Walkthrough and scope
Week 1–2A site visit in Miami, or a video walkthrough for owners abroad. Measurements, guest count, building delivery rules, and a scope that fits the unit. You receive a specification book and a single quoted figure.
ScopeWhat a package is
One number, one delivery, one finished unit.
A furniture package is a fixed scope of work that takes a property from empty, or from the developer's standard fit-out, to guest-ready on its own terms. Every room furnished, every drawer filled, every surface a guest will touch specified in advance and delivered as a single installation.
It is not a shopping list handed back to the owner. We specify it, we buy it, we receive it, we build it, we style it, and we photograph it. The owner approves the specification book once and sees the unit again on the day it's finished.
The distinction that matters in Miami is between the package and the building's package. A large share of the condos in this market were sold furnished, off one specification, replicated by the hundred. The work here is in the weeks between a scope and a unit that reads, on a search page, as a specific place rather than another floor plan.
ConfigurationsThree shapes
Sized to the property, not to a catalog.
01
Condo package
Studio to two bedroomsFull interior replacement or upgrade for a unit in a purpose-built rental tower — Brickell, Downtown, or the beach. Delivered on top of, or in place of, the developer package, sized to the floor plan and cleared through the building's loading dock and delivery window.
02
Villa package
Three or more bedroomsFull interior plus the outdoor program — pool furniture, lanai seating, outdoor dining, shade. Estates and single-family rentals in Miami compete on outdoor living as much as on the rooms inside.
03
Refit
Existing unitPartial replacement for a property already renting on the developer-standard package. What's dated, worn, or identical to the unit next door gets specified and swapped, usually inside a single low-demand window so no revenue nights are lost.
InventoryDown to the corkscrew
The furniture is the visible half.
A unit that photographs beautifully and has four wine glasses for six guests is not a finished property, and the gap shows up on the first turnover.
So the package is built to a guest count, not a room count. Beds, sofas, dining, storage, and terrace furniture set the shape of the unit. Then the inventory underneath it gets sized to full occupancy — kitchenware and glassware to the maximum sleeping count with a margin, linens at three sets per bed so a turnover never waits on a laundry cycle, towels on the same par, and the small hardware nobody itemizes until it's missing at eleven at night.
Art, ceramics, and textiles come last and are treated as part of the specification rather than an afterthought. In a building where three hundred units share the same floor plan, the same appliances, and the same starting furniture kit, the styling layer is most of what separates a listing a guest remembers from one they scroll past.
Everything is documented. The unit is handed over with a photographed inventory, a sourcing book listing where each piece came from, and a styling guide the housekeeping team works from so the property looks on night two hundred the way it looked in the listing photos.
MiamiWhat we're actually solving
Most units in this market start from the same box.
Downtown Miami and Brickell now hold entire towers engineered for nightly rental, delivered furnished at closing off one developer specification. Hundreds of units in the same building open with the same sofa, the same headboard, the same styling. We wrote about what that does to a listing's search-page position and its rate in a longer piece on the purpose-built STR tower supply shock. A furniture package here is not competing against an empty unit. It's competing against the box the developer already shipped, and the case for it is the same one that piece makes: interior asset hardening, taking a unit past the building baseline, is what a guest can actually see and a pricing algorithm can't erase.
The upside of Miami as a market to furnish in is that almost none of this is a logistics problem the way it is in a market that clears goods through customs. What we buy is bought domestically — South Florida trade suppliers, upholsterers, and metalworkers most of the time, with pieces commissioned further afield only when the brief calls for something specific. There's no import step, no broker, no border variance to plan around.
What replaces it is the building. A purpose-built tower runs its own delivery discipline — a loading dock reservation, a booked service elevator, a certificate of insurance from every mover before the doors open, and hours set by the association rather than by us. None of that is negotiable and all of it is scheduled in advance, so a package never shows up to find the freight elevator already booked for someone else's move.
Someone from our team receives every delivery and manages the building's process directly. Owners closing on a unit from another country are not asked to fly in for a loading dock reservation, and most don't.
Eight to ten weeksFour phases
Walkthrough to first booking.
02.
Procurement
Week 3–7Trade orders placed with South Florida suppliers and regional makers, custom pieces commissioned where the specification calls for them. Progress is reported, not narrated — you get a status on what's confirmed and what's still moving.
03.
Installation
Week 8–9One window, scheduled against the building's loading dock and elevator reservation. A dedicated crew, everything staged, built, and placed. The unit goes from developer-standard to finished without a sequence of partial deliveries.
04.
Handover
Week 10Photography, inventory documentation, sourcing book, styling guide. The listing is ready to relaunch on handover day.
Working domestically, without an import or customs step, Miami packages hold closer to their quoted window than the timeline required in markets that clear pieces through a border. Custom commissions still run toward the longer end.
Two servicesWhich one you need
Which one you actually need.
A furniture package answers a scope question: the unit needs to be furnished, or refurnished beyond what the developer supplied, and made operating. The specification is efficient, the material direction comes from a palette we already hold to in this climate, and the priority is a finished, photographable, durable unit inside a set window.
Miami interior design answers a different question. It starts from the property rather than the palette — light through the day, how the space wants to be composed, built-ins, custom work, a material direction developed for that unit specifically.
Most owners in a purpose-built tower who want to break from the building's baseline want the package. Most owners with a villa or an estate they'll also use themselves want the design service. The walkthrough tells us which, and there's no charge for finding out.

Before the walkthrough.
Everything required to open or relaunch the property. Furniture for every room, exterior and pool furniture for villas, kitchenware and glassware sized to the maximum guest count, linens and towels at three sets per bed, art and styling, and the small inventory a property needs on its first turnover. The unit is handed over photographed, documented, and ready to list.
It depends on the size of the unit, the guest count, and how much of the specification replaces versus adds to what's already there. We quote a single figure after the walkthrough, against a written specification, and we don't publish rate cards — a one-bedroom investor unit and a five-bedroom villa are not the same project and a published range would mislead on both.
Eight to ten weeks from walkthrough to handover for most units. Working domestically, without a customs or import step, Miami packages hold closer to that window than furnishing does in markets that clear pieces through a border. Custom commissions run toward the longer end.
No. A significant share of the units we furnish belong to owners in Latin America, Canada, and Europe who never attend the installation. The walkthrough happens by video, the specification book is approved remotely, our team receives every delivery and coordinates the building's loading dock, and the first time most owners see the unit finished is in the handover photography.
Because every other unit on your floor plan came furnished the same way. Purpose-built towers like The Elser deliver hundreds of residences off one furniture package, and on a booking search page an identical interior is the one thing that can't set your listing apart. A package built beyond the developer standard is what makes a unit read as a specific place a guest chose, not another copy of the one upstairs.
Yes. Furnishing is a standalone service. Owners who want the property operated afterward can also retain Miami property management.
You do, outright, from the day it's installed. Virestia is a design and management company, not a furniture leasing business. The sourcing book is yours as well, so replacements can be ordered without going through us.
No. A furniture package is a fixed scope that furnishes or refits a property inside a set window. Miami interior design is a studio service — bespoke material direction, built-ins, and custom work developed for one house. The walkthrough is the same starting point for both.
