Ocean Terrace is two towers inside approximately five acres of oceanfront parkland at 7400 Ocean Terrace in North Beach, Miami Beach, by Witkoff and Ocean Terrace Holdings, with RAMSA interiors, Revuelta towers, Enea gardens and a public park by Raymond Jungles, holding ~52 boutique residences, ~24 furnished resort residences and a 42-key hotel. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier, which holds the developer brochure, the floor plans and the current release for Ocean Terrace, for buyers comparing the northern Miami Beach oceanfront. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. All notes from the desk.
The desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly, and Ocean Terrace is one of them. What follows is not a brochure summary. It is the list of reasons buyers actually give when they choose this building, in the order we hear them, with the facts behind each one.
The towers sit inside approximately five acres of gardens and a new public park, adjoining Altos del Mar and North Beach Oceanside Park, rather than on a strip beside Collins Avenue. Land like this is a rare condition on the island and it predates any developer's plans. This is the reason the desk at Miami Dossier reads Ocean Terrace as a land decision before it reads it as a design one.
Two towers face approximately 350 feet of ocean across the park. Few residential sites on Miami Beach hold that much frontage, and none on this stretch.
North Beach is low, green and residential, with Surfside, Bal Harbour and Indian Creek a few minutes north. It has been the quiet end of the island for decades and Ocean Terrace is the project that decides what it becomes.
Your situation is specific. Tell the desk in one message and we will say what applies to you, what does not, and who to speak with.
Robert A.M. Stern Architects, whose reputation rests on 15 Central Park West, designed the interiors rather than the shell. Parquet de Versailles floors, oak and white stone, a library off the lobby: the rooms carry that classical order.
Revuelta Architecture International designed the two towers as curved glass forms that follow the shore, with private elevator landings and floor-to-ceiling glass. They are the contemporary half of the pairing with RAMSA.
Enzo Enea designed the gardens and Raymond Jungles designed Ocean Terrace Park, the public park at the heart of the site. Two of the reference landscape practices for Miami on one parcel.
The boutique tower holds approximately 52 homes across twenty storeys, each entered from a private elevator landing, with RAMSA white-oak kitchens, white marble islands and vein-cut stone baths. Two five-bedroom duplex penthouses extend to private rooftops with a lap pool and a hydrotherapy spa.
The second tower holds approximately 24 resort residences delivered fully appointed by RAMSA, with curved terraces and oak millwork. This is the turnkey proposition for a home used seasonally or placed in the hotel's care.
A boutique hotel of 42 keys in a restored Art Deco building, a private members' club with spa, and approximately 15,000 square feet of street-level retail bring service to a corner of the island that has had little. The fifth-floor Ocean Terrace carries an approximately 75-foot lap pool, a therapy pool, garden cabanas, a sunrise restaurant and a pool bar.
Witkoff, with Ocean Terrace Holdings, is the developer here and at The Shoreclub Private Collection in South Beach. On a preconstruction purchase the record matters more than the render. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery history and shares it on request.
The developer brochure, the floor plans by tower, the current release and the deposit schedule, and our own floor plan analysis. None of it is published here because it changes. Ask for it and it arrives from the desk at Miami Dossier the same day, usually by WhatsApp, with our opinion attached, whether that opinion is Ocean Terrace or another building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Ocean Terrace North Beach are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.
The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.
Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how Ocean Terrace North Beach fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.
This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.
Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.
Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.
