What goes in the ownership file for a Design District or Wynwood condo?

For the buyer of a new home beside the galleries who wants every paper in one place before the first deposit and long after the deed is recorded, in a district where each building is a different kind of purchase.

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.

The short answer

Start with the condominium documents, the estimated budget, the plans by line and the purchase agreement with its deposit schedule; add the deposit receipts, the title commitment, the insurance binder and the closing statement; finish with the recorded deed, the owner's title policy and the warranties. Then add what each building brings. At Kempinski Residences: the licence and management agreement for a brand with no hotel on the site, and the guest suite terms. At Fouquet's: the offering filing, CPS-12 file CP26-0012, the hotel's shared facilities and the staged deposit structure. At NoMad Residences Wynwood: the furniture inventory, the rental rules and the price list that applied when you signed, because the building is finished and the file starts at the contract.

What goes in the file before you sign?

For a new condominium bought from the developer, Florida law gives the buyer 15 days to cancel after signing or after receiving the required documents, whichever is later. These are the papers to read inside that window:

The declaration of condominium, which defines your home, the common elements, and the limited common elements such as a parking space, a storage room or a terrace.

The articles, bylaws and rules, including leasing minimums, guest registration, pets and staff.

The estimated operating budget, with the lines for staff, the brand fee, management, insurance and reserves.

The plans by line, with the areas as the documents define them, which differ from the brochure's.

The purchase agreement and deposit schedule, naming the escrow agent and what may be released to construction.

Our page on the condominium documents in five sections shows where to look, where your deposit actually sits explains escrow, and what should you ask before reserving in the Design District or Wynwood covers the stage before the contract.

What does Kempinski Residences add?

The licence without a hotel. The developer, DaGrosa Capital Development Partners, publishes the Kempinski name under licence with daily management by Kempinski Group and no hotel on the site. File the summary of the licence and the management agreement: the term, who pays the fee, what the association may do if the brand leaves, and what the building keeps. A brand that manages without a hotel is a service contract; read it as one. Read the brand licence at Kempinski.

The guest suites. The developer publishes 18 guest suites sold to residents only. File how a suite is owned, whether it is a separate unit on the deed, what its share of the budget is, and the rules on who may stay. If you buy one, it has its own line in every document on this page.

The towers and the bridge. About 132 residences sit in two 23 story towers joined by a fourth floor amenity bridge, with six townhomes. File the plan that shows which tower your line is in and the declaration's allocation of the bridge's cost between the towers.

The position. The developer publishes bay and skyline views to the east and states the site is not waterfront. File the plan of your line with the exposure marked. The building note on the Kempinski ownership file goes deeper.

What does Fouquet's add?

The offering filing. The developer's offering is filed as CPS-12, file CP26-0012, by RFD MDD Residences LLC. File the number and the filed documents; they are the record of what was offered, and the name on the agreement, the escrow receipts and the deed must be that entity.

The developers. Raycliff Capital, Fort Partners, Miami Design District Associates and Constellation Hotels Holding are named. File who signs for the developer and who holds the construction loan when it is placed. Read what a developer's construction loan tells you.

The deposit stages. The developer publishes deposits staged at contract, groundbreaking and top off, with the majority at closing, held in escrow under Florida's condominium statute. File each stage's receipt and the escrow agent's letter; the schedule itself is in the purchase agreement.

The hotel. Fouquet's operates the hotel with owner access to hotel services and amenities, two restaurants, a bar, a patisserie and the spas. File the shared facilities agreement: what owners pay for the hotel's floors, what the hotel pays for the owners', and how the rooftop pool and the resident-only outdoor space are allocated. Read the brand licence at Fouquet's and the Fouquet's ownership file.

What does NoMad Residences Wynwood add?

The price list and the contract. The building opened in May 2026 and the developer's price list of 7 August 2026 carried nine remaining units. There is no reservation stage; the file starts at the purchase agreement. File the list that applied when you signed and the unit you chose.

The furniture inventory. Every residence is sold fully furnished and curated by DesignAgency. File the inventory for your home, the condition at delivery and the warranty on the furnishings, and the bill of sale that conveys them, because a deed carries only real property. Read how to take title at NoMad.

The rental rules. The developer describes the building as short-term-rental-friendly. File the declaration's lease section, the city's registration requirements, the rooftop restaurant's access terms and the rules for guests arriving under a rental. Read NoMad's short-term rental rules and Miami short-term rental rules.

The operator. NoMad is a Sydell Group brand, in its first residences anywhere, with Related Group and Tricap as developers. File the licence summary and the restaurant operator's agreement, including the separate elevator's rules. Read the NoMad ownership file.

What do you add before closing, and after?

Before closing: the closing notice, any amendments to the documents, the title commitment, the insurance binder for your interior and contents, the association's master policy summary, your inspection report and punch list, and the closing statement. Our page on documents before closing on a new Miami condo covers each.

After closing: the recorded deed, the owner's title policy, the developer's statutory warranties and the manufacturers' warranties, the furniture warranty at NoMad, the association's yearly budgets and insurance summaries, each property tax bill, the rental registrations if you let the home, and the homestead filing if the home is your permanent residence.

You keep the file; your adviser keeps a copy. The Design District zone page places the three buildings, and which new condos in the Design District and Wynwood are best compares them; for the Downtown version of this file, read the ownership file for a Downtown Miami branded condo. The desk reads the licence, the budget and the deposit stages with you before the 15 days end.
