A buyer’s mortgage is only as available as the building’s approval. At NoMad Residences Wynwood, here is the Fannie Mae question and why it matters before you sign.
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.
Most conventional mortgages are sold to Fannie Mae, which buys only loans on condominiums that meet its project standards: owner-occupancy ratios, reserve funding, no pending litigation that threatens the structure, commercial space within limits, and a completed building in most cases. If the project is not approved, the buyer’s lender usually cannot sell the loan, which means the lender will not make it, or will price it as a portfolio loan.
Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.
Fannie Mae generally reviews established projects, not buildings under construction. A pre-construction buyer signs years before any approval exists, which is one reason pre-construction contracts carry no financing contingency: nobody can promise the building will be warrantable at closing. What can be checked now is the developer’s record with prior towers and whether the project’s structure, litigation profile, and commercial mix fit the standards.
Has the developer delivered prior towers that achieved approval. Is there pending litigation or structural work that would fail a project review. What share of the building is commercial or hotel use. The desk asks these in writing and keeps the answers with the file; where the question is a lending decision, it introduces a lender rather than answering.
Which lenders have reviewed this building, and what do they need to see at closing. The desk holds the current position.
The building gets the loan approved before you do.

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.
