The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach introduces an exceptionally private collection of just 30 custom-designed oceanfront residences at 1671 Collins Avenue, directly along one of the most iconic stretches of Miami Beach. Rising 15 stories beside The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach and the reimagined historic Sagamore, the development combines panoramic Atlantic Ocean views, boutique residential scale and legendary Ritz-Carlton service within the cultural and architectural heart of South Beach.
One- through five-bedroom residences and two extraordinary duplex penthouses are designed by Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, with interiors by Alessandro Munge of Studio Munge, landscaping by Naturalficial and a culinary program led by Michelin-starred chef José Andrés. More than 50,000 square feet of private and shared resort amenities support a residential population of only 30 homes.
The residences are currently in development with anticipated completion in 2028.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach has been conceived around the idea of creating “beach houses in the sky” rather than conventional condominium units.
Only 30 homes occupy the entire tower, allowing floor plans to emphasize privacy, substantial indoor-outdoor living, panoramic views and a far more intimate residential atmosphere than typically found along Collins Avenue.
The current residential collection includes:
The limited residence count is one of the property's greatest luxuries. This is not a large hotel-condominium complex with hundreds of privately owned units. It is a 30-home residential enclave supported by the infrastructure and service capabilities of The Ritz-Carlton.
Interiors are by Alessandro Munge and Studio Munge, whose work combines refined hospitality design with the warmth and permanence expected of a private home.
The residences use luminous natural materials, hand-selected stone and sophisticated detailing intended to complement rather than compete with the surrounding ocean and Miami Beach light.
Residential features include:
The design is deliberately sophisticated without feeling overly formal, making the residences appropriate for seasonal use, extended stays or a true Miami Beach home.
Architecture is by Kobi Karp, whose design draws inspiration from both the property's oceanfront position and the architectural legacy of Miami Beach.
Karp specifically references the work of legendary architect Morris Lapidus, whose mid-century hotels helped define Miami Beach's visual identity, while translating those references into a contemporary oceanfront residential building.
Rather than creating a generic glass tower that could exist in any global city, The Ritz-Carlton Residences is designed to feel connected to South Beach itself—its light, ocean, history and architecture.
At the top of the residential collection are just two duplex penthouses, each conceived as a private estate above Miami Beach.
The penthouses include private rooftop terraces with their own:
One currently published five-bedroom penthouse plan offers approximately 4,520 interior square feet plus 1,040 square feet of exterior living, for approximately 5,560 total square feet.
These homes should be evaluated separately from the standard residential collection because they offer a completely different level of privacy, outdoor living and architectural significance.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences provides more than 50,000 square feet of bespoke five-star amenities—an extraordinary amount of infrastructure for a residential population of only 30 homes.
Private residential amenities include:
The ratio between residences and amenities is particularly compelling. Owners receive the infrastructure of a major luxury resort while sharing the dedicated residential environment with only a few dozen neighbors.
The private residential amenity environment includes an elevated pool terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Residents enjoy:
The experience is distinct from the broader Ritz-Carlton hotel pool environment, giving residence owners a dedicated place to retreat from the more active hotel and beachfront atmosphere.
Direct access to Miami Beach is a central part of the ownership experience.
Residents enjoy access to a dedicated beach club with cabana service, beach lounges and umbrellas, supported by Ritz-Carlton staff.
This turns the Atlantic shoreline into an extension of the residence rather than simply a view from above.
An owner can move seamlessly between:
residence → pool → beach club → Atlantic Ocean
without leaving the property.
The culinary program is led by José Andrés, the Michelin-starred chef and internationally recognized restaurateur and humanitarian.
Residents have privileged access to a collection of dining experiences at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach including:
This is an important differentiator because the dining infrastructure exists directly within the broader property.
Owners can enjoy restaurant-level food and beverage without needing to leave home—and can also bring that culinary program privately into their residence when entertaining.
Residential ownership also provides access to the broader Ritz-Carlton Spa, currently featuring 14 treatment rooms together with the hotel's wellness and fitness programming.
Combined with the residences' private Technogym fitness center and personal treatment rooms, owners can choose between a quieter private residential wellness experience or the broader services of a full Ritz-Carlton resort.
Another distinctive element is the relationship with the historic Sagamore Hotel, which is being incorporated as a newly renovated all-suite addition to The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach.
