“The vision for the Residences at the Mandarin Oriental Miami is to create something truly iconic. What we're creating is an island on an island, essentially something that has the best of both worlds; the serenity and tranquility of true island living, but also being any moments from the very vibrant city center in Miami". Henry Bott, - President Swire Properties
We are thrilled to introduce an extraordinary living experience in Miami - The Residences at Mandarin Oriental. This landmark development marks the debut of the legendary hospitality brand's residences in Miami, setting a new benchmark for ultra-luxury living.
Nestled on the prestigious Brickell Key Island, this exclusive community spans approximately five acres, enveloped by the tranquil waters of Biscayne Bay. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental effortlessly combine the privacy and comfort of ultra-luxury homes with the exceptional amenities and services synonymous with the world-renowned Mandarin Oriental brand. The outcome is a level of luxury and service that is unmatched in Miami.
Developed by Swire Properties, known for its unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, this remarkable project embodies a sophisticated lifestyle that harmonizes unparalleled luxury with the vibrant essence of Miami.
Why This Is the Most Important Address of a Generation
There are moments in a city's lifetime when a single address redefines what is possible. Brickell Key is living one of those moments right now, and I want to tell you exactly why it matters, because most of the market has not yet understood the scale of what is happening here.
Nestled on a private island, Brickell Key provides residents with breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline, and the serene surroundings of lush landscapes. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental benefit from this prime location, offering easy access to Miami's financial district, cultural venues, and world-class dining and shopping.
The address
On April 12, 2026, the original Mandarin Oriental hotel that had defined the southern tip of Brickell Key for 25 years came down in 20 seconds. What replaces it is one of the most ambitious ultra-luxury developments ever conceived in the Americas.
The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, developed by Swire Properties, is a two-tower vision rising on a private 44-acre island, connected to the mainland by a single bridge, moments from the financial core of Miami.
This is not an expansion of a brand. This is the brand's new North American flagship.
Architecture
The architectural design of the residences is a collaboration between leading professionals, ensuring that each unit not only reflects a modern aesthetic but also embraces the natural beauty of its surroundings. Swire Properties is committed to environmentally conscious development, with designs that prioritize sustainability alongside luxury.
The vision behind the towers
Architecture: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), one of the most celebrated architecture firms in the world, known for shaping skylines from Hong Kong to London to New York.
Interior design: Parisian designer Tristan Auer for the South Tower, bringing his European sensibility to his US debut.
Landscape: Thai firm Shma, world-renowned for wellness-led landscape design.
Lighting: Speirs Major, the studio behind some of the most iconic illuminated skylines on earth.
Every decision about this project was made with one directive: build the most refined residential expression Miami has ever seen.
The towers themselves

This is not a condominium. This is a private island sanctuary with five-star hospitality embedded into daily life.
Why this is historic, measured in data
Every serious investor I work with asks the same question. What is the real signal here?
The answer is in the numbers:
- $1.3 billion in reservations recorded to date
- Over 50 percent of the South Tower already reserved
- Two crown penthouses sold at $49.9 million each, totaling $99.8 million combined
- Those sales were recorded at approximately $6,300 per square foot, the highest condominium price per square foot ever achieved on mainland Miami
- Fortune Development Sales, the firm overseeing the sales, reports sustained demand from buyers across the United States, Latin America, and Europe
This project has not only set a new price ceiling for Miami luxury. It has reset what the ceiling means.
Why now is different from every other moment
There are three reasons I am telling every serious investor in my circle to pay attention to this moment specifically.
1. Scarcity is structural, not marketed. Brickell Key is a 44-acre island. There is no additional land to develop. Once these towers are delivered, there will not be another project of this scale here. Ever. Scarcity is not a sales tactic in this case. It is a geographic fact.
2. The pre-construction window is closing. Groundbreaking is anticipated in late 2026. Delivery is targeted for 2030. Pre-construction pricing and payment structure (20 percent at contract, 10 percent at groundbreaking, 10 percent at top off, 60 percent at delivery) exist only during this window. Once vertical construction begins and sales velocity accelerates toward delivery, pricing repositions upward significantly. This is the moment where the mathematics of equity are most favorable to the buyer.
3. The brand is rewriting its own standard. Mandarin Oriental has chosen Miami for its new North American flagship. That decision alone tells you what Miami has become. Branded residences under a five-star hotel operator of this caliber have historically appreciated between 30 and 50 percent above comparable non-branded luxury condominiums, and they produce exceptional rental premiums for owners who choose to monetize when not in residence.
What I want you to understand as your advisor
I have spent 18 years in this business, across three states and multiple international markets, and I can tell you with clarity that opportunities of this caliber are rare. A new flagship of one of the most respected hospitality brands in the world, on a private island, in a city that is rebuilding itself into a global capital on two airport fronts at once, with infrastructure investment measured in the tens of billions.
This is not a condo. This is a generational asset.
My role for my clients here is threefold:
- Access. Securing the remaining inventory that best aligns with your specific investment thesis, whether you are buying for residency, rental yield, legacy, or diversification.
- Negotiation. Structuring the purchase with a clear view of comparable global branded-residence transactions, so the price, the terms, and the floor plan genuinely work in your favor.
- Strategy. Positioning this acquisition inside your broader real estate, tax, and estate planning picture, with the right advisors across our global network.
One conversation away
If you are curious about the remaining inventory, the best lines in each tower, the views, the floor plans, and my honest read on where long-term upside is strongest, I would be glad to walk you through it privately.
