Swire Properties Breaks Ground on The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami on Brickell Key

Swire Properties has broken ground on The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, marking the start of construction on one of the nation’s most significant new ultra-luxury developments. Designed by world renowned, New York based architects Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), the project will unfold across two architecturally distinct towers on Brickell Key.

Swire Properties has broken ground on The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, marking the start of construction on one of the nation’s most significant new ultra-luxury developments. Designed by world renowned, New York based architects Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), the project will unfold across two architecturally distinct towers – a 33-story North Tower featuring what is poised to be Mandarin Oriental’s North American flagship hotel with 121 guest rooms, alongside 70 private residences and 28 turnkey Hotel Collection residences; and a 66-story South Tower dedicated to 228 private residences.

Advancing on schedule for delivery in 2030, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami marks Swire Properties' largest luxury residential development to date and its first branded residential development globally. The groundbreaking comes as total sales across the North and South Towers have surpassed $1.7 billion, driven largely by sustained demand from domestic buyers.

In 2026 alone, The Residences has generated more than $620 million in sales, including a record three-month summer period that delivered more than $150 million in new sales, underscoring continued buyer engagement during a season when luxury residential activity often moderates. The North Tower has reached 25% sold since opening the Signature Gallery in May, while the South Tower is now 80% sold.

Anchored by what is destined to be Mandarin Oriental’s North American flagship hotel, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami combines private homeownership with the brand’s globally recognized standards of hospitality, wellness programming and culinary experiences. The hotel is central to the development’s value proposition, ensuring that the residential experience is continuously elevated by Mandarin Oriental’s signature service culture and dedicated colleagues.

"Breaking ground on The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami marks another important milestone in Swire Properties' long-term vision for Brickell Key," said Tim Blackburn, Chief Executive of Swire Properties. “Our strong sales momentum reflects the project’s differentiated value in South Florida’s competitive luxury market—driven by its prime waterfront location, the development team’s track record, the global brand recognition of Mandarin Oriental, and world-class design partners.”

Earlier this year, the project’s two crown penthouses sold to separate buyers for $49.9 million each, totaling nearly $100 million and establishing mainland Miami records for both condominium sale price and price per square foot, at approximately $6,300.

Set on Brickell Key, the exclusive 44-acre island enclave combines waterfront privacy, panoramic views and immediate access to Brickell and downtown Miami. Beginning with the evolution of Brickell Key continuing through the development of Brickell City Centre, the company has maintained a long-term vision for placemaking at scale. The groundbreaking comes less than six months after the controlled demolition of the former Mandarin Oriental, Miami hotel, which paved the way for the waterfront site's next chapter.

“This groundbreaking marks an exciting new chapter for Mandarin Oriental and our return to Brickell Key,” said Laurent Kleitman, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental. “Our ambition is to create an exceptional hotel and residences that bring together memorable experiences, outstanding craftsmanship and the legendary service that defines Mandarin Oriental. Today marks an important step in bringing that vision to life and creating an enduring connection with Miami and its community.”

The project also brings together a globally acclaimed design team. Private residences in the North Tower are imagined by renowned AD100 designer Laura Gonzalez, defined by warmth, craftsmanship and richly layered detailing. The South Tower’s interiors are envisioned by acclaimed AD100 designer Tristan Auer, whose modern vision redefines contemporary luxury through a timeless, sophisticated approach deeply attuned to the residential experience. Landscape architecture by Thailand-based SHMA brings a lush, nature-driven vision to the development’s outdoor spaces, creating a seamless connection between the residences, amenities and waterfront setting.

Designed to embrace seamless indoor-outdoor living, residences in the North Tower range from two- to four-bedrooms while residences in the South Tower range from two- to five-bedrooms – all featuring expansive living spaces framed by floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors and thoughtfully oriented to capture sweeping views of the ocean, Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. Private elevators and entry lobbies provide an added sense of arrival and privacy. Kitchens feature custom Italian cabinetry, state of-the-art appliances and natural stone countertops, while bathrooms are appointed with marble flooring, natural stone vanities and private water closets in each primary suite.

Seamlessly connecting the North and South Towers is a 100,000-square-foot, multi-tiered, resort-style amenity podium serviced by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and defined by the brand’s legendary standards. The extensive amenity collection includes state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities, resort-style pools cascading across multiple levels with private cabanas, wellness cabanas for outdoor treatments, dining pavilions, warm and cold plunge pools, curated social lounges, a business lounge with private meeting rooms and conference suite, library and coffee bar, a multi-use sports court, game room with billiards and indoor golf simulator, private screening lounge and dedicated children’s club. Residents of the North Tower will also enjoy privileged access and connectivity to Mandarin Oriental, Miami, including the brand’s signature spa and waterfront dining, along with 24/7 personalized services provided by a dedicated Mandarin Oriental residential team.

Pricing for the remaining South Tower residences begins at $7 million, with remaining North Tower residences starting at $4 million. Fortune Development Sales is exclusively managing sales for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami.

