The stretch, the site, the restored hotel, the tower, the residences and the numbers behind The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, compiled by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public record.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, for readers who want the facts of the building rather than the adjectives. Figures are given in ranges where sources differ. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. All notes from the desk.
This is the reference note. It is the building described plainly, from the ground up, with the figures we can attribute to the developer's published material and the public record, given in ranges where sources differ, and on this project several do, including the storey count and the developer credit. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current as the release changes. A companion note on the practical decisions is linked at the end.
The 1600 block of Collins Avenue is the middle of South Beach: Lincoln Road a block west, the Delano, the National and the Setai as neighbours, the Art Deco district to the south and the Faena District a few minutes north, with the beach directly across the road. It is the most walkable oceanfront address in Miami and also the busiest.
1671 Collins Avenue, the site of the Sagamore Hotel, a historic building on the Collins frontage. Published material describes the Sagamore being restored and preserved, with the new residential tower rising behind it.
Published at 15 storeys in some material and 19 in others, a difference the desk at Miami Dossier has not been able to reconcile and states as a range. Architecture by Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design. Landscape by Naturalficial.
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.
Roughly 30 residences from one to five bedrooms, including two duplex penthouses with private rooftop pools and terraces. Ceilings published at roughly ten feet with floor-to-ceiling glass to the Atlantic and Miami Beach. Private elevator entry in most homes. Interiors by Studio Munge, led by Alessandro Munge.
A private rooftop pool and terrace with sun loungers; a Technogym fitness centre with treatment and training rooms; four semi-private cabanas; a poolside social lounge; an entertainment lounge with a dining table and chef's kitchen overlooking the gardens; a residents' beach club with dedicated cabana service, lounges and umbrellas. Published material describes eleven meeting and event spaces of more than 20,000 square feet including a ballroom, with on-site catering led by José Andrés.
Published material credits the development variously to Sobe Sky Development and to a group comprising Lionstone Development, Flag Luxury Group and the Ben-Josef Group. The desk at Miami Dossier has not reconciled these credits from public sources and states both rather than choosing one; confirm against the offering documents.
1671 Collins Avenue. Published at 15 to 19 storeys. Roughly 30 residences. One to five bedrooms. Two duplex penthouses with rooftop pools. Ceilings roughly ten feet. The restored Sagamore Hotel on the Collins frontage. Target end of 2027. Figures are from the developer's published material and the public record and are approximate; the storey count and the developer credit differ between sources and should be confirmed against the offering documents.
This note is compiled from the developer's published material for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, the public construction record and the reporting around it, cross-referenced so that no figure rests on a single source. Where sources differ the note gives a range rather than a number. The desk at Miami Dossier obtains the current floor plans, release and deposit schedule directly on request and reads them with buyers; anything material should be confirmed against the developer's own documents. We do not represent the developer and we hold no position in the building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about The Ritz-Carlton Residences South 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 The Ritz-Carlton Residences South 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.
Nobody chooses The Ritz-Carlton Residences South Beach in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against The Shore Club Private Collection and against The Ritz-Carlton Residences North Bay Village, and sets it beside every other building in South Beach on the South Beach cluster. If the question underneath yours is really what a brand is obliged to do after closing, start there instead.
