The deed says what you own. The commitment says what you own it subject to. At Villa Miami, here is how to read both, and what the water adds.
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 condominium buyer takes title to a residence and a share of the common elements, as the declaration describes them. New towers are usually conveyed by special warranty deed, which covers only claims from the developer’s own years of ownership. Older claims fall to the title insurer, so the owner’s policy matters more at a new building like Villa Miami, not less.
Villa Miami: 55 floors, 49 of them residential, three of club · ~70 homes by the public record, every one a half floor or a full floor · a three level penthouse at the crown.
The Villa Miami dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison.
Before closing at Villa Miami, the title agent issues a commitment. One schedule lists what must happen first: the construction loan released from your residence, liens cleared, the deed recorded. The other lists the exceptions the policy will not cover. Typical ones in a new Miami tower: the declaration, easements, any shared facilities agreement with a hotel or commercial owner, city covenants, and the year’s taxes. Read each one.
Villa Miami: Terra with One Thousand Group · developer of record 710 Edge Property LLC.
Villa Miami: Villa, under licence from Major Food Group · the building programmed and serviced by MFG · the restaurant, dock and helipad sit in commercial components sold separately, so their operation is not guaranteed.
In Florida the bed of navigable water below the mean high water line belongs to the state. The upland owner holds riparian rights: access, a view, and a dock once permitted. In a condominium like Villa Miami those rights usually sit with the association, not with one residence. A dock may stand partly on state submerged land under a lease, and slips may be limited common elements, sold separately, or licensed on terms that can end. On a beach, the coastal construction control line limits building seaward of it.
Villa Miami: 700 NE 29th Street, East Edgewater · bay frontage on two sides of the building · 360 degree views across the bay, the ocean and the skyline · the Baywalk at the door, the Design District a few minutes west.
Which exceptions will the owner’s policy carry, and can any be removed? Are the dock and slips on a submerged land lease, and how are slips allocated? Is any part of the site seaward of the control line? The desk reads the commitment for Villa Miami with you and introduces counsel for the legal opinion.
The deed names what you bought. The exceptions name what came with it.
