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 – 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.

Related Group and Alta Developers Deliver Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia in Downtown Miami

B&B Italia has spent over 60 years defining how the world furnishes its homes. Today, for the first time, it has built one. Related Group and Alta Developers have officially delivered Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia (Casa Bella Residences) at 1400 Biscayne Boulevard. Developed in partnership with the revered Italian design company, the tower brings B&B Italia's award-winning approach to form and craft into the brand’s own residential development for the first time.

Rising 650 feet across 56 stories, the tower claims its place among Miami's tallest residential addresses, with sweeping views of the downtown skyline and Biscayne Bay. Of its 319 luxury residences, including 10 penthouses, over 90% are already under contract, with closings now underway.

"Casa Bella represents a first for a design house that's spent nearly six decades defining Italian craftsmanship, and we're proud that Miami is where B&B Italia chose to build it," said Nick Pérez, President of Related Group's Condominium Division. "This tower is a true collaboration between architecture, craftsmanship and hospitality, and with our first residents now home, that vision has become reality."

A DESIGN ICON’S RESIDENTIAL DEBUT

Casa Bella is the first fully realized residential expression of B&B Italia's design philosophy, led by renowned Italian Architect and Designer Piero Lissoni. The collaboration extends a legacy that has previously brought B&B Italia's design language to partnerships with Bulgari, Rolex, Gucci and Rolls-Royce, now interpreted into a fully residential setting for the first time.

Working in close collaboration with Arquitectonica on architecture and Enzo Enea on landscape design, Lissoni, through his firm Lissoni New York, personally curated the tower's interiors, from its grand lobby to its layered shared spaces.

"Furniture and architecture are not so different, both are about how a person moves through space, and how that space makes them feel," said Piero Lissoni. "With Casa Bella by B&B Italia, we had the chance to bring everything B&B Italia believes about proportion, material and craft into a home for the first time. It is not a showroom. It is where people will actually live, and that changes everything about how you design."

Throughout the interiors, Lissoni brings B&B Italia’s distinctly contemporary Italian sensibilities to Miami, favoring clean lines, refined proportions and a sense of understated sophistication. B&B Italia furnishings extend that design language throughout the building’s common areas and amenities, creating a cohesive experience that feels considered from the moment residents arrive through the private spaces above.

That relationship shows in the details: sleek ITALKRAFT cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and countertops and fixtures hand-picked by Lissoni throughout each residence. Every home includes two private elevators and a private vestibule with biometric access control, soaring ceilings and pass-through layouts framing panoramic water and skyline views.

With only select homes remaining, the Cielo and Penthouse Collections represent Casa Bella's final and most coveted opportunity, with each residence commanding uninterrupted views of Biscayne Bay and Casa Bella's most complete expression of the vision Lissoni and B&B Italia set out to build.

On floors 48 through 51, the 16 residences of the Cielo Collection bring Piero Lissoni’s distinctive design language to the tower’s upper reaches, pairing generous interiors with a vertical estate lifestyle rooted in contemporary Italian design.

Crowning the tower, the Penthouse Collection comprises just 10 residences across seven distinct floor plans, each with 12-foot ceilings, fully furnished by B&B Italia with imported Italian finishes, custom kitchens and closets hand-crafted by the brand's in-house team. Exquisite corner residences take the experience further still, with private rooftop terraces, spa pools and indoor/outdoor summer kitchens for ultimate dining and entertaining experiences.

"These crowning residences are the Casa Bella jewels at its fullest expression," said Francesco Farina, Principal Contract to B&B Italia. "Everything we believe about Italian design, precision, restraint, a refusal to compromise on quality, is present throughout, and especially palpable in the Cielo and Penthouse Collections. This is B&B Italia's philosophy passionately infused into a home, without exception."

