For the household leaving a Boston winter and a brownstone's worth of stairs for the ocean side of one island: three stretches of the same beach, three different buildings, and a purchase that closes on Florida's documents, not Massachusetts'.
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.
Three Miami Beach buildings on our file fit three different Boston households, one for each stretch of the island. Ocean Terrace is the quiet end: two towers at 7400 Ocean Terrace in North Beach, across about 5 acres of parkland, From $3,250,000, developer published entry price as carried on the live dossier, verified 2026-09-19. The Perigon is the Mid-Beach architecture buy: about 73 homes by OMA at 5333 Collins Avenue, From $12,500,000, developer published entry price as carried on the live dossier, verified 2026-09-19. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is the small hotel-adjacent form: 30 homes over 15 storeys at 1671 Collins Avenue, delivery planned 2027, with no published entry price. The Massachusetts mechanics are below as questions for counsel. The island is mapped on the Miami Beach zone pages, with North Beach and South Beach read separately.
The same five questions, from the developers' published material only.

The full read is The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach: what to know before you buy.
Ocean Terrace suits the household that wants the beach without the scene: a park between the tower and the sand, curved glass following the coastline, a tea room and a morning garden in the amenity list, and Surfside and Bal Harbour a few minutes north. What it asks of you is patience with an unpublished calendar; the material carries no delivery date to plan the move around. The Perigon suits the household buying a piece of architecture first and a resort second: diamond shaped tiers, wraparound terraces, a beachfront pool, and no hotel program sharing the site with the owners. What it asks of you is the island's highest published entry price of the three, paid for a building whose amenity ledger is carried by about 73 homes. The Ritz-Carlton suits the household that wants the smallest count and a service floor under it: 30 homes, a lap pool and cabanas on its amenity level, and a hotel's programming next door. What it asks of you is a start from a release on request, because no entry price is published to plan from. The first calls are framed in who should I call about buying in North Beach and in who should I call about buying in South Beach, and the sibling reads are relocating from Boston to Brickell and relocating from Boston to West Palm Beach.
The contract can be signed in Boston; the closing can be run from there too, and three mechanics decide how cleanly. First, the signer: a Florida purchase agreement is signed by the buyer named on it, and a household that will take title in a trust or a company settles that before the reservation, because the assignment clause and its fee govern a change later. Second, the developer sale's own clock: on signing and receiving the condominium documents, Florida's cancellation window runs 15 days, and that window is when the estimated budget, the declaration and the developer's reserved rights get read with counsel, not after it. Third, the money: deposits go to the developer's escrow on the schedule the contract sets, and a wire from a Boston bank whose account name does not match the buyer is the kind of detail that holds a closing up. On a finished building the association's estoppel certificate states what is owed on the home and is ordered for closing. The distance questions are read in LLC, trust or personal name and in where your deposit actually sits.
Massachusetts taxes income; Florida does not. Whether a family that keeps a Boston house, a Boston office or children in a Boston school has actually moved its domicile is a question of facts, not of a deed, and it is counsel's, as read in does buying a Miami condo make you a Florida resident. What a deed does change is the property tax: the bill resets on the sale, a new building's first full bill arrives after it is assessed, and the homestead exemption is applied for, not automatic, following a primary residence the owner lives in at the start of the tax year. For the Ritz-Carlton buyer, a delivery planned for 2027 sets the first year that filing can arise; for the other two buildings the material carries no date, so the household plans the move on the contract's outside date instead. Every other buyer question is collected in the questions buyers ask.