Swire Properties Implodes Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Brickell Key Paving The Way For The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami

Miami’s Brickell Key is entering a new era with The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, an ultra-luxury development comprising private residences and a new hotel, following the successful demolition of the building that housed the city’s former Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Miami’s Brickell Key is entering a new era with The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, an ultra-luxury development comprising private residences and a new hotel, following the successful demolition of the building that housed the city’s former Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The milestone marks a significant step forward for the new development, which has achieved $1.3 billion in residential sales – including last month’s record-breaking dual penthouse sales totaling $100 million – ahead of groundbreaking later this year.

“Mandarin Oriental has been a defining part of Brickell Key for more than two decades, and the brand’s legacy will live on with the development of two towers set to transform residential living and hospitality in Miami,” said Dave Martin, President of Swire Properties. “With demolition now behind us, our team is eager to get going with vertical construction as we entertain buyers from across the U.S. and around the world.”

The controlled-implosion of the 23-story hotel and its adjacent six-story parking structure took place in a matter of seconds on the morning of Sunday, April 12th, clearing the site for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, which will feature 228 private residences in the South Tower and 70 private residences, 28 turnkey hotel collection residences, and what is destined to be the brand’s new North America flagship hotel with 121 keys in the North Tower.

The existing structure came down in a controlled manner as part of a carefully orchestrated demolition process that required nearly two years of planning and coordination among specialized experts – including The BG Group LLC, Controlled Demolition Inc., and Moss Construction – working in collaboration with the City of Miami.

See PROFILEmiami video coverage of the implosion:

At the start of 2025, Swire Properties launched a comprehensive community outreach and safety initiative to support the implosion process. This included more than 30 meetings with Brickell Key residents and the broader Brickell community, distribution of protective materials to neighboring buildings, and detailed safety guidance for nearby residential, commercial, and restaurant operators. On-site measures included the installation of perimeter container walls and temporary barges, as well as the deployment of vibration and air quality monitors across Brickell Key. In addition, Swire and its team of experts conducted a pre-implosion survey of Biscayne Bay, which will be compared against post-implosion findings to ensure the marine environment remains unaffected.

Crews will now undertake a debris removal process from the site that will last up to six months, with material set to be cleared from the site in a tightly choreographed manner. Preparations for groundbreaking are underway, with the groundbreaking ceremony expected to take place later this year. Construction is expected to last approximately four years, with delivery anticipated in 2030.

Swire Properties' The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami Completes Two Record-Setting Penthouse Sales Totaling Nearly $100 Million

Swire Properties has announced the sale of its two crown jewel penthouses at The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, each at a record setting $49.9 million. Sold to separate buyers within two weeks of each other, the nearly $100 million in combined sales – approximately $6,300 per sq. ft. – mark the highest-priced condominium transactions in mainland Miami history.

Swire Properties has announced the sale of its two crown jewel penthouses at The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, each at a record setting $49.9 million. Sold to separate buyers within two weeks of each other, the nearly $100 million in combined sales – approximately $6,300 per sq. ft. – mark the highest-priced condominium transactions in mainland Miami history and underscore sustained demand for the world-class enclave.

With these transactions, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami has surpassed $1.3 billion in total sales across its two towers, with February alone generating more than $90 million in sales. Pre-development work remains ahead of schedule, with groundbreaking anticipated in late 2026

“The record-setting sales of our two penthouses are a defining moment for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami and a testament to the enduring confidence in Swire Properties’ legacy on Brickell Key,” said Dave Martin, incoming President of Swire Properties Inc. “Setting a new benchmark for ultra-luxury living with the highest price per square foot ever achieved in mainland Miami, these sales affirm Miami’s status as a global destination and the strength of the Mandarin Oriental brand among discerning buyers who value timeless elegance and world-class service.”

Two penthouse sales prior to groundbreaking are an extraordinary achievement in the luxury residential market, affirming the enduring appeal and unmatched stature of The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. The milestone reflects buyers’ confidence not only in the enduring prestige of the Mandarin Oriental brand and Swire Properties’ proven track record, but also in the vision of the project’s world-class design team, whose architectural, interior and landscaping expertise has resonated with the most sophisticated audience.

Located on Brickell Key, the exclusive island enclave developed by Swire Properties in the heart of Miami, each two-story penthouse encompasses nearly 8,000 square feet of interior living space atop the development’s 66-story South Tower. Combining the scale and privacy of a standalone estate with the service and ease of resort living, each residence features an expansive rooftop terrace integrated into its bi-level design, complete with a private lap pool, built-in bar, and panoramic views spanning Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Miami skyline.

Each penthouse includes five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three powder rooms, and a library. Private elevators open into a grand entry foyer and expansive entertaining spaces. A gourmet Molteni&C kitchen with Gaggenau appliances is complemented by a separate chef’s kitchen. Additional features include a wine bar, sauna, staff quarters, and private storage adjacent to the residence.

