What does a starting price actually tell you?
A starting price is an entry point for comparing a floor-plan category, not a complete offer for every residence within it. At Anantara Residences Miami, begin with the starting-price table, then request current availability for the collection and bedroom count you want. Ask which specific residence supports the quoted starting figure, what its documented specifications are, and whether the materials you receive identify that same residence throughout the proposed purchase.
The published starting figures do not establish a final acquisition total or an itemized list of everything included. Request a written breakdown of the proposed price, included items, and any additional purchase charges before comparing alternatives. Do not assume the entry-level figure applies to your preferred floor or configuration. Prices and availability are subject to change, so use this guide to organize questions rather than treat it as a reservation or fixed-price commitment.
How should you compare Resort and Private residences?
The clearest first decision is between two collections with different specifications. Resort floors 11–22 contain 100 fully furnished residences with 10-foot ceilings and optional hotel rental management. Private floors 23–47 contain 100 residences with 11-foot ceilings, private elevators, and a six-month minimum rental. These differences deserve attention before you compare bedroom counts, because matching layouts across the collections does not mean you are comparing the same ownership-use proposition or delivery details.
Ask yourself which documented features matter most: a fully furnished residence, the option of hotel rental management, taller ceilings, or private elevator access. Then ask for the relevant documents rather than filling gaps with assumptions. Optional management is not a promise of rental income, and the Anantara brand does not guarantee income or returns. The Private collection's minimum rental period should likewise be considered directly, without assuming it offers the same rental framework as Resort.

What should one- and two-bedroom buyers compare?
One-bedroom, one-bathroom residences are listed at 913–1,053 square feet in both collections. Private one-bedrooms start from $1,600,000, while Resort one-bedrooms start from $1,800,000. That comparison is useful only when paired with the collection specifications. Ask which size and floor plan correspond to an available starting-price residence, and whether the documents show the particular layout you prefer. A published size range does not identify the exact residence that will be offered to you.
For two bedrooms, both collections list 1,580 square feet and two-and-a-half bathrooms; the Resort offering is specifically described as a corner residence. Resort two-bedrooms start from $2,900,000, compared with $2,700,000 for Private. Review the actual plans for room arrangement and your furniture needs instead of assuming identical square footage means identical living space. The price difference alone does not explain the value of furnishing, elevator access, ceiling height, or a particular rental framework for your household.
How do larger Private layouts change the shortlist?
Buyers seeking three or more bedrooms should focus their initial layout review on the Private collection. The listed three-bedroom plan has three-and-a-half bathrooms and 2,391 square feet; the four-bedroom plan has four-and-a-half bathrooms and 2,955 square feet. Use the starting-price table to establish a preliminary budget range, then compare how each actual plan serves your household. Bedroom count is a useful filter, but it cannot answer questions about the arrangement of the rooms.
The five-bedroom residence is listed at 5,346 square feet with five-and-a-half bathrooms. Before moving to a larger category, ask which rooms you genuinely need and request floor plans that let you assess those needs without guessing. Compare the published specifications with current availability, and obtain a residence-specific starting quote. Do not infer features, furnishing, or a particular outlook from size alone. Private elevator access and 11-foot ceilings are documented collection distinctions, not substitutes for reviewing the individual layout.
What remains unknown about the six-bedroom option?
A six-bedroom option is listed within the Private collection, but its size, bathroom count, and price are on request. Those missing details are material to a comparison. Do not extrapolate its price from the five-bedroom starting figure or assume a proportional increase in area. Place it in a separate information-pending category until you receive specifications and a current quote identifying the residence under discussion, rather than treating it as a fully documented alternative.
A practical request should ask for the floor plan, stated area, bathroom count, current starting price, and availability. Also ask whether the supplied materials clearly connect those details to the same residence. If you are deciding between five and six bedrooms, compare your required spaces first and leave the financial comparison open until the missing figures arrive. There is no sound basis here for inventing a price band, an area estimate, or a delivery specification beyond the disclosed information.
What project context belongs beside the price table?
