Demolition Underway at Future Site of 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana

A major milestone has been reached for 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana, one of Miami’s most anticipated ultra-luxury condo developments. Demolition has officially begun at 888 Brickell Avenue, where the existing building—now fully wrapped and prepped for teardown—will soon make way for what is set to become the tallest residential tower in Brickell. The start of demolition signals real momentum for this high-profile project, which has already generated significant buzz for its fashion-forward branding, sky-high amenities, and record-setting pricing.

888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana is being developed by JDS Development Group, the New York–based firm behind other prominent South Florida ventures like Monad Terrace in Miami Beach. The tower will rise 1,049 feet and span 90 stories, establishing itself as a defining feature of the Brickell skyline. In a rare collaboration between high fashion and real estate, the project will be the first residential tower in the world fully branded and designed by Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. The interiors, furnishings, and aesthetic direction of the residences and common spaces are being curated by the fashion label, infusing the building with signature opulence and craftsmanship.

Architecture for 888 Brickell is being led by Miami-based Sieger Suarez Architects, working alongside Studio Sofield, known for its ultra-luxury designs including Manhattan’s 111 West 57th Street. The tower will offer 259 branded residences, along with a members-only club, full-service spa, gourmet restaurants, and an expansive pool deck with cabanas and ocean views. Units range from one to four bedrooms, with prices starting at $2.2 million and the 3-story, crown-jewel penthouse asking $88 million.

With demolition now underway, 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana is one step closer to transforming this iconic stretch of Brickell Avenue. As vertical construction approaches, the tower promises to raise the bar for luxury living in Miami and establish a new benchmark for branded residential real estate.
