Buying a Delivered Viceroy Brickell Residence in 2026: Deposits, Offer Terms and Closing

Last Updated: September 2026

Viceroy Brickell at 444 Brickell Avenue is a finished building, so buying there in 2026 means contracting directly with the developer on a completed residence instead of waiting years for construction. The developer price list dated September 15, 2026 runs $637,900 to $1,968,900, from studios to two-bedroom penthouse lines.

The building is a 45-story tower developed by Related Group and GTIS Partners, designed by Arquitectonica, with interiors by Meyer Davis Studio, and managed by the Viceroy Hotels & Resorts hospitality team. It holds 442 tower residences, topped by two levels of penthouses and anchored by 56 city flats. Below is what changes when you buy in a delivered building, what the developer is offering right now, and the order of steps from choosing a residence to getting the keys.

What does delivered mean at Viceroy Brickell?

It means the tower is built and residences are ready to occupy. The developer's fact sheet scheduled top-off at the 45th level for Q1 2025 and completion and delivery of units for Q1 2026, and the developer's September 2026 offer describes the residences as ready for immediate occupancy.

For a buyer, three things change compared with a pre-construction purchase. First, you are buying what you can see. You walk the actual residence, stand on the actual balcony and look at the actual view from that floor and line, rather than reading a rendering. Second, the construction risk is gone: there is no question of whether the tower gets built or when. Third, the deposit ladder that pre-construction buyers carry for years is replaced by a short path to closing.

The trade-off is choice. In a delivered building, the price list is what remains, line by line, and the best views on a given line may already be sold. I tell buyers to look at the list first, then walk the specific residences at the time of day they will actually use them. A south-view one-bedroom at 9 in the morning and the same residence at 6 in the evening are different experiences, and the only way to know which you prefer is to stand in it.

The finishes are also fixed, which is useful because you can inspect them. Per the fact sheet, the residences have Meyer Davis Studio kitchens with Italian cabinetry and front-paneled appliances, Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliance packages, imported travertine porcelain flooring including bathrooms and balconies, frameless glass showers with Brizo fixtures, and glass-railing balconies reachable from both the living room and the bedrooms. Ceilings are 9 feet in the tower residences and 13 feet in the city flats.

How much deposit do you need to buy at Viceroy Brickell now?

The developer's September 2026 offer lets a buyer secure a contract with a total deposit of 20% until closing. During construction, the published schedule was a fixed reservation deposit (studio $40,000, one-bedroom $50,000, two-bedroom $75,000), the balance to 20% at contract, 10% at top-off and 70% at closing.

With the tower complete, the top-off milestone has passed, and the offer frames the purchase as 20% down with the balance at closing. On the September 15, 2026 list, that works out as follows:

• Studio 412 at $637,900: $127,580 deposit, $510,320 at closing
• Two-bedroom 2207 at $1,294,900: $258,980 deposit, $1,035,920 at closing
• Two-bedroom penthouse 02 at $1,968,900: $393,780 deposit, $1,575,120 at closing

Those are arithmetic on the list, not a quote. The deposit terms that bind you are the ones written into the purchase agreement for the specific residence, and I confirm them in writing before you sign. Offers like this one are set by the developer and can end or change, so I check that the terms still apply on the day you are ready to move.

What is included in the current Viceroy Brickell offer?

As of the developer's September 2026 flyer, for a limited time, Viceroy Brickell is pairing designer-furnished residences with a credit for two years of HOA fees. The eligible residences, the end date and the exact credit are set by the developer, so I confirm them against the specific residence before you commit.

Both pieces matter to the math of the first two years. A furnished residence removes the cost and time of furnishing from scratch, which in a delivered building is often the difference between moving in the week of closing and moving in two months later. The HOA credit reduces carrying cost during the first two years of ownership. When you compare Viceroy against a resale in a neighboring tower, put both of these on the Viceroy side of the ledger, because a resale seller rarely offers either.

Two more items are available from the developer and come with the price list. The developer publishes HOA figures, and I send the current budget and the monthly figure for the residence you are considering. The developer also offers a leaseback program. Its terms are specific to the residence and the contract, so I send the developer's document rather than summarize it here, and I would not treat any part of it as a promise of future income.

How long does closing take on a delivered Viceroy Brickell residence?

There is no multi-year wait. Once the contract is signed and the condominium documents are reviewed, closing is scheduled on a finished residence. The closing date itself is set in the developer's purchase agreement, and a cash buyer can usually move faster than a financed buyer, whose timeline follows the lender's appraisal and approval.

Here is the order of steps I walk buyers through:

1. Choose the line and floor from the September 15, 2026 list, then walk the specific residence. The residences section and floor plans show the layouts by type.
2. Sign the purchase agreement and fund the deposit under the terms written into it.
3. Review the condominium documents. Under Section 718.503 of the Florida Statutes, the developer must furnish the condominium documents to the buyer, and the statute gives a buyer of a developer residence a window to cancel after receiving them. Read the budget, the rules on leasing and pets, and the parking provisions during that window, not after it.
4. If you are financing, apply early. The lender will appraise the residence and review the building, and that review sets the pace more than anything the developer does.
5. Do a walkthrough before closing and put anything that needs attention in writing.
6. Close, pay the balance and closing costs, and move in. Ask me early which closing costs the developer's contract assigns to the buyer, because it varies by developer.

One point buyers often miss: if the residence will be your primary home, Florida's homestead exemption can reduce the property tax bill. It applies only to one residence, and only to an individual owner, not a corporation or most entity structures. Decide how you will take title before closing, not after.

Which residence types are on the current list?

The September 15, 2026 list shows studios of 485 to 539 square feet at $637,900 to $831,900, one-bedrooms of 551 to 862 square feet at $775,900 to $1,130,900 including penthouse 05 at $1,050,900, and two-bedrooms of 1,041 to 1,286 square feet at $1,294,900 to $1,968,900, the top being penthouse 02.

The fact sheet describes three-bedroom residences at the penthouse levels, but none appear on the current list. If a three-bedroom is what you need, tell me, and I will ask the developer's team directly whether any are available outside the published list. For every line on the list with square footage, view and the price per square foot, see the Viceroy Brickell prices by residence type breakdown.

What should you check before you sign?

Check the residence, the view line, the HOA budget, the offer terms and the building rules in writing. In a delivered building, what you see is what you get, so the diligence moves from reading renderings to reading documents and walking the unit.

• The residence itself, at the time of day you will use it, and the view from that exact floor.
• The HOA budget and the current monthly figure for that residence.
• The furnished package and the two-year HOA credit: which residences qualify, what the furniture inventory includes, and when the offer ends.
• The leaseback document, if it is relevant to you, read as a contract rather than a marketing piece.
• Parking: the fact sheet lists assigned spaces for optional self-parking alongside 24-hour valet.
• Pets: the building is described as a pet-friendly community. Confirm the specific limits in the condominium rules.
• The complimentary private beach club membership to the Grand Bay Club in Key Biscayne listed in the fact sheet, and whether it applies to your purchase.

For amenities, the building offers an elevated 14th-level pool deck with a heated pool, outdoor spa, cabanas, summer kitchen and a bocce court, a fitness and wellness center with saunas and treatment rooms, a multi-sport simulator studio, club rooms, a wine cellar and tasting room, a screening room and a business center. The full list is on the amenities section. When you are ready to see residences, start with the contact form and I will line up the specific units.