A LIFESTYLE BUILT ON ITALIAN HOSPITALITY

Casa Bella's two full floors of amenities are carefully considered around wellness, entertaining and everyday ease. The 360 Wellness Center pairs a fitness hall overlooking the bay with dedicated yoga studios, a spa and beauty salon, flowing naturally into social spaces that include a private theater, wine cellar, game room, children’s playroom and co-working lounge.

Outdoors, Enzo Enea's Italian-inspired gardens surround an 80-foot lap pool with private cabanas and shaded lounges, a poolside bar and Mediterranean café, an open-air yoga lawn, pickleball court and private dining and grilling areas.

The experience culminates nearly 650 feet above Miami at the 56th-floor Sky Pool Terrace, where a second pool, rooftop lounge and private observatory complete sweeping views of the skyline and beyond.

A CATALYST FOR DOWNTOWN'S ARTS & CULTURE DISTRICT

Casa Bella's opening is the culmination of a years-long vision. Related Group and Alta Developers broke ground in November 2023, with Coastal Construction serving as general contractor and Cain International providing construction financing. Its completion lands in a Downtown Miami reshaped by two decades of investment, from the opening of Brightline's MiamiCentral Station to the continued build-out of Miami Worldcenter.

According to the Miami Downtown Development Authority's 2025 Demographics Report, more than 101,000 people now call Downtown Miami home, a nearly 68% increase since 2012, as cultural institutions, lifestyle options and public art have reshaped the neighborhood.

The tower sits minutes from the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, Kaseya Center and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, placing residents at the center of Miami's cultural core.

“It matters not just where you live; yet, still, how you live. A balanced merge between visionary developers, architects, and B&B Italia,” adds Farina.

"Casa Bella is proof of what's possible when a developer and a renowned design house share the same standard for craftsmanship," said Raimundo Onetto, Principal & CEO of Alta Developers. "This is a neighborhood we've believed in for years, long before it became what it is today, and to see it delivered exactly as we envisioned it is what makes this moment matter."

Snøhetta-Designed Office and Retail Building Breaks Ground in Miami Design District, Atria Health and Research Institute To Anchor Landmark Mixed-Use Development

Miami Design District Associates (MDDA) and Raycliff Capital have broken ground on their forthcoming landmark mixed-use development designed by Snøhetta, the internationally acclaimed architecture firm established in Oslo and New York City. The architecturally iconic mixed-use office and retail development also announced several leasing milestones, marking an important step in the continued evolution of the Miami Design District.

Anchoring the leasing activity is Atria Health and Research Institute, which has officially signed approximately 55,000 square feet across the building's third, fourth, and fifth floors with a private, ground-floor entrance, marking the project's first confirmed tenant. Atria will bring its membership-based preventive health and longevity offerings to the Design District and serve the entire Miami community. Atria has locations in New York, Los Angeles, and Palm Beach, with more in development globally. Atria’s new location, designed by David Rockwell, further reinforces the property's positioning as a destination for organizations shaping the future of health, innovation, and human performance

Also joining the project is alternative asset management firm 26North, founded by Josh Harris and managing approximately $38 billion across its private equity, private credit and insurance platforms. Together, these commitments reflect the development’s appeal to leading firms seeking a presence within one of Miami’s most dynamic mixed-use neighborhoods.

Designed by Snøhetta, the eight-story development will introduce approximately 120,500 square feet of office and retail space to the neighborhood, including approximately 22,500 square feet of retail and more than 92,000 square feet of office space. The building is conceived as a new architectural focal point within the District, defined by layered “veiled” volumes, planted terraces and a luminous mesh façade that shifts throughout the day in response to changing light conditions.

Snøhetta is an internationally recognized, transdisciplinary design practice with studios in Oslo, New York, Innsbruck, Paris, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Melbourne. Founded in 1989 by Kjetil Trædal Thorsen and Craig Dykers, the firm works across architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, product design, and graphic design, with an approach rooted in collaboration, contextual sensitivity, and human experience.

