Inside the ownership model at Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences 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 Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences 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.

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 buyer’s counsel’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.

Who Owns What

The developer entity, the brand, the association.

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. 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 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 Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 143 residences of one to four bedrooms with private terraces, many with dens, in a 25 storey tower; the denominator of every assessment is that count, weighted as the declaration sets it.

The Brand Layer, Legally

A licence, not a deed.

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. 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.
