Every new tower is built next to the next one. At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, here is how to read what will be loud, for how long, and from which side.
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 first owners move in while the amenity floors, the retail and the last residences are being finished. Expect months of contractor traffic, a service elevator in heavy use and work hours set by the association. Ask the developer which phases will be incomplete at first occupancy and the schedule to finish them.

The city’s permit record and the county’s zoning map say what can rise beside you and what has already been filed. A parcel with a building permit is two to four years of work: demolition and piling are the loudest months, the structure is next, the finish is quiet. The desk reads the permits around every building it covers.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach: 1671 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, oceanfront in South Beach proper, adjacent to the Lincoln Road corridor.
Miami-Dade and the cities set construction hours by ordinance, with weekday limits and tighter rules on weekends; piling and heavy equipment have their own limits. Rules bound the noise; they do not remove it.
Lines facing an active parcel hear it; lines facing the water or a finished neighbour mostly do not. Lower floors hear street work; upper floors hear crane and structure work carried on the wind. Impact glass cuts a great deal; open terrace doors give it back.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach: 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.
Ask what is permitted next door before you ask what the view is.