Named after a prominent Norwegian mountain, Snøhetta is known for dissolving traditional disciplinary boundaries through an integrated, dialogue-driven process. The firm first gained international recognition with its competition-winning design for the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt, followed by landmark projects including the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo, the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion in New York, and the redesign of Times Square.

Miami Design District Associates (MDDA) is a joint venture between Dacra, founded and owned by visionary entrepreneur Craig Robins; L Catterton Real Estate, a global real estate development and investment fund specializing in creating luxury shopping destinations; and Brookfield Properties, which ranks among the largest retail real estate companies in the United States.

Together they control the Miami Design District, a 30-acre experiential mixed-use neighborhood renowned for its unparalleled collection of luxury retail. The partners continue to develop and enhance this global destination by presenting the best shopping, cultural, and culinary experiences within an architecturally significant context.

The September 30 groundbreaking marked the beginning of construction on the project, with completion anticipated in early 2028. Together, these leasing commitments underscore the continued evolution of the Miami Design District as a destination where architecture, commerce, culture and innovation converge.

BAM Developers and Ascendra Capital Open Seventeen Gables Sales Gallery in Coral Gables

Partners BAM Developers and Ascendra Capital are proud to announce the opening of their Seventeen Gables Sales Gallery, an immersive space designed to showcase the vision behind Seventeen Gables, the 117-unit attainable luxury condominium located at 1715 Douglas Road.

Located in the heart of Coral Gables at 120 Aragon Ave., the Sales Gallery reflects the sophisticated aesthetic that will define Seventeen Gables. Asprea Studio, led by acclaimed design architect and interior designer Karen Asprea, conceived both the project's interiors and the Sales Gallery, creating a seamless extension of the residential experience.

Blending timeless New York sophistication with Coral Gables' Mediterranean character, the space features warm natural materials, refined detailing and contemporary furnishings. A detailed scale model of the building, a full-scale model kitchen and curated displays allow visitors to explore the project’s architecture, interiors, premium finishes and elevated lifestyle.

"The Sales Gallery was designed to give buyers a true sense of what makes Seventeen Gables different," said Mayer Berkovits, founder and CEO of BAM Developers. "Construction began in April of this year, and opening the Sales Gallery marks the next step in bringing the project to life. Prospective buyers can now experience the project firsthand while seeing the momentum behind a community that is already taking shape.”

"Our commitment has always been to move forward with certainty," said David Steinberg, partner and CIO of Ascendra Capital. "Opening the Sales Gallery while construction is progressing demonstrates that commitment and gives buyers confidence that Seventeen Gables is thoughtfully envisioned and actively becoming a reality."

Seventeen Gables presents an opportunity to own new construction in one of South Florida's most desirable neighborhoods, with one-, two- and three-bedroom residences starting from the mid-$600,000s, a rarity for new construction in Coral Gables.

Anticipated to deliver in Q1 2028, the eight-story Seventeen Gables will become the tallest building in East Gables, offering uninterrupted panoramic views from the Coral Gables tree canopy to the Miami skyline. Each residence balances refined aesthetics with the needs of modern lifestyles, creating homes that are both elegant and efficient.

Residents will enjoy a collection of wellness and lifestyle amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, sauna, resort-style pool, resident lounge, integrated co-working spaces, assigned parking and ground-floor retail.

Ideally situated at the intersection of 17th Street and Douglas Road, Seventeen Gables places residents within walking distance of Miracle Mile while providing convenient access to Downtown Miami, Brickell and Miami International Airport. Sales and marketing for the project are exclusively handled by Cervera Real Estate.

"As more new condominium developments cater to the ultra-luxury buyer, Seventeen Gables offers something increasingly rare in Coral Gables," said Jesse Ottley, President of Development Sales for Cervera Real Estate. "It combines thoughtful design, an exceptional location and an attainable price point without compromising on quality, creating a compelling opportunity for buyers."

