A condominium is three ownerships stacked on one another. This is how they stack at South Flagler House, and where each one is written down.
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.
South Flagler House is at 1355 South Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach; 3.4 acres, 28 storeys, two towers (Park Tower, Lake Tower), private porte-cochere. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison. This page is the buyer’s counsel’s reading of it, as a framework to verify, never as a finding.

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.
Related Ross, led by CEO and Chairman Stephen M. Ross. No brand licence is recorded. The association is created by the declaration and is owned by the unit owners from turnover; until then the developer controls it.
Three parties, three sets of rights. The purchase agreement binds you to the first; the licence binds the building to the second; the declaration binds you to the third for as long as you own.
A condominium unit is the air and finishes inside the walls; the walls, the structure, the amenities and the land are common elements owned in undivided shares. The share sets your vote and your slice of every budget and every assessment.
For South Flagler House: Park Residences (floors 1 to 3): one- and two-bedroom configurations, about 1,800 to 3,000 square feet of interior space, facing the Norton Sculpture Garden; first-floor homes with private outdoor gardens; approximately 80 percent sold; the denominator of every assessment is that count, weighted as the declaration sets it.
Where a brand is attached, it is a licence. A licence has a term, a fee and an exit. The name on the building is not an asset the owners hold; it is a contract the association or the developer holds, and it can end.
You own the unit. You share the building. You rent the name.
Florida law transfers control of the association from the developer to the owners on a schedule tied to sales; at turnover the owners receive the books, the contracts and the reserves as the developer left them. The first owner board inherits the management contract, the brand licence and the budget. Ask what the developer will hand over, and when.
The declaration and bylaws. The purchase agreement. The estimated first budget and the reserve schedule. The management or brand agreement and its term. The rules on leasing, guests and pets. The turnover provisions.
