Kerzner International Announces SIRO Brickell — a Wellness-Focused Landmark Coming to the Heart of Brickell
Brickell’s evolution into a world-class urban destination continues with the announcement of SIRO Brickell, the first U.S. outpost of Kerzner International’s wellness-driven hospitality brand. Following the $45 million acquisition of a prime site previously owned by Swire Properties, Kerzner has now revealed plans for a transformative mixed-use project that will blend fitness, recovery, and luxury living in the heart of Miami’s Financial District.
A New Kind of Urban Retreat
Scheduled to open in 2030, SIRO Brickell will feature 180 hotel rooms, 350 branded residences, and state-of-the-art fitness and recovery amenities. The project marks the fourth in SIRO’s expanding global pipeline—joining upcoming destinations in Los Cabos, Riyadh, and Tokyo—and will serve as a showcase for the brand’s mission to redefine hospitality through wellbeing, performance, and purpose-driven living.
According to Kerzner International CEO Philippe Zuber, “SIRO is our disruptor brand; designed to meet the evolving demands of a new generation of travelers who prioritize wellbeing, performance and purpose.” Miami, he added, offers the perfect stage for the brand’s U.S. debut.
Local Expertise, Global Vision
To bring the project to life, Kerzner has partnered with Miami-based 13th Floor Investments and Forse Holdings as local development partners. Both firms bring extensive experience shaping high-impact destinations across South Florida. 13th Floor, led by Managing Principal Arnaud Karsenti, has developed several transformative projects including Link at Douglas and Casa Cipriani Miami. “Brickell has become one of the world’s leading global destinations,” said Karsenti. “This makes it the ideal location to launch SIRO’s flagship project in the U.S.”
A Catalyst for Brickell’s Next Chapter
SIRO Brickell will rise at a time when Brickell is rapidly redefining itself as more than just a financial center. The neighborhood—home to some of Miami’s tallest towers, most exclusive residences, and a growing roster of world-class dining and retail—continues to attract global attention. The addition of a wellness-focused brand like SIRO further diversifies Brickell’s lifestyle offerings, catering to travelers and residents who value balance, health, and design-led living.
The Miami debut of SIRO comes amid a wave of U.S. expansion for Kerzner International, whose other flagship brands include Atlantis, One&Only, and Rare Finds. Later this year, Kerzner will unveil One&Only Moonlight Basin Resort and Private Homes in Montana, followed by a new property in New York’s Hudson Valley—further cementing its reputation for redefining luxury and lifestyle experiences around the world.

Summit Brickell Development Secures FAA Approval, Moves Forward with Updated Plans
The highly anticipated mixed-use development, Summit Brickell is set to redefine the skyline of Miami’s Brickell neighborhood. Located at 1015 Southwest 1st Avenue, this ambitious project recently achieved a significant milestone by securing approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With this approval, the development is poised to rise 765 feet above ground, reaching a total height of 769 feet above sea level at its highest point.

500 residential units
1,583 square feet of commercial space
500 parking spaces
Documents recently filed with Miami-Dade County in April provided updated renderings and plans for Summit Brickell. One of the notable changes is the reduction of the proposed structure from 69 to 60 stories. The updated plans also indicate the elevator bulkhead will now rise to 750 feet, significantly lower than the initially planned 843 feet, falling well within the heights approved by the FAA.
Summit Brickell is currently under review by Miami-Dade County planners as part of its Rapid Transit zoning plan, allowing it to bypass city review. However, a construction permit for the project has not yet been filed with the county.
The project’s material board highlights the variety of architectural features and elements that contribute to the overall design and aesthetic of the structure. Key features include:
Fine sand stucco/textured finish used throughout the elevations
Horizontal concrete pours/sculpted to exterior walls
Impact-resistant guardrail systems
Sliding glass doors with impact-resistant aluminum frame and glass
Fixed-lite, clear safety glass and impact-resistant guardrail system on balcony rails
Additionally, the building will feature:
Impact-resistant glass doors
Storm-resistant mesh screens
Parking garage breezeway
Perforated aluminum garage system panels
Decorative metal claddings
Aluminum sunshade systems
Summit Brickell will offer various unit types from the 14th through the 58th floor, including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 500 to 1,418 square feet. The penthouse units on the 59th floor will range from 1,288 to 2,618 square feet. Residents will enjoy amenities on both the 13th floor and the 60th-floor rooftop. The parking garage is designed to occupy floors 2 through 12, ensuring ample space for residents and visitors.
While it remains unclear when the developer plans to break ground on the project, it is still navigating through the approval process, and no permits have been submitted as of May. Initially, groundbreaking for the project was tentatively scheduled for June 2024, with completion expected by summer 2027. However, given the current status, a groundbreaking towards the end of the year seems more likely, with completion potentially extending into late 2027.
