A bayfront apartment in South Brickell, a home near the Miami River and a residence on Brickell Key give you different surroundings before the brand enters the picture.
This guide compares five developments: 888 Brickell Dolce & Gabbana, 619 Brickell by Nobu, Cipriani Residences Miami, St. Regis Residences Miami and The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. It is a selected shortlist. Our Miami branded-residences guide covers the wider market.
Project sources checked October 19, 2026. Proposed amenities and delivery estimates can change.
888 Brickell Dolce & Gabbana centers its offering on design. The brand's project website describes both residences and a hotel, including layouts designed to convert into hotel suites. That matters if you are comparing it with a building intended solely for residential use. Ask how the hotel arrangement applies to the particular residence you are considering.
The financing needs attention.
The Real Deal reported on October 9 that JDS was seeking an equity investor, with a source saying the developer intended to remain in the deal. That leaves a question to resolve before buying: what financing has actually closed, and what construction schedule does it support? An investor search alone does not mean the project has been sold or cancelled.
619 Brickell by Nobu pairs Nobu's hospitality platform with architecture by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Sieger Suarez Architects. Nobu's project announcement identifies 13th Floor Investments and Key International as the developers and describes a planned Nobu restaurant at ground level.
The counts differ.
Nobu's announcement lists 74 stories and 300 residences, while the developers' June 2026 sales-launch announcement describes 75 stories and 296 residences. Use the current approved plans and offering documents for the final configuration.
Sales have launched. Before making plans around a move-in date, ask for current permit and site-progress evidence and have your attorney explain the delivery provisions in the contract.
Cipriani Residences Miami puts dining and residential service at the center of the offering. Mast Capital's published project description includes a residents-only Cipriani restaurant and speakeasy, with catering and in-residence dining.
If you would use the dining services regularly, find out which charges sit outside the association budget so you can compare the actual monthly cost with the other buildings on your list. The project website currently markets summer 2027 occupancy. Check that estimate against your contract.
St. Regis Residences Miami is on the South Brickell bayfront. Co-developer Integra Investments identifies Robert A.M. Stern Architects and interiors by Rockwell Group, with concierge services, an indoor lap pool and a sky lounge.
Compare the actual line and exposure, then review the operating budget to see which services are included in the monthly charges. This is the South Brickell development. The St. Regis project in Sunny Isles Beach is a separate building.
The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami offers a Brickell Key setting. Swire Properties is developing the two-tower project, designed by KPF. Mandarin Oriental's October 6, 2026 announcement confirms the ceremonial groundbreaking and anticipates completion in 2030.
Pay attention to the tower.
The South Tower is dedicated to private residences; the North Tower combines private residences, Hotel Collection residences and hotel rooms, so the type of ownership needs to be clear before you compare prices. Confirm which amenities and services come with the residence.
Announced projects to watch
Bugatti and Breitling add two more names to the pipeline, at an earlier stage. Bugatti's September 17 announcement describes a Brickell waterfront project with a residential offering expected in 2027. That is a sales-offering date.
Partners Group's June 26 announcement describes Breitling's B Residences in Brickell, with construction expected in late 2028 and completion targeted in 2031. Those are sponsor targets. Its announcement does not identify a street address.
What to compare before buying
Bring the comparison back to the residence. If you are choosing between two buildings, put the floor plans beside each other and work through the view, the usable space and the full carrying cost. Ask who will operate the building and what owners pay separately.
The agreements matter.
Have your attorney review the rental provisions and explain what happens if the brand or management agreement changes.
For pre-construction, get the current release and a dated availability sheet. Review the deposit schedule and the developer's extension rights before making plans around an advertised completion date.
Questions buyers ask
Does a brand guarantee a resale premium?
No. A premium in the developer's asking price does not establish what a future buyer will pay. Compare recent closed sales in similar buildings, with adjustments for age, location, views and residence size. This guide does not assign a fixed resale premium to Brickell branded residences.
Do all of these buildings include a hotel?
No. Check the project and the component within it. 888 Brickell combines residences and a hotel. Mandarin Oriental's South Tower is dedicated to private residences, while its North Tower includes hotel rooms and different residence types. A hospitality name alone does not tell you how a building will operate.
What should I request before reserving a residence?
Request a dated price and availability sheet for the specific unit, the floor plan and the estimated association budget. Review the deposit terms and delivery provisions with your attorney. For an unfinished building, confirm the current approvals, permits and physical construction stage.
