A restaurant in the building is a pleasure and a front door for strangers. At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, here is how to tell which one you are buying.
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.
A residents-only dining room is a common element: the association runs it or hires an operator, and its cost sits in the budget whether owners eat there or not. A hotel restaurant serves the public, with residents as favoured guests. A leased restaurant sits in a commercial unit and answers to its own landlord. The declaration says which applies.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach: 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.

If the restaurant is a common element, owners pay for it and, after turnover, decide about it. If it is commercial or hotel space, a shared facilities agreement usually sets what the residential association pays toward lobbies, loading and security. Read it for the cost formula and for who may change it.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach: 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.
A public restaurant brings diners, couriers and event guests into the building. Ask whether it has its own street entrance, whether elevators are shared and whether deliveries avoid residential corridors. Late hours and kitchen exhaust reach the residences nearest to them.
Ask whether residents hold reservation priority, whether their guests book as residents, whether the room can be taken for a private dinner, and whether any minimum spend sits in the budget. These live in the rules or the operator’s agreement, not the brochure.
Know who else walks through your lobby before you sign for it.

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.