Anantara Residences Miami is planned at 3601 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami FL 33137, in Edgewater, with a Biscayne Bay setting. It is North America's first Anantara branded residences. The project brings together One Thousand Group with Minor Hotels, architecture by Kohn Pedersen Fox, known as KPF, and interiors by Patricia Urquiola. This context helps identify the project behind the pricing, but it does not establish a particular residence's outlook, availability, or final purchase terms.
The disclosed program comprises 50 stories, 200 residences, and more than 130,000 square feet of amenities, with a wellness-focused positioning. Treat these as project-level facts when reviewing the broader offering. Ask for current materials explaining the amenities and the specifications relevant to your selected collection. Neither the scale of the amenity program nor the design team's identity promises financial performance. Your shortlist should still rest on the documented residence, its starting price, and its fit with your intended use.
How should you review maintenance and deposit timing?
The stated maintenance figure is $2.20 PSF. The supplied information does not specify a billing interval or establish what it includes, so neither should be assumed. Ask for written clarification of the interval, the applicable area basis, and the covered items before incorporating maintenance into a personal budget. Keep that review separate from acquisition pricing: a starting purchase figure does not answer ongoing-cost questions, and multiplying an incomplete maintenance disclosure would create an unreliable estimate.
Use the full deposit table to review the sequence from contract through closing rather than treating the starting price as the only budgeting input. The schedule identifies contractual payments and construction-linked milestones. Groundbreaking is estimated for Q3 2027, top-off for Q4 2028, and completion and closing for Q4 2030. All construction dates are estimates. Ask your own advisors to review the payment provisions and what the purchase documents say about timing changes before you decide whether the schedule fits your plans.
What should you request before choosing a residence?
Build a focused request around the collection, bedroom count, preferred layout, and starting-price range you are considering. Ask Kyle Gilligan, brokered by Douglas Elliman, for current materials, available residence details, written pricing, and the applicable deposit information. Include any unanswered questions about furnishing, maintenance, or rental provisions. This approach keeps the conversation tied to a specific purchasing decision instead of relying on the project description to answer questions it was never intended to resolve.
If you are buying from a distance, request the materials first, review them with your own advisors, and arrange a call to discuss the remaining gaps. Ask explicitly which signing and funding steps require your presence; do not assume a fully remote closing is available. Before proceeding, confirm that the residence details, price, and proposed documents align. Starting prices and availability remain subject to change, and neither branding nor optional rental management guarantees rental income or investment returns.
Frequently Asked Questions About Starting Prices
What is the lowest published starting price?
The lowest published starting price is $1,600,000 for a Private one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence. The listed size range is 913–1,053 square feet. This is a category starting figure, not a guarantee that every layout or residence is available at that price. Request current inventory and a written quote identifying the specific residence. Starting prices and availability are subject to change.
Are furnishings included in both collections?
The Resort collection is expressly described as fully furnished. The supplied Private collection information does not establish the same furnishing inclusion. Ask for a written, residence-specific list of what is included in the proposed purchase. Avoid treating the price difference between the collections as a furnishing allowance or assuming that an unspecified item is included in either collection's final offer.
Does optional hotel rental management guarantee earnings?
No. Resort residences offer optional hotel rental management, but that option does not guarantee rental income or returns. The Anantara brand does not provide such a guarantee either. Request the relevant management materials and review the actual terms with your own advisors. Private residences instead have a stated six-month minimum rental, which should not be confused with the Resort management option.
Can I estimate a six-bedroom price from other layouts?
The disclosed information does not support that estimate. Six-bedroom size, bathroom count, and price are all on request, so the five-bedroom offering is not a reliable basis for extrapolation. Ask for a current floor plan, specifications, availability, and written starting quote. Until those details arrive, keep the six-bedroom option separate from alternatives with published size and starting-price information.
Can the purchase be completed entirely from abroad?
A fully remote closing should not be assumed or guaranteed. You can begin by requesting materials, reviewing them with your own advisors, and arranging a call with Kyle Gilligan, brokered by Douglas Elliman. Ask which signing and funding steps require physical presence and what the applicable process involves. Confirm those details before making plans that depend on completing everything remotely.
