The Note
30 August 2026

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. 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 island

Fisher Island is a private island of roughly 216 acres south of the tip of Miami Beach, separated from it by Government Cut, reached only by a resident ferry from the mainland at the foot of the MacArthur Causeway. It carries the Fisher Island Club, with a beach club, a golf course, tennis, a spa, restaurants and two deep-water marinas, and a collection of low-rise condominium buildings developed since the 1980s. It has no bridge and no public access.

The site

Roughly 6.5 acres at 6 Fisher Island Drive, the island's final developable parcel, on the site of the Vanderbilt family's former retreat, with roughly 650 linear feet of shoreline facing the Atlantic and the bay.

The building

Ten storeys, designed by Kobi Karp Architecture, with Coastal Construction as general contractor. Groundbreaking September 2024; tower cranes removed August 2026 as construction entered its final stage.

Where these facts come from

This note is compiled from the developer's published material for The Residences at Six Fisher Island, 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.

The questions around the building

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about The Residences at Six Fisher Island 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 Residences at Six Fisher Island fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.

A Note on Advice

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.

The Desk

Everything in this note has a solution.

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.
