The Shoreclub Private Collection is approximately 49 homes on three oceanfront acres at 1901 Collins Avenue in South Beach, by Witkoff with Auberge Resorts Collection, designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects behind the landmarked Cromwell House facade. 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 The Shoreclub Private Collection, for buyers comparing the top of the South 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 The Shoreclub Private Collection 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.
Sites of this size on the South Beach oceanfront are not assembled anymore; they are inherited. The Shoreclub occupies approximately three acres at 1901 Collins Avenue, on the sand, and that position predates any developer's plans. Buyers who understand Miami understand that finishes can be copied by the next tower and three acres of South Beach oceanfront cannot. This is the reason the desk at Miami Dossier reads the Shoreclub as an allocation decision before it reads it as a lifestyle one.
The original MiMo facade of the Cromwell House is preserved and landmarked, and the new tower rises behind it. You cannot develop heritage. The nautical curve, the sculptural columns and the procession from lobby through gardens to sand are kept.
RAMSA is the design architect and the residential interior architect. The firm built 15 Central Park West and 220 Central Park South, two of the most durable residential addresses in New York, and its reputation rests on buildings that hold value across decades rather than launch cycles. It is an unusual choice for Miami and a deliberate one.
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.
Approximately 49 residences on three oceanfront acres is a density most developers would never accept. The curved seamless glass of the tower produces an organic geometry, and the practical effect is that no two floor plans repeat exactly. The scarcity is the product.
The Tower, 18 storeys of residences with panoramic ocean or bay views. The House, duplexes and a deluxe penthouse reimagined behind the original facade. And The Beach House, a single-family home designed to sit with the landscape on the sand. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the plans for all three.
Auberge is the hospitality partner. Its properties are small, high-service and residential in character rather than convention-scale, which is the right operator for a collection of ~49 homes. The spa and the Beauty Atelier are Auberge's.
Most residences in the Tower are entered directly from the elevator. Great rooms carry ten-foot ceilings with sliding glass to sweeping terraces with curved glass railings.
The kitchens are RAMSA-designed: warm wood, marble slab and polished steel. The interior architecture is by KKAID, the hotel interiors by Bryan O'Sullivan Studio. Select homes have private plunge pools with direct ocean views.
The residential pool sits within a botanical garden by Island Planning Corporation, with lap and leisure pools, a beach club with cabanas, a private residential gym, a library lounge with a grand piano, a private meeting suite and a children's playroom. All sized for ~49 households.
Witkoff is a New York developer with a record of large and complex projects, and in Miami Beach it also holds Ocean Terrace in North 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 form, the current release and the deposit schedule, and our own floor plan analysis. None of it is published here because it changes, and because availability in a collection this small is thin. 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 the Shoreclub or another building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about The Shoreclub Private Collection 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 Shoreclub Private Collection 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 Shore Club Private Collection in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against The Ritz-Carlton Residences South Beach, 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.
