A new tower is a network with residences attached. At Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami, here is who controls that network and what to change the day the keys arrive.
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 building runs access control, cameras, intercom, the package room, elevator dispatch and the building management system. The residence may add lighting, shades, climate, audio, locks and a door camera, often on one app. The building layer belongs to the association; the residence layer belongs to you, though the developer’s integrator usually installed both.
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.
Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.
Ask who holds administrator access to each system, whether the integrator keeps remote access after delivery, and what the association’s vendor contracts say about security updates and incident response. A system no one updates is a door no one watches.
Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 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.
Access systems log every entry; cameras record common areas; some buildings use facial recognition or phone credentials. Ask how long records are kept, who may view them, and what the written privacy policy says. For a family that values discretion, the access log is as sensitive as the deed.
Ask whether residence networks are separated from the building network and from each other. At delivery, list every connected device, take ownership of the router and the app accounts, change every default password, reset lock and gate codes, and remove the installer’s access unless a service contract needs it.
Fouquet’s Hotel & Residences Miami: 143 residences of one to four bedrooms with private terraces, many with dens, in a 25 storey tower.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. On this topic that means the document before the opinion. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
