The 2029 Bet at Banyan Tree Residences

What Approval Stage Means

Banyan Tree Residences cleared the Downtown Action Committee in August 2026 on a unanimous vote, and clearance is the whole of the physical record so far. The published materials give a 2029 target and no groundbreaking date. Buying now means buying at the front of a condominium's life, where selection is widest and the wait is longest.

Stage also sets what the price means. Reported pricing from $1.9M is a starting figure that the developer revises with each release. Closings will not record until the building delivers, so for the next three years the contract is the only price there is. What an early buyer gets in exchange is first pick among 88 corner homes.

The developer's floor plans, published by October 2026, show six residence lines on the standard floors, 10 through 23. Interiors run from a one bedroom of 1,078 square feet to a three bedroom of 2,140, and the wraparound terraces carry totals from 1,655 to 2,906. Kitchens pair Sub-Zero and Wolf with Yabu Pushelberg's palette, and the primary baths run travertine with rainforest showers.

The Project So Far

The published record runs five lines, and a buyer should know which line the project sits on before pricing the wait.

The Contract and the Window

The agreement is the developer's document, and it replaces the resale forms most buyers know. Deposits step on a schedule the contract itself sets, which the gallery will confirm in writing. No figure published anywhere else, this report included, substitutes for the schedule in your own agreement.

Florida's condominium statute grants a fifteen day cancellation right on a new unit contract, counted from signature and delivery of the condominium documents. The right expires on its own, with no extension for a busy week. The declaration, budget and rules arrive with the contract, and those fifteen days are when to read them. Title structure is best settled in the same stretch, and our guide to holding Florida property walks the options.

Privileges That Come With Ownership

Sanctuary Club privileges come with ownership, honored across Banyan's hotel portfolio. They tie the residence to the brand rather than to this one address. What the privileges include, and on what terms they endure, is defined in the documents rather than the marketing. We ask for those terms in writing during the window, alongside the budget.

The Wellness Floor as a Line Item

A full floor of the tower is given over to wellness. The plan puts the spa beside a hammam, adds cryotherapy and a cold plunge, and sets a meditation dome in a garden of its own. Eighty eight homes will carry that floor. A staffed spa level divided among 88 owners is a concentrated line item, and the condominium budget delivered with the documents is where it gets a number.

None of this argues against the building. Wellness is the identity a buyer here is choosing on purpose, and the honest question is whether the monthly figure matches expectations. Read the budget inside the window, ask how the floor will be staffed, and treat the answer as part of the cost of ownership.

The Alternative Timelines

Buyers weighing the wait have a same-year alternative nearby. Nora House in the Nora District was reported from $2M and also targets 2029, a mid-rise of 117 homes rather than a tower. The pipeline page holds the county's full field. For the story of why the brand chose this city at all, our study of the American debut covers the ground.
