Whether Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami approves buyers and tenants is set by its declaration, not by the sales team. Many Florida condominiums require approval of later sales and of leases, some keep a right of first refusal, and the developer’s own sales are usually exempt. Here is what each provision means, and what it changes about renting or reselling later.
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 Florida condominium can require its association to approve a sale, a lease or a long stay, if the declaration says so. The purpose is control. Owners in a small or very private building often want a say in who joins them; a building with an active rental market may want to know who sleeps in it. Two towers on the same street can differ completely.
The size of the community the board screens for: ~360 branded residences across a 100 story tower, with hotel guestrooms and suites. Who runs the front desk that keeps the list: Hilton Worldwide, under license of the Waldorf Astoria name.

The developer’s own sales are usually exempt from approval and from any right of first refusal, so a buyer of a new home at Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami is rarely screened by the association on the first day. The provisions bite later: on whoever buys from you, on your tenants, and sometimes on your heirs or on the company you hold the home through. A buyer taking title in an entity should ask whether the association will want to approve the people behind it, and whether a change in who owns the entity counts as a transfer.
The developer whose documents set these terms: Property Markets Group · Greybrook Realty Partners · S2 Development · Mohari Hospitality.
A right of first refusal lets the association, or a buyer it names, take over a sale or a lease on the same terms the owner agreed with someone else. It is rarely used, but it adds days to every resale. Read how many days the association has to decide, whether the right covers leases as well as sales, and which transfers are exempt: gifts within a family, a move into a trust, a lender taking the home after foreclosure.
What a later buyer of a home at Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami will be screened into: Furnished junior suites, and 1 to 4 bedroom private residences. Where it stands: Downtown Miami · unobstructed views of downtown, Miami Beach, and the Atlantic.
An approval usually means an application, a background check, sometimes an interview, and a fee. Florida law limits that fee and allows it only where the documents require approval. Ask how long the association has to answer, whether silence counts as approval, and what happens on a refusal: some declarations oblige the association to buy the home or produce another buyer on the same terms, others do not. For leases, ask the minimum term and how often a home may be leased in a year, and note that Florida law limits how far a later amendment restricting leasing reaches owners who bought before it. The shared spaces every approved resident uses: Peacock Alley, resort pool with cafe and cabanas, private residential pool deck, owners lounge with panoramic bay views, signature restaurant, all day brasserie, private bar and wine tasting room, signature spa, fitness center with private studios, kids club. The desk reads the transfer and leasing articles of the declaration for Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami with you and your counsel before contract.
A building that screens its owners protects you, and screens your buyer too. Read both sides.