This creates a broader hospitality ecosystem directly around the residences while preserving the dedicated residential environment.
For owners hosting extended family or friends, the adjacent hotel infrastructure can also be particularly valuable: visitors can remain within the same Ritz-Carlton property without requiring every guest to stay inside the private residence.
The residences are supported by the service culture for which The Ritz-Carlton is internationally recognized.
Core services include:
For seasonal owners maintaining multiple residences, that service platform creates a particularly compelling lock-and-leave Miami Beach home.
The owner receives the location and privacy of a beachfront condominium without taking on the operational burden of independently managing a large oceanfront property.
Location is one of the project's strongest assets.
The residences sit at 1671 Collins Avenue, directly on the Atlantic Ocean and immediately adjacent to Lincoln Road.
This places residents within walking distance of many of South Beach's most established dining, shopping, cultural and entertainment destinations while retaining direct beachfront living.
Nearby destinations include:
The ability to combine true beachfront living with genuine walkability is increasingly rare within Miami's newest luxury developments.
Many Miami buyers face a tradeoff.
They can choose a newer building elsewhere in Miami with modern residences and amenities, or they can choose South Beach for its location and lifestyle but accept older condominium inventory.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences offers another option:
new construction + direct oceanfront + Ritz-Carlton service + South Beach walkability.
That combination gives it a particularly strong position for buyers who specifically want to live in Miami Beach rather than simply see Miami Beach from across the bay.
The limited collection of only 30 residences should be emphasized throughout the page because it fundamentally changes the ownership experience.
There are fewer neighbors using the elevators, pool, gym, lounges, concierge, valet and beach club.
There is greater potential for staff to know owners personally.
And the development can support an enormous amount of service and amenity infrastructure without creating the feel of a large resort complex.
For many ultra-luxury buyers, that scarcity and intimacy are more meaningful than sheer tower height.
This is also where I would differentiate the project from Miami's larger Ritz-Carlton and branded-residential offerings.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is not trying to create an enormous master-planned resort.
Its strengths are:
30 residences + direct Atlantic frontage + South Beach location + hotel infrastructure next door + private residential amenities.
That makes it particularly appealing to someone who wants a highly serviced Miami Beach residence but does not want to live among several hundred other owners.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is currently in development with anticipated completion in 2028. Current published availability includes one- through five-bedroom residences and two duplex penthouses.

Pricing and remaining inventory are subject to change as sales and development progress.
For current The Ritz-Carlton Residences South Beach pricing, remaining residences, floor plans, duplex penthouse opportunities, deposit structure and private buyer representation, contact Johnathan Shirey for the latest developer information and a direct comparison with other ultra-luxury oceanfront opportunities throughout Miami Beach, Surfside and Bal Harbour.
The project is planned on the oceanfront at the eastern end of Lincoln Road in South Beach, commonly marketed as 1669–1671 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. Buyers should verify the legal address and parcel description in the current offering documents.
Flag Luxury Group is identified as the developer/owner. Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design is the architect, and Studio Munge is the interior designer. The project is licensed to use The Ritz-Carlton brand; Marriott International is not the developer or seller.
Current project materials describe 30 oceanfront “beach houses” with one- to five-bedroom layouts, including two duplex penthouses. The penthouses are marketed with private rooftops, pools, and outdoor kitchens; unit-specific dimensions should be checked on the latest floor plans.
Project materials describe more than 50,000 square feet of amenities, including oceanfront leisure and wellness spaces and resident-focused hospitality. The precise amenity program, operating hours, fees, and reservation rules should be confirmed in the prospectus and association budget.
The residential concept is marketed around Ritz-Carlton-style service and property management. The scope of concierge, housekeeping, in-residence dining, valet, and à-la-carte services—and any separate charges—should be verified in the management and offering documents.
Flag Luxury Group has publicly cited an expected second-quarter 2028 delivery. That is a development target, not a guarantee; confirm the current construction schedule and the contract definition of completion before relying on it.
Public marketing reviewed did not establish final unit-by-unit parking allocations, pet restrictions, or minimum lease terms. Buyers should request the declaration, rules and regulations, proposed budget, and any city or brand restrictions before making a use or rental decision.
Request a date-stamped availability sheet, floor plan, price, deposit schedule, estimated closing costs, and association/brand fees for the exact residence. Pricing and inventory can change without notice, so avoid publishing an unsourced “starting from” figure as evergreen copy.
