazing is standard in new Miami towers; the rating and the water intrusion testing are in the specifications. Ask for the product approvals and whether the terrace doors are rated to the same standard as the windows.

Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: Private terraces; hurricane rated floor to ceiling windows; below grade valet and self parking; a 28 foot lobby with lounge; 24 hour concierge.

The Desk Question

One sentence.

What exactly does the generator serve, and for how long? The desk asks the developer in writing and keeps the answer with the file.

Resilience is a specification. Ask for the page.
