Life at Kempinski Residences Miami
Kempinski is one of Europe's most prestigious hospitality brands — with hotels across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The brand's first U.S. residential debut in Miami Design District positions it alongside Fouquet's Miami as the second branded residential introduction to the neighborhood.
First U.S. Kempinski Residences
Kempinski Residences Miami Design District marks the iconic European luxury hospitality brand's first U.S. branded residences — significant entry into the American luxury residential market.
Arquitectonica Architecture
Designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia's Arquitectonica (founded 1977) — the Miami-headquartered global firm has shaped Miami's skyline with 14 of the city's 50 tallest buildings including Brickell City Centre.
David Rockwell Interiors
Interior design by David Rockwell's award-winning studio — known for 15 Hudson Yards, Nobu Downtown, and Equinox Hotel. Rockwell brings hospitality-led residential design.
4 Villas with Ocean Access
138 residences plus 4 villas with ocean access — an unusual hybrid program offering both vertical and villa-style ownership.
Kempinski European Heritage

Kempinski Residences Miami Investment & Market Outlook
Why Design District Pre-Construction Outperforms
South Florida pre-construction has historically delivered double-digit appreciation between contract and delivery, especially in branded residences. Design District specifically has seen sustained demand from international buyers seeking US dollar-denominated real estate, tax advantages from Florida's no-income-tax structure, and currency hedging against home-market inflation.
Branded residences like Kempinski Residences Miami typically command 25–35% price premiums over comparable non-branded inventory in the same submarket, and resale price retention has consistently outpaced the broader Miami condo index over the past decade.
Friends & Family Pricing
As pre-construction specialists with direct developer relationships, we offer qualified buyers access to friends-and-family pricing — typically 4–8% below current public release pricing — along with extended deposit schedules, custom unit selection, and priority on the most desirable exposures and floors.
Deposit Structure
Standard Design District pre-construction deposit structures range from 20% at contract to 50% by delivery, with milestone payments at groundbreaking, top-off, and certificate of occupancy. Kempinski Residences Miami follows the Design District market standard. Our team can walk you through the full deposit schedule and any current developer incentives reducing the at-contract deposit requirement.
How to Reserve a Residence at Kempinski Residences Miami
Pre-construction purchases follow a different path than resale transactions. Here's what to expect, step by step.
-
01
Initial Consultation
We start with a 30-minute call to understand your goals — primary residence, investment, legacy asset — and walk you through current availability, pricing tiers, and the floor plans best suited to your needs.
-
02
Floor Plan Selection & Reservation
Once you've narrowed your selection, a refundable reservation deposit (typically $25,000–$100,000) holds your residence for 14–30 days while contracts are prepared. You'll receive the full developer reservation package and the most current pricing for your specific unit.
-
03
Contract & First Deposit
The purchase contract is executed with the developer, and the first deposit (typically 10–20% of the purchase price) is wired to the developer's escrow account at a Florida-licensed institution. All funds are protected under Florida pre-construction escrow law until milestones are reached.
-
04
Construction Milestones
Subsequent deposits are released as construction reaches defined milestones — typically groundbreaking, top-off, and certificate of occupancy. You'll receive quarterly construction updates, photo documentation, and the option to tour the unit once interiors are roughed in.
-
05
Closing & Delivery
At closing, the final balance is funded (cash or financing via approved lenders), title transfers, and you receive keys. Closing typically occurs 30–60 days after the developer issues the certificate of occupancy. Move-in coordination, designer access, and Mercedes-Benz/Bentley/Armani concierge enrollment all happen at this stage.
