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.
A milestone structural inspection by an engineer when a building reaches a set age, earlier near the coast. A structural integrity reserve study on a schedule. Reserves for structural items that may not be waived. The regime binds the association, which means it binds the budget every owner pays into.
Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 143 residences of one to four bedrooms with private terraces, many with dens, in a 25 storey tower.. David Chipperfield Architects, 2023 Pritzker Architecture Prize.

The estimated first budget showing structural reserves as a funded line. The schedule for the first reserve study. The developer’s structural warranty terms. The engineer of record and the inspection the building passed at completion.