“These milestone sales mark a significant moment for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami and reflect the extraordinary success the project has achieved since launch,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group. “The sale of both penthouses speaks to the strong global demand for exceptional branded residences and highlights the momentum this landmark project continues to generate, not only in Miami, but across the new construction market.”

These penthouse sales are the latest signal that affluent buyers continue to gravitate toward Miami and South Florida. In 2025, the region’s ultra-luxury segment recorded one of its strongest years ever, with closings above $10 million reaching the second-highest total on record, according to the MIAMI Association of Realtors. Early 2026 activity indicates heightened demand from buyers relocating from high-tax states such as California and New York – with these dual penthouse transactions serving as a clear indicator of that sustained momentum.

Designed by globally renowned architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami unfolds across two distinct towers. The 66-story South Tower is dedicated to 228 private residences, while the 33-story North Tower introduces 70 private residences, 28 turnkey Hotel Collection residences, and 121 hotel guest rooms – seamlessly integrating residential ownership with Mandarin Oriental’s signature hospitality.

The South Tower’s amenities and common spaces are envisioned by acclaimed Parisian designer Tristan Auer, bringing a refined, hospitality-driven sensibility to shared environments. The North Tower’s private residences are imagined by AD100 designer Laura Gonzalez, defined by warmth, craftsmanship, and richly layered detailing. Together, the interiors reflect the project’s dual-tower composition – each with its own character, unified by a shared standard of design excellence.

Floorplans range from two- to five-bedroom residences in the South Tower, while the North Tower offers two- to four-bedroom private residences alongside turnkey Hotel Collection residences. Homes are defined by floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, private elevators and entry lobbies, and expansive living areas that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living – all thoughtfully oriented to capture sweeping vistas of the ocean, bay and city skyline. Kitchens feature custom Italian cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, and natural stone countertops, while bathrooms are appointed with marble flooring, natural stone vanities, and private water closets in each primary suite. Optional infrared saunas are available in select residences.

Seamlessly connecting the North and South Towers is a 100,000-square-foot, multi-tiered, resort-style amenity podium serviced by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and defined by the brand’s legendary standards. Conceptualized by Thailand-based landscape architect SHMA, the lushly landscaped podium includes an immersive forest walk woven through verdant gardens.

The amenity collection includes two state-of-the-art fitness centers, 11 resort-style pools cascading across multiple levels with private cabanas, wellness cabanas for outdoor treatments, and dining pavilions with outdoor grills. Residents also enjoy warm and cold plunge pools, curated social lounges, a business lounge with private meeting rooms and conference suite, library and coffee bar, a multi-use sports court, game room with billiards and indoor golf simulator, private screening lounge, and a dedicated children’s club. Within the hotel, residents have access to Mandarin Oriental’s award-winning signature spa, globally recognized for treatments blending ancient healing traditions with modern luxury.

Pricing for the remaining South Tower residences begins at $6.6 million, with North Tower Residences starting at $3.9 million. Fortune Development Sales is exclusively managing sales for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami.

Swire Properties, Inc. has revealed the highly anticipated Sales Pavilion for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. Located on the southern tip of Brickell Key, the future site of The Residences, this 7,000-square-foot pavilion has been designed as three expertly curated spaces floating on water with panoramic ocean views. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, has seen close to $500 million in contracts signed in the first 60 days of sales, out of almost $1 billion in reservations to date. Pricing for current availability starts at $4.9 million with sales and marketing exclusively overseen by Fortune Development Sales. The Residences are expected to be completed from 2029.

“When we set out to design the final development here on Brickell Key, the one that would complete our 40-year master plan, we knew it had to be something special. Our Sales Pavilion for The Residences is extraordinary and worthy of what will become the jewel in the crown of Swire Properties’ legacy in Miami. With custom finishes throughout and breathtaking views, guests will truly experience what life will be like at The Residences,” said Henry Bott, President of Swire Properties.

The Sales Pavilion offers prospective buyers a first look at the interiors and views from their new home. Conceived by The Residences’ global design team, including Parisian interior designers Tristan Auer and Laura Gonzalez, it features bespoke finishes and decor throughout. For example, the hospitality desk, which welcomes guests upon arrival, is adorned with hand-placed, individually painted coconut shells, along with hand-woven leather screens that filter light into the space. The one-of-a-kind, hand-painted Mandarin Oriental hospitality bar, imagined by Laura Gonzalez, mimics the flow of water with ripples of blues and greens. In the model residence bungalow, envisioned by Tristan Auer, guests experience furnishings, lighting, and finishes that evoke the final lifestyle available to buyers, including honed marble in the kitchen and bathroom, leather-wrapped interiors in the primary closet, and a midnight bar adjacent to the primary bedroom for ease. The design team for The Residences also includes architecture by lead architect Kohn Pedersen Fox, landscapes by Thai firm Shma, and lighting by UK-based lighting architect Speirs Major.

"The quality and overall experience of the sales pavilion align perfectly with Fortune’s commitment to not only delivering an exceptional product but also creating an experience that enhances the way people live.