Rilea Group Breaks Ground on Mohawk at Wynwood Mixed Use Luxury Rental Development

Veteran South Florida developer Rilea Group broke ground on Mohawk at Wynwood, a 300-residence mixed-use development that will establish the defining link between the Wynwood Arts District and Midtown Miami. Located at 50 NE 29th St., Mohawk joins two neighboring projects: The Rider Residences, a boutique condominium developed in partnership with Ciprés, the next-generation real estate development firm, and The Boxer, an eight-story rental building Ciprés is spearheading at 20 NE 29th St. Together, the two firms are shaping nearly an entire city block through the three transformative projects at the nexus of Wynwood, Midtown, Edgewater and the Miami Design District.

Rilea Group, the sales and construction teams, banking and finance executives, members of the brokerage community and select media came together for a ceremony to celebrate the groundbreaking on Sept. 23, 2026.

Mohawk is situated approximately 100 yards from Amazon's new Miami offices, in the middle of a corridor where, according to Rilea Group, more than $11 billion of real estate development is currently underway.

Comprising 12- and eight-story residential towers, Mohawk will feature 300 apartments and 29,118 square feet of ground-floor retail, organized around an open-air, cobblestone pedestrian paseo connecting Northeast 28th and 29th streets.

"Mohawk is punk rock in a tailored jacket," said Diego Ojeda, Founder of Ciprés and President of Rilea Group. "It is a mixed-use project, 300 residences over retail, but nothing about it behaves like one. Chicago brick, blackened steel and glass on the outside. High fashion, photography and rock and roll on the inside. Art on every floor. Nobody has built a rental building like this in Miami, and that is exactly the point. We are also giving the neighborhood its widest sidewalks, because a great restaurant deserves a real terrace. Our retail owners get room for tables, while the runner, the dog walker and the stroller still glide past without touching a chair. That is how Fifth Avenue works. That is how the Champs-Élysées works. We did not design Mohawk to fit in. We designed it to be the talk of the town, and the retail numbers say the town has already noticed."

Mohawk is Rilea Group's sixth project with Coastal Construction, a relationship that includes 1450 Brickell, home to J.P. Morgan's Miami headquarters, and Banco Santander's U.S. headquarters now rising at 1401 Brickell Avenue. Construction financing was provided by Nuveen Green Capital and ABANCA, the Spanish bank headquartered in Galicia. The project is slated for completion in 2029.

A Facade from the Industrial North, Interiors from London

Designed by Deforma Studio, Mohawk's exterior is influenced by Chicago and Brooklyn’s brick facades, with blackened steel and glass - an homage to the industrial architecture of the Northern region’s warehouses and factory lofts, carried as far as modern materials allow.

“Mohawk is our homage to the industrial North - the brick warehouses and factory lofts of Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, reinterpreted through a contemporary Miami lens,” said Javier Barrera, Principal of Deforma Studio. “The reclaimed brick is authentic, salvaged from old factories across the North East and Midwest, so there’s real history embedded in the building. We paired that material with dark metal and glass to capture the character of that industrial architecture without trying to replicate it literally. Diego gave us the freedom to be genuinely creative on this one, and you can see that freedom in every elevation.”

Interiors by RADYCA will distinguish Mohawk as Miami's most fashion-forward and rock-and-roll-focused residential apartment building, with photography, sculptures and murals accenting the lobbies, paseo and amenity floors.

"I went to London to be inspired for Mohawk," said Ramón Alonso, President of RADYCA. "Camden, Shoreditch, the old punk clubs and the fashion houses that grew up next to them. That collision of high fashion and rebellion is what Mohawk's interiors are about. Raw brick, blackened steel, velvet, photography on the walls, a lobby lit like a stage. It is a home for people who would rather be in the front row than the back."

Retail Built for Restaurants and Flagships

Mohawk's 27,990 square feet of ground-floor retail is for sale, with units from 642 to 2,544 square feet, each delivered with high ceilings, grease-trap-ready infrastructure and storefronts opening onto Northeast 28th Street, Northeast 29th Street and the paseo. Sidewalks along the project are 30 feet wide, sized to what shoppers find on Fifth Avenue in New York City or Calle Serrano in Madrid, with room for outdoor dining. On 28th Street, the retail abuts the new headquarters Rilea Group is building for Grammy-winning artist Pitbull.

