Four questions come up in every first conversation about The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach. Here they are in order, with what the record says and what the record does not.
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 Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is at 1671 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, oceanfront in South Beach proper, adjacent to the Lincoln Road corridor. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison. This page is the first-time Miami buyer’s reading of it, as a framework to verify, never as a finding.
The record, in the developer’s words: Development: Sobe Sky Development LLC with Flag Luxury Group; sales and marketing by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. Architecture: Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design. Interiors: Studio Munge, design director Alessandro Munge; landscape by Naturalficial. Brand: The Ritz-Carlton name under licence to Sobe Sky Development LLC; not owned, developed or sold by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company; direct access to the Sagamore, the all suite addition to The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach; owner benefits at more than 700 Marriott International luxury hotels, subject to availability.
Compare as you read: Alba Palm Beach and Banyan Tree Residences answer the same questions differently, and the desk holds the documents for all three.
The developer’s deposit schedule for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is a contract exhibit held by the desk and read with you before signing; it is not published. Florida law requires deposits to sit in escrow, and lets a developer use amounts above ten percent for construction with the right disclosures; the question is which account, which conditions, and what the contract says if delivery is late.
30 residences over 15 storeys, one to five bedrooms, including two duplex penthouses with private rooftop terraces, pools and kitchens; sales launched February 2025; delivery planned 2027. A delivery date in a brochure is an estimate; the outside date is in the purchase agreement, and the difference between the two is where buyers get surprised. Ask for the outside date, the milestone the developer has reached today, and the penalty if the outside date passes.
More than 50,000 square feet: a private double height lobby, 24 hour doorman, concierge and valet, a Level 7 amenity floor with a private lap pool and four semi private cabanas, a Technogym fitness centre, a residents’ beach club with cabana service; restaurant and beach club programming by Jose Andres; à la carte in residence dining, personal chef, trainer, spa, childcare and pet care. Every amenity has a line in the first budget: staffing, insurance, reserves, and any brand or management fee. The Ritz-Carlton name under licence to Sobe Sky Development LLC; not owned, developed or sold by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company; direct access to the Sagamore, the all suite addition to The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach; owner benefits at more than 700 Marriott International luxury hotels, subject to availability Ask for the estimated first budget by line and for the reserve schedule; the law now watches the reserves.
Private elevator with direct entry in most residences; wrap around terraces with glass railings; ten foot ceilings; floor to ceiling windows with Miami-Dade NOA rated systems; Gaggenau appliances; Bianco Rhino marble kitchens; Covelano Silver Gold marble primary baths. The second buyer is the same kind of person as the first, arriving three to five years later into a building where every neighbour closed at once. The lines that hold value are the ones the first buyers fought over. Ask which lines went first in the current release.
