A New Chapter on Brickell Key: The Mandarin Oriental Residences Miami

The Miami skyline, a constantly evolving tapestry of modern architecture, is poised for a new defining landmark. After 25 years of legendary service, the original Mandarin Oriental, Miami, on Brickell Key, has closed its doors to make way for a monumental redevelopment. Rising in its place will be the Mandarin Oriental Residences, a two-tower masterpiece that will not only serve as the brand's North American flagship but will also redefine ultra-luxury living in Miami's most exclusive island sanctuary.

Developed by Swire Properties, this ambitious project is a dual-tower wonder located on the last available parcel on Brickell Key. The development will feature two architecturally distinct towers connected by an expansive, landscaped podium. The South Tower will house 228 private residences, while the North Tower will feature the new Mandarin Oriental hotel along with an additional collection of residences. This fusion of world-class hospitality and private residential exclusivity is set to create an unrivaled living experience

A Legacy Reimagined: The Visionary Team

The redevelopment is a testament to the collaborative vision of a global powerhouse team. The architecture, with its bold, sculptural forms, is designed by the internationally acclaimed firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), known for creating some of the world's most iconic supertalls. The interiors of the South Tower residences are curated by the award-winning Parisian designer Tristan Auer, while the North Tower and hotel interiors are handled by the equally celebrated Laura Gonzalez. This collaboration brings a global sensibility to Miami, ensuring that every detail is infused with a perfect blend of timeless elegance and contemporary sophistication.

At the heart of the project's philosophy is an homage to the unique character of its locale. The design seamlessly integrates with the natural beauty of Biscayne Bay, providing an oasis of serenity while remaining just minutes from the vibrant energy of downtown Miami's financial district. The project is a "global vision come to life," combining meticulous design, legendary service, and an immersive resort lifestyle.

The Residences: A Sanctuary of Space and Sophistication

The residences themselves are a sanctuary of space and light. The South Tower, soaring 66 stories and 850 feet, offers an exquisite collection of two- to five-bedroom homes. With expansive floor plans ranging from 2,333 to over 5,800 square feet and generous 11-foot ceilings, each residence feels more like a custom estate in the sky. Every home features a private elevator and entry foyer, ensuring a sense of exclusivity from the moment you arrive.

The design details are a showcase of refined craftsmanship:

  • Gourmet Kitchens: Custom Italian cabinetry by Molteni&C, state-of-the-art Gaggenau appliances, and premium Dornbracht fixtures create a space that is both beautiful and highly functional.

  • Spa-Inspired Bathrooms: Handcrafted stone vanities, marble floors, Dornbracht fixtures, and Duravit smart toilets transform the primary bathrooms into private retreats.

  • Outdoor Living: Expansive terraces with fully fitted outdoor wet bars offer the perfect setting for entertaining while soaking in unobstructed, panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami cityscape.

  • The Crown Jewel: Crowning the South Tower is a remarkable, two-story duplex penthouse with an asking price of $100 million. Spanning an incredible 23,000 square feet with 16,000 square feet of interior space, this one-of-a-kind residence includes a private garage for up to eight vehicles and is a true testament to the project’s scale of luxury

A World of Unprecedented Amenities and Legendary Service

What truly sets the Mandarin Oriental Residences apart is the seamless integration of a private residential experience with the renowned, five-star hotel services. Residents will have privileged access to over 80,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities on a multi-tiered, landscaped podium.

  • Resort-Style Pools: The podium features a magnificent resort-style pool deck with multiple multi-tiered, landscaped infinity pools, including a serene lagoon pool with six private casitas and an ocean pool with five private cabanas. A forest pool with wellness cabanas and a hot tub/cold plunge area caters to those seeking rejuvenation.

  • Holistic Wellness: The project prioritizes wellness with a signature Spa at Mandarin Oriental, a beauty salon, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a forest yoga lawn, and dedicated men's and women's saunas and hammams.

  • Exclusive Social & Business Spaces: Residents can enjoy a variety of exclusive spaces, including a private dining room with a chef's kitchen and wine cellar, a screening lounge, an indoor golf simulator, and multi-use sports courts. For business needs, the building offers a sophisticated business lounge with a conference suite and private offices.

  • Unrivaled Services: The legendary Mandarin Oriental service is the project’s foundation. A dedicated Director of Residences oversees a team of concierge, valet, and security staff. A comprehensive menu of a la carte services—from in-residence spa treatments and housekeeping to childcare, pet care, and travel planning—ensures an effortless and pampered lifestyle.

The project also includes a signature restaurant, an all-day dining venue, and a rooftop bar, along with a curated art walk and a beautiful tea garden, all designed to create an immersive and sophisticated community.

With an expected completion in 2030, the Mandarin Oriental Residences Miami is a landmark project that promises to be more than just a home. It is a commitment to a life of unparalleled luxury, legendary service, and timeless elegance, set in one of the world's most desirable urban destinations. It represents a new and exciting chapter for both the brand and the city of Miami, solidifying Brickell Key's status as a true residential sanctuary.
