Brickell’s skyline is mid-transformation. Between the towers already under construction and the projects that just broke ground or are about to, the neighborhood that already had one of the most dramatic skylines in the southeastern United States is getting dramatically more dramatic. Here’s what’s coming — and what buyers, renters, and investors actually need to know about each one.
1. Aston Martin Residences — Already Delivered, Still the Benchmark
Technically already delivered but worth leading with: the 66-story Aston Martin Residences tower on the Miami Riverwalk is the marker that everything coming next is being measured against. The 391 units are sold out — they were before the building topped off — and resale units that have come to market are transacting at strong premiums over purchase price. The amenity set (full yacht marina, sky spa, 55th-floor pool) established the template for what a luxury tower in this market needs to offer.
Why it matters for buyers looking at the next wave: the Aston Martin comps have shifted what sellers of comparable units expect, pushing comparable product in older buildings upward even as new inventory arrives.
2. Cipriani Residences Miami
The Cipriani brand — the storied Italian hospitality dynasty behind Harry’s Bar and the Rainbow Room — is making its residential debut in Miami with an 80-story tower in Brickell’s financial core. 397 units, starting above $1.5 million, with design by Arquitectonica and interiors that reference the brand’s Venice and New York roots. The hotel-services component (housekeeping, in-residence dining, concierge) positions this directly against the best luxury product in Miami Beach, but with Brickell’s financial-district-of-the-Americas location.
Status: pre-construction, expected delivery 2028. Deposits structure is 50% of purchase price by closing of construction, which is aggressive — this is a well-capitalized buyer’s building.
3. One Brickell City Centre
Swire Properties — the Hong Kong-based developer behind the existing Brickell City Centre mall and REACH and RISE towers — is adding a third residential tower to their flagship Brickell development. One Brickell City Centre will rise above the existing retail podium, offering direct interior-connected access to Equinox, Saks Fifth Avenue, and the restaurant collection at the base. For buyers who want to walk to everything and not go outside, this is the building.
4. The Elser Hotel & Residences
Already delivered and one of the most interesting experiments in the Miami market: the Elser is a hybrid hotel-and-condo building where owners can enroll their units in the hotel’s short-term rental program. For investors who want the appreciation of a branded Miami address with the income of a hotel room, this is the model. The units are compact by luxury standards — studios and one-bedrooms predominate — but the location on NE 1st Avenue puts them walkable to Bayside Marketplace and within easy reach of Wynwood.
5. 830 Brickell
The most buzzed-about office tower in Miami — not a condo, technically, but relevant to every buyer in Brickell. 830 Brickell brought a crop of global-caliber tenants (Microsoft, Thoma Bravo, Citadel) to the neighborhood, fundamentally changing the employment base of the area and creating sustained demand for luxury housing in walkable proximity. Every condo developer in Brickell is pitching the walkability-to-830-Brickell story. It’s not wrong.
6. St. Regis Brickell
St. Regis is entering Miami’s residential market with two towers totaling 149 units — deliberately boutique by the standards of the neighborhood, which typically sees 400+ unit towers. Price points start above $3 million. The brand’s service standard (butler service is a St. Regis signature) and the small unit count will make this one of the most exclusive addresses in the city when it delivers in 2027.
7. Baccarat Residences Miami
The French crystal brand — known for its Baccarat Hotel in New York — is bringing 75 floors and 324 units to the Brickell Riverwalk. The design is centered on glass and light in a way that references the brand’s product, which is either inspired or on-the-nose depending on your aesthetic disposition. The riverfront location and brand name will command a significant premium; the question buyers are asking is whether the actual building backs up the branding.
8–10. The Broader Pipeline
Beyond the headliners: Ora by Casa Tua (boutique Italian hospitality brand going residential), Brickell Ten (30-story attainable-luxury building targeting the $600K–$900K price point — genuinely rare in this neighborhood), and the ongoing sellout of existing inventory in older Brickell towers that are benefiting from the rising tide of the neighborhood’s desirability.
What Buyers Should Actually Know
Every one of these projects requires substantial deposits well before delivery, typically 30–50% of the purchase price before construction completes. The Miami pre-construction market has delivered on its promises at a higher rate than most comparable markets, but buyers are still taking on developer risk, construction timeline risk, and market risk over 3–5 year delivery horizons. The buildings that are furthest along in construction carry the least risk; the ones that just launched sales carry the most.
For buyers planning to use their unit — rather than invest — the lifestyle calculus matters as much as the numbers. Brickell is a walking, working, nightlife-heavy neighborhood. It is not quiet. If you’re looking for a tranquil waterfront condo, Edgewater or Coconut Grove will suit you better. If you want to be in the middle of one of the most energized urban neighborhoods in the country, Brickell is delivering.
