The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach penthouses

A branded residence on the bay side rather than the ocean side, which changes the product more than buyers expect.

This page describes the residence. Whether it is available, and on what terms, changes without notice. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

The Residence

What sits at the top of the building.

The upper residences of a low rise development designed by Piero Lissoni, on the Miami Beach waterway rather than the Atlantic, with a marina and boat slips.

Being on the bay side rather than the ocean means western exposure, sunsets and calmer water, and it means no beach.

Bay side and ocean side are different products at similar prices, and the choice is not about quality.

What The Public Record Says

Figures, and what kind of figure each one is.

We publish no figure. No closed penthouse sale or reported contract here has appeared in the public record we have found.

The building is delivered and has traded, so recorded comparables exist within it. Those are the figures to use.

Comparing a bay side branded residence to an oceanfront one on price alone is comparing different products.

The Building Underneath

A penthouse is only as good as the building it crowns.

A delivered low rise development with a marina, private villas and boat slips, in a lower and more horizontal register than the towers on the ocean.

Piero Lissoni is a designer of genuine standing and the building reflects a restrained Italian modernism rather than the resort vocabulary common in this market.

Ritz-Carlton branding brings a defined service standard with a defined and permanent cost.

What The Drawing Does Not Tell You

The part a sales gallery does not lead with.

Boat slips are a separate question from residences. Establish whether a slip is included, deeded, licensed or leased, what size vessel it accommodates and what it costs, because these vary enormously.

Waterway frontage means marine traffic, and it means the water view is closer and busier than an ocean outlook. Visit at a weekend afternoon.

Ask what the Ritz-Carlton agreement obligates after closing, for how long, at what annual cost, and what happens if the relationship ends.

The Shift

Decide bay or ocean before you compare prices.

These are different products serving different lives, and comparing them on price per foot obscures the only question that matters, which is whether you want a beach or a boat. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will go through both sides of the island properly.

Current availability at the top of the building. Whether the residence described here is spoken for, and what else sits on the upper floors.
The rooftop instrument. Whether private outdoor space is deeded, a limited common element, or licensed, which decides what you own and who repairs it.
Floor plan analysis. What the drawing gives you once column placement, ceiling drops and usable outdoor area are read properly.
Where we would not proceed. Sometimes the answer is another building. Sometimes it is not now.

Common Questions

What buyers ask about this residence

Is the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach on the ocean?
No. It sits on the Miami Beach waterway on the bay side, with a marina and boat slips rather than a beach. That gives western exposure and sunsets, and calmer water.
Are boat slips included?
That varies. Establish whether a slip is included, deeded, licensed or leased, what vessel size it accommodates and what it costs, because the arrangements differ substantially.
Who designed it?
Piero Lissoni, in a restrained Italian modernist register rather than the resort vocabulary common in this market. The development is low rise rather than a tower.
What do the penthouses cost?
No closed sale or reported contract has appeared in the public record we have found. The building is delivered and has traded, so recorded comparables within it exist and are the right figures to use.
How does bay side compare to oceanfront?
They are different products rather than tiers. Bay side gives sunsets, calmer water and boating access; oceanfront gives the beach and sunrise. Compare them on how you will live rather than on price per foot.
Before You Act On Any Of This

A beach or a boat. Decide first.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what is actually available at the top of this building, what the last comparable trade was, and where we would not proceed. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