The paseo, a cobblestone passageway inspired by New York's Meatpacking District, runs through the block from 28th to 29th Street, lined with shopfronts, sculpture and photography.

Retail sales at Mohawk have already set records. Approximately a third of the retail space is under contract at a blended price of about $1,800 per square foot, the highest retail pricing ever achieved in Wynwood or Midtown Miami. Early this year, an international buyer acquired five units for approximately $14 million settled in USDT, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, the largest crypto-settled commercial real estate sale in Miami’s history, executed with tokenization specialist Propy. Cryptocurrency payments remain available for retail purchases. Cervera Real Estate and The Comras Company lead the retail sales team.

Residences and Amenities

Rising above the streetscape, studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments will feature tile flooring throughout, Bertazzoni appliances and kitchens with Dekton by Cosentino countertops, backsplashes and cabinetry. Select homes will open onto spacious lanais and private outdoor living areas.

Rooftop amenities across both towers will include a pool deck, a padel court, secluded gathering areas and a dedicated dog park. Indoors, residents will find a Turkish hammam, a gym, a double-height lounge and offices designed for focused work. Recreational offerings will encompass a game room, indoor and outdoor children's play areas, a separate lounge and bar and a private park. An enclosed garage will accommodate 318 vehicles, with 17 additional on-street parking spaces adjacent to the property.

Edge House Miami Reveals Limited Collection Of Private Office Suites For Condo Buyers

Edge House Miami has unveiled a new collection of 100 private office suites exclusively available to qualifying condominium buyers, introducing a dedicated professional workspace component within the 57-story Edgewater development.

New renderings provide the first look at the offices, which will be available to buyers of select two- and three-bedroom residences priced from $1.2 million. Rather than placing another desk inside the residence, qualifying owners will have their own dedicated workspace elsewhere within the building.

Each private office will span approximately 100 square feet and be delivered fully furnished and ready for use, featuring a lockable glass entry, professional desk and chair, Wi-Fi connectivity and TV pre-wiring.

The offices will be incorporated into a larger business environment with conference and meeting rooms, reception services and coworking areas, along with a professional-grade podcast studio and an on-site café and bakery.

The concept responds to the growing role of remote and hybrid work in residential design. According to a 2026 Homes.com survey provided by the developer, 74% of new-construction buyers consider a home office important, while 49% want a second home office and 64% work remotely at least one day per week.

The private offices will also integrate with the development's flexible-ownership model. Through Edge House's EdgeFlex program, owners will be able to offer their residence and associated private office separately or together, subject to applicable terms and restrictions.

Construction is currently underway on Edge House Miami, developed by Grupo T&C with architecture by Kobi Karp and interiors by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio. Upon completion, the tower will feature 608 fully furnished residences, including studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, with many featuring lockout configurations designed for greater flexibility between personal use and rental opportunities.

The private offices join an amenity collection that includes a resort-style pool deck, wellness and fitness facilities, coworking and collaboration spaces, a golf putting green, children's playground and owners' lounges.

Residences at Edge House Miami start in the $550,000s, while select two- and three-bedroom residences qualifying for a private office begin at $1.2 million. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the exclusive sales and marketing representative, with completion anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2028.

With its new private office collection, Edge House is taking the home-office concept outside of the residence itself, giving qualifying owners a dedicated place to work within the building while maintaining separation between home and professional life.

