Shore Club Private Collection vs The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach
Two branded buildings on Collins Avenue, both listed for 2028. A comparison, not a ranking.
You come back up from the sand to Collins Avenue with a decision already in your hands: which door you want in 2028. The Shore Club Private Collection is at 1901. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, sits a few blocks south at 1671. Both are oceanfront. Both are sold under a hospitality brand. Both are listed for the same year.
The difference is the life behind each door — a 49-home collection spread across a new tower, a historic house and a Beach House, or a tighter 30-residence tower with Ritz-Carlton service running from the beach to the residences.

The Shore Club Private Collection at 1901 Collins Avenue and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, at 1671 Collins Avenue are both listed for 2028. The Shore Club card, last updated September 2026, reports about $4.9 million to $17.5 million across 49 homes, with delivery estimated in the fourth quarter of 2028. The Ritz-Carlton card, last updated July 2026, lists 30 residences from $4.25 million, with 2028 delivery and no published quarter.
This is a comparison, not a ranking. Every figure below is taken from the Haute Residence card and landing page for that building, as those pages stood on November 14, 2026. Prices appear only as they are printed on each card, with that card’s last-updated date. Both dates can move, and neither page has published a closing calendar.
A longer look at The Shore Club Private Collection is in the Shore Club Private Collection Miami Beach guide. The Ritz-Carlton collection has its own earlier guide, Inside The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach. For the neighborhood around both addresses, see the South Beach hub. A May 11, 2026, buyer’s guide, The Perigon vs. Ritz-Carlton South Beach vs. Six Fisher Island, is a different pairing and is not restated here.
The Shore Club Private Collection, at 1901 Collins Avenue
At The Shore Club Private Collection, the address is 1901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, directly on the ocean. Witkoff is developing it in partnership with Auberge Resorts Collection. Robert A.M. Stern Architects is the design architect, Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design the architect, and Island Planning Corporation the landscape firm. Sales are ongoing, and the card lists the waterfront as direct oceanfront.
You are not buying a single tower type. The landing page describes 49 private homes, in three offerings, on a three-acre oceanfront site: a new 18-story tower rising 200 feet above the ocean line; residences and a penthouse behind the Art Deco façade of the historic Cromwell House; and a single-family oceanfront Beach House. The page calls it the first oceanfront work by Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The Beach House is described as a multistory oceanfront house with its own pool. The Cromwell House penthouse is described as an expansive residence with a private infinity-edge pool and terraces stepping to the water.
Pricing and availability on the card were last updated in September 2026. The price-range line reads approximately $4.9 million to $17.5 million, reported, and subject to change. Completion and delivery are estimated for the fourth quarter of 2028.
What the page describes, beyond the elevation, is a house life held apart from the resort arrival. You come in through a private porte-cochère, into a double-height private residential lobby, and out to a residents-only pool set in the gardens. Auberge Resorts Collection is listed for five-star service in that private setting, with concierge and bespoke resident services. The same grounds hold three acres of botanical gardens, a colonnade procession through the gardens to the pools, and direct beach access with attended beach service. Shore Club resort amenities operated by Auberge sit alongside three expansive pool decks, The Shore Club restaurant and beach dining, a spa, a private residential gym, a residential hot tub and a children’s playroom. Residences are described with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass in 10-foot-high great rooms and curved ocean-view terraces.
That is a 2028 address, sold now, with a hospitality name you would live with rather than visit.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, at 1671 Collins Avenue
A few blocks south, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach is a 30-residence oceanfront tower at 1671 Collins Avenue. That street address appears in the landing-page body; the Quick Facts card lists only South Beach, Florida. SOBE Sky Development, LLC is the developer. Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design is the architect. Studio Munge (Alessandro Munge) designed the interiors, and the landing page also names Naturalficial as the landscape firm. The card lists the project as pre-construction and the waterfront as oceanfront, on the Atlantic and Miami Beach. The landing page describes the building as 15 stories.
The published count is tight: 30 residences, ranging from 612 to 13,291 square feet, and two duplex penthouses with private rooftop pools. The page also lists more than 50,000 square feet of amenities, full Ritz-Carlton service, direct access to the renovated Sagamore — listed in the amenity program as an all-suite addition to The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach hotel — and dining by Michelin-starred chef José Andrés. For a wider look at culinary branded residences, including this collection, see the Culinary Branded Residences in South Florida buyer’s guide.
Pricing and availability on the card were last updated in July 2026. The price-range line is “From $4.25M.” The card does not print an upper bound, and this comparison does not invent one. Completion and delivery are listed as 2028, with no quarter on the card.

The service program, as the landing page describes it, runs from the beach to the residences: legendary Ritz-Carlton service, a 24-hour doorman, concierge and valet parking. That is a different hospitality name, a tighter residence count, and a less specific delivery date than the Shore Club card’s fourth-quarter 2028 estimate. It is not, in this piece, a reason to put one building ahead of the other.
What you can actually take to a preview
Both addresses are on Collins Avenue in South Beach, both are oceanfront, and both are listed for 2028. Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design appears on both landing pages — as architect of record at The Shore Club Private Collection, and as the architect at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach. The design lead at The Shore Club, on that card, is Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Interiors at the Ritz-Carlton collection, on that card, are by Studio Munge.
The Shore Club card describes 49 homes in three types, including a restored historic house and a single-family Beach House, on three acres, with Auberge service kept behind a private residential entrance. The Ritz-Carlton card describes 30 residences, with Ritz-Carlton service and, on the landing page, access to the renovated Sagamore and a dining program by José Andrés. One card gives a fourth-quarter 2028 estimate and a reported range, last updated in September 2026; the other gives a 2028 year and a starting price, last updated in July 2026.
Those are differences you can take to a private preview. They are not a score.
