Every new Miami tower has a generator. The question is what it runs, for how long, and whether your floor is on it. At Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, 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.
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.
The Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against The Perigon dossier for the nearest comparison.
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.

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.