Inside The Vision to Transform Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium Marinas On Miami's Virginia Key Into A Publicly Accessible Waterfront Destination

Nearly a decade after the City of Miami held a competitive public process to revitalize its aging marinas on Virginia Key and create more access to Biscayne Bay, Miami voters will have the opportunity to move that vision forward this November. The proposal by Virginia Key LLC — a joint venture between RCI Group and Suntex Marinas — would transform approximately 27 acres encompassing the Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium Marinas into a modern, environmentally responsible waterfront destination for all. The plan replaces aging infrastructure, improves marina operations, restores the property as a public asset, and activates the Biscayne Bay waterfront as a destination for residents and visitors.

Virginia Key LLC would fund more than $80 million in improvements through private investment – with no taxpayer dollars needed – and the Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium Marinas would remain City-owned. Public benefits include:

• Over 1,200 linear feet of landscaped waterfront promenade, giving Miami residents and visitors more access to Biscayne Bay.

• Public space to walk, run, bike, paddle, and enjoy Virginia Key – whether or not you own a boat.

• Additional waterfront dining options that will welcome families year-round.

• Improved access to water recreation, with opportunities to paddle, row, gather, and enjoy more of Virginia Key.

From a Marina for Some to a Waterfront for All

Virginia Key LLC’s plans to revitalize the Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium Marina property date back more than a decade through two competitive City procurement processes. In 2017, the City of Miami issued a public RFP seeking proposals to redevelop and operate the property. A City selection committee ranked Virginia Key LLC — the RCI Group and Suntex Marinas team — as the top-ranked proposer and the City Manager approved the recommendation. After years of litigation, the courts ordered the City to place Virginia Key LLC’s proposal before Miami voters. Most recently, a Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge rejected an effort by the current operator of Rickenbacker Marina and others to block the November referendum.

RCI and Suntex bring decades of experience developing, improving, and operating marinas in Florida, as well as a track record of managing publicly owned facilities. Their South Florida portfolio includes Miami Beach Marina, Bayshore Landing, Bahia Mar, and Haulover, with marinas in their portfolio meeting Florida’s Clean Marina standards — unlike the current operator, whose Rickenbacker Marina is not designated as a Florida Clean Marina. That experience gives the team the expertise and resources needed to deliver significant upgrades long envisioned for Virginia Key.

RCI Group has been family-operated for more than 50 years and is led by boating enthusiasts Robert Christoph Sr. and his son, Robert Christoph Jr. Since establishing a Miami presence in the 1980s, the company has played a hands-on role in developing and managing residential, commercial and marine properties across the U.S., including five marinas in Florida.

“My best memories growing up involve being on the water with my family. Biscayne Bay is special, but there are too few places in Miami where families can truly connect with the water. It’s time to open more access to the Virginia Key waterfront,” said Robert W. Christoph Jr., president of RCI Group. “For decades, this incredible public asset has been underutilized and difficult for many Miami families to fully enjoy. We have an opportunity to change that with more than $80 million in improvements funded entirely by private investment — not a single dollar from Miami taxpayers. Our team will create a destination where families can walk along the bay, friends can meet for lunch, and people can kayak, paddleboard, or simply enjoy the view.”

Suntex Marinas is one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of marinas, with more than 30 properties in Florida. The company specializes in the development and management of marinas, with extensive experience investing in and revitalizing publicly owned properties.

“As a City of Miami resident, I know how blessed we are to have Biscayne Bay in our backyard,” said David Filler of Suntex Marinas. “Virginia Key should be a place where more people can enjoy that waterfront. The Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium Marina should be world-class and accessible, rather than off-limits, outdated, and underutilized. Our plan will create a place where families, residents and visitors can enjoy the bay, walk the waterfront, and experience Virginia Key. The marina will remain the anchor for our project, with the waterfront becoming accessible to far more people than it is today.”

1,280 New Jobs and More Than $200 Million in Revenue for the City of Miami

If voters approve the referendum, Virginia Key LLC will enter a 45-year lease with the City of Miami that will generate significantly more revenue for the City. The agreement guarantees Miami at least $2.2 million in annual base rent — more than six times the current operator’s base rent. In addition, the City will receive 6 percent of all gross revenues generated by the improved Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium Marina, bringing projected annual rent to approximately $3.8 million — more than double the current rent. Over the initial 45-year term, Miami will receive more than $200 million in revenue, while the project will create 1,280 jobs during construction and long-term operations.

