The neighbourhood, the tower, the residences, the service platform and the numbers behind Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami, compiled by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer documents.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier, which holds the developer brochure and the floor plans for Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami, for readers who want the facts of the building rather than the adjectives. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. All notes from the desk.
This is the reference note. It is the building described plainly, from the ground up, with the figures we can attribute to the developer documents and nothing we cannot. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current as the release changes. A companion note on the practical decisions is linked at the end.
Downtown Miami is the historic centre of the city, on Biscayne Bay between the Miami River and Brickell to the south and Edgewater to the north. Bayfront Park, Museum Park, the Kaseya Center, the Adrienne Arsht Center and the Brightline station are within walking distance, and the causeways to Miami Beach begin here.
One hundred storeys, with unobstructed views of Downtown, Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the Atlantic. Conceived by Carlos Ott as a stack of offset volumes; Sieger Suarez Architects is the architect of record.

The desk at Miami Dossier holds the official Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami brochure, the floor plans by line, and the current release. We do not represent the developer and we hold no position in the building. When we are not certain of a figure we say so, and when the release changes we update this note.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami 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 Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami 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 Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against Casa Bella by B&B Italia and against The St Regis Residences Miami, Brickell, and sets it beside every other building in Downtown Miami on the Downtown Miami cluster. If the question underneath yours is really how to read a developer's record before a long build, start there instead.
