For the buyer who will use the apartment for part of the year and wants it to earn the rest, and needs to know which building was built for that before the first tour.
This page explains. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
One of the three was built to be rented and two were not. NoMad Residences Wynwood is fully furnished and short-term-rental friendly by the developer's own description, 329 homes from studios to two bedrooms with a rooftop NoMad restaurant and bar, nine left on the August 2026 list, From $815,900. Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is a two to four bedroom building managed by Kempinski with no hotel on the site, From $3,700,000; its rental rules are in the declaration, not the brochure, and must be read before contract. Fouquet's Hotel and Residences has a hotel in the tower and 143 homes, pricing on request; whether an owner may place a home in short stays, and through whom, is a question for the developer in writing. What an owner may earn is not on this page, because nobody can publish it honestly.
The same five questions, from the developers' published material:
NoMad Residences Wynwood. Price point: From $815,900 per the developer price list of 7 August 2026. Delivery: opened May 2026.

For the general comparison read the best new condos in the Design District and Wynwood; for the family's version, Design District or Wynwood for a family.
Three documents, in this order. The declaration of condominium sets the minimum lease term, the number of leases a year and whether the association approves tenants; this is the rule that survives the brochure. The city's zoning and licensing for the address set whether stays under a set number of days are lawful there at all, and what licence and tax registration a host needs; Wynwood and the Design District are in the City of Miami and the rule follows the parcel, not the brand. The brand or management agreement says whether a hotel or operator runs the rental program, takes a share and sets the standard of furnishing. Read Miami short-term rental rules and buying a condo in Miami to rent out, then ask each developer for all three papers. The building notes on short-term rental rules at NoMad, at Kempinski and at Fouquet's carry the questions for each.
The developer sells NoMad as a furnished, short-term-rental-friendly building: every residence furnished and curated by DesignAgency, a rooftop restaurant and bar with its own elevator that does not need the building to fill it, a 24 hour concierge, security and valet, and Casa Tua Cucina at ground level. That is a hospitality floor plate with condominium title. What it means for an owner is that the neighbours are guests by design, the furniture is part of the purchase, and the building's rules are written for turnover. Ask who manages the stays, what the fee split is, whether an owner may use a different platform, and how many nights an owner may block for personal use. Read NoMad Residences: the buyer and tenant approval question and from offer to recording on a furnished Miami condo, because a furnished sale carries a bill of sale beside the deed.
A buyer at Kempinski who wants to lease a home for a season is in a different market: two to four bedroom homes with private elevator lobbies and ten foot terraces, no hotel, and a management company whose job is the residents. The declaration's minimum lease term and its approval process are the questions, and so is whether the 18 guest suites, sold to residents only, may be let. At Fouquet's the question turns on the hotel: whether an owner may hand a home to the hotel's program, what the hotel takes, and whether the building separates hotel traffic from owners who do not participate. Neither developer publishes a rental program on our file, which is the point: the brochure is silent and the declaration is not. Read buyer and tenant approval at Kempinski and at Fouquet's.
Furnishing and replacement, a licence and the tourist tax registration where short stays are lawful, the operator's share, the association's move-in and cleaning rules, an insurance policy written for rental use rather than owner use, and income tax on the rent, which for a foreign owner has its own filing. None of that is a forecast; all of it is a line on a page the owner should write before contract. Read what it costs to own a condo in Miami each year and owning from abroad: property management, and take the tax lines to an accountant.
NoMad suits the buyer who wants a furnished Wynwood apartment that can be let by the night under the building's own program, and will live with guests as neighbours. You give up space, quiet and the choice of your own furniture. Read is NoMad worth it.
Kempinski suits the buyer who will lease a family-sized home by the season, if the declaration allows it, in a building whose lobby belongs to residents. You give up nightly rental and accept an approval process. Read the Kempinski dossier.
Fouquet's suits the buyer who wants a hotel to run the home when empty, if the developer confirms a program in writing. You give up control of the standard and a share of the rent. Read Fouquet's: what to know before you buy.
The Miami Design District zone page maps the district; who should I call, buying in the Design District names the first call. The desk reads the declaration's lease clause and the rental program with the buyer before the deposit.