The November ballot language reads as follows:

Shall City lease approximately 27.62 acres on Virginia Key to Virginia Key, LLC, for:

• 45-year initial term with two 15-year renewals;

• Minimum annual guaranteed rent to City of $2,200,000 (with escalations) totaling approximately $203,980,000 over the initial term plus 6% of gross revenues;

• Approximately $80,000,000 privately funded investment to redevelop existing Rickenbacker and Marine Stadium Marina in an environmentally sensitive manner, including boat storage, restaurants, retail, and public parking?

Faena Unveils First-Ever Penthouse Collection at Faena Residences Miami, Led by $39.5 Million Crown Residence

Faena has unveiled its first-ever penthouse collection at Faena Residences Miami, offering a first look at the most exclusive residences planned for the brand's permanent residential destination along the Miami River.

Leading the newly revealed collection is the $39.5 million Crown Residence, a two-story penthouse designed by Faena Design Studio in collaboration with internationally acclaimed Bryan O'Sullivan Studio. The residence will sit at the pinnacle of the twin-tower development and also marks Bryan O'Sullivan Studio's first project in Miami.

The penthouse collection represents a new tier within Faena Residences Miami, extending the brand's approach to hospitality, design and residential living into the development's most exclusive private homes.

Faena Residences Miami is being developed by Fortune International Group, led by Edgardo Defortuna, and KAR Properties, led by Shahab Karmely, at 90 SW 3rd Street along the Miami River.

Designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, the development will comprise 434 condominiums across two 60-story towers. The broader residential interiors are being designed by Faena Design Studio and Bryan O'Sullivan Studio, bringing Faena's distinctive visual identity together with O'Sullivan's approach to luxury hospitality and residential design.

The newly unveiled penthouses will crown a residential collection previously planned with homes ranging from approximately 700 to 3,300 square feet. The $39.5 million Crown Residence now establishes the highest tier of the offering as Faena reveals the pinnacle of the project for the first time.

Beyond the private residences, the development is distinguished by Faena Rose, an approximately 45,000-square-foot cultural, social and wellness environment suspended between the two towers. Located across three dedicated levels from floors 61 through 64 and nearly 700 feet above the Miami River, Faena Rose architecturally connects the towers while serving as a central gathering place for residents.

Faena Rose is designed around year-round cultural and community programming, with spaces for talks, performances, salons, dinners, wellness experiences and intimate gatherings. Its amenity collection includes an infinity-edge pool overlooking the Miami River, restaurant with bar and dining terrace, private dining room, library lounge, screening room, billiards room, creative lounges and private suites, along with The Pistil, a central social venue featuring a bar and dining terrace.

The project's wellness offering extends to the podium-level Tierra Santa Healing House, which will feature a spa and longevity program incorporating hydrothermal experiences, botanical steam rooms infused with South American herbs, horizontal rain shower beds, cold plunge and red-light therapy, heated stone beds and additional wellness spaces.

Residents will also have access to fitness and movement studios, outdoor workout terraces, a padel court, golf simulator and resort-style pools with cabanas and hospitality services throughout the development.

Faena Residences Miami represents an expansion of the brand's presence in South Florida, carrying the art, culture, wellness and hospitality concepts associated with Faena into a large-scale residential development on the Miami River.

The project is also planned as part of the broader Faena District Miami River, establishing a connection between the brand's presence in Miami Beach and its next destination within Miami's urban core.

With the unveiling of its first-ever penthouse collection, Faena is now revealing the highest level of the residential experience planned for the Miami River development. At $39.5 million, the two-story Crown Residence sits at the top of that collection, bringing together Faena Design Studio and Bryan O'Sullivan Studio for the project's signature private residence.
