Water intrusion at The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach: testing the facade, the terraces and the windows before anyone moves in

Rain in Miami arrives sideways, for hours, driven by storm winds. At The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach, here is how to read whether the envelope was tested against it, and what the record says.

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 New Building Has A Record

It starts during construction.

A tower with no owners yet still has a water record: field tests on window and wall assemblies, leaks found and fixed while the floors were open to the weather, and claims on the developer’s and contractor’s earlier buildings. Ask who designed the envelope at The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach, who the waterproofing consultant is, and whether the envelope test reports pass to the association at turnover.

Windows And Walls

Tested in place, not only in a lab.

Impact windows and curtain wall carry laboratory ratings, but water usually enters at the joints: glass to frame, frame to slab, sealant to concrete. Field tests spray installed samples under pressure, usually by the ASTM E1105 method, to show whether the installation performs as rated. Ask how many tests ran at The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach, which failed, and what was changed afterwards.

Terraces, Roofs, Below Grade

Where water sits and waits.

A terrace is a roof over someone else’s home. Ask what membrane lies under the pavers at The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach, whether each drain has an overflow, and how high the door sills sit above the terrace surface. Garages and lower levels in Miami sit close to the water table, so ask how the levels below grade are waterproofed, which pumps keep them dry, and whether those pumps run on the generator.

After Closing

Who repairs what.

A leak through a common element, such as the facade or a terrace membrane, is usually the association’s repair; damage inside the residence follows the declaration and the owners’ own policies. Mould can start within a day or two in a warm residence closed for the summer, so leak sensors and automatic shutoff valves earn their place here. The desk asks the developer of The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach for the envelope test summary in writing.

Every tower takes water somewhere once. The record shows who found it first.
