The Design District has the galleries, the restaurants and two hundred boutiques. What it did not have was a place to live at this level. Kempinski is the first.
This page is the transaction, not the brochure. What the developer has stated about Kempinski, how a purchase is actually structured, where the building sits, and what the desk at Miami Dossier can put in front of you within the hour. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is described here as the developer describes it, row by row, with nothing added. Where a row is missing it is because the developer has not stated it, not because the desk has an opinion about it.

Entry price. Entry pricing is released by the developer on request, and the desk quotes it the same day.
A purchase at a building like this runs in a fixed order. A reservation holds a residence while the purchase agreement and the condominium documents are read. The contract is signed with the developer, and Florida law gives the buyer of a new condominium fifteen days after signing and receiving the documents to cancel without penalty. Deposits are then staged through construction rather than paid at once, and closing happens when the building is complete and the residence can be delivered.
Deposits are held in escrow under Florida law, and the portion above ten per cent may be released to the developer for construction if the contract says so. Which schedule applies, how many stages there are and when each falls due is set by the developer for each release, and it changes. The desk quotes the current schedule on request rather than printing one that will be out of date within the month.
What is fixed is the shape: reserve, read, sign, stage the deposits, close on delivery. What moves is the schedule and the inventory, and those are the two things the desk keeps current.
DaGrosa Capital Development Partners commissioned Arquitectonica for the two towers, Rockwell Group for the interiors and Enea for the gardens, and put Kempinski, the oldest luxury hotel group in Europe, in charge of running the building day to day. What follows is the record, and our read of it.
The dossier on Kempinski carries the full record, the plans as issued and the position on the map. This page is the transaction; the dossier is the building.
The current availability as the developer releases it, read residence by residence rather than as a list. The deposit schedule for the release in question, with the dates. The plan sheets for the lines that fit the brief. The association budget and the documents a buyer’s attorney will want before the fifteen days run.
None of this is on the page because all of it changes. Write to the desk at Miami Dossier with the building and the questions, and the reply already carries the answers.
The purchase agreement is the developer’s document and is read with a Florida real estate attorney, not with the sales gallery. The condominium documents set the budget, the assessments and the rules, and they are read before the fifteen days end, not after. The delivery date is whatever the developer currently states in its own material; it is a statement, not a promise, and the desk reports it as stated with the date it was stated.
The desk describes the building and structures the purchase. It does not forecast the market, rank buildings or tell anyone what to avoid. Where a question is legal or tax, the desk introduces independent advisers rather than answering it.
This is the desk at Miami Dossier, a real estate desk covering the Miami market. It reads the developer’s documents, keeps the current position on every building it covers, and structures a purchase so that the property side is not the part that goes wrong.
A private report on the Miami market, sent when there is something worth knowing. No noise, no listings, no pressure.
Received. A note from the desk is on its way. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, please check your spam folder and mark it as not spam, so we can reach you.
Nothing on this page is legal, tax or investment advice, and every figure is as the developer stated it on the date noted. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will go through the current position on Kempinski, the deposit schedule for the release in question and what is actually available. Where a question is legal, tax or immigration, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
