Introducing the Pinnacle of Luxury-The $60 Million Penthouse at The Residences at 1428 Brickell
1428 Brickell has just announced the unveiling of its $60 million architectural marvel: a two-story, fully-finished penthouse that crowns The Residences at 1428 Brickell. This luxurious abode spans over 12,000 square feet, with ceilings reaching an impressive 30 feet, offering a panoramic spectacle of Miami’s glittering skyline, the Fort Lauderdale cityscape to the north, the sprawling Everglades to the west, and the vast Atlantic Ocean to the east and south. Spearheaded by Ytech’s subsidiary, 1428 Brickell, LLC, this Miami-based real estate development is on track for completion in 2027.
Yamal Yidios, CEO of Ytech, has articulated a singular vision: to craft a penthouse residence that would redefine luxury living on a global scale. The Penthouse at 1428 Brickell is poised to become a benchmark of opulence and sophistication.
The design, a masterpiece curated by the renowned Milan-based ACPV ARCHITECTS, led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, pays homage to the architectural and design giants of the 20th century. The likes of Oscar Niemeyer, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Angelo Mangiarotti, Charlotte Perriand, and Philip Johnson have inspired a space that is a symphony of light, space, and texture, redefining the essence of luxury.
The penthouse is a showcase of exquisite materials such as silk georgette marble, eucalyptus wood claddings, and fluted glass walls—each element meticulously selected by Ytech’s team from around the globe to meet the highest standards of excellence.
In crafting this residence, the development and design teams have meticulously considered every aspect, from the circulation schemes to the strategic placement of rooms, ensuring a harmonious balance between private and communal spaces. The result is a residence that not only boasts a stone-clad sculptural stairway, the result of over 32 design iterations, but also optimizes natural light, ensuring each room glows with the shifting sunlight, enhancing the stunning city views.
The penthouse’s ambitious layout includes a custom-designed library bar, a master bathroom adorned with Salvatori stone, and a walk-in wine cellar. The kitchen, a work of art in itself, will be crafted by the artisans of Vaselli, with a separate chef’s kitchen designed by Italy’s Arclinea.
The Penthouse at The Residences at 1428 Brickell features two stories with 30-foot ceilings, 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, balconies with unmatched views, and three elevators, including a private one leading to the second floor.
The Residences at 1428 Brickell also offers a collection of homes priced from $2 million to $7 million, with sizes ranging from 1,800 to 4,000 square feet. The Penthouse Collection includes lower penthouses starting at $8 million, with sizes up to 10,000 square feet, all featuring water views and a design that maximizes light and space.
The property will also feature over 80,000 square feet of amenity space, including a 10,000 square foot gym, a rooftop pool, a two-story wine and fine art lounge, and more. These amenities, combined with personalized services such as valet, porter, and in-unit package delivery, set a new standard for luxury living.

Star Holdings Management LLC Submits Plans for the Gateway Development in Miami
In the heart of Miami-Dade County’s bustling Ojus Urban District, a significant development shift is on the horizon. Star Holdings Management LLC, a prominent developer, has recently unveiled revised plans for their ambitious project, the Gateway. Initially envisioned in 2020 as a 12-story mixed-use edifice, the latest blueprints suggest a grander vision: an 18-story tower encompassing over 645,000 square feet.
This revamped design proposes a diverse mix of 210 upscale apartments, cutting-edge office spaces, and vibrant retail outlets. Accommodating the needs of modern urbanites, the development also includes a spacious six-story parking structure with the capacity to house over 400 vehicles. Its strategic location offers unparalleled convenience, being in close proximity to the renowned Aventura Mall.
In a nod to inclusivity and community development, the project earmarks ten percent of its residential units as workforce housing.

Potential residents can anticipate a range of apartment sizes, from cozy 750 square-foot units to expansive 1,750 square-foot spaces, with configurations ranging from single to three-bedroom layouts.
The Gateway promises more than just living spaces. Residents and visitors alike can indulge in a plethora of communal amenities. The highlight is a lavish seventh-floor deck, complete with a state-of-the-art swimming pool, all set on a sprawling 1.4-acre plot.
The brains behind this transformative project include the esteemed Star Holdings Management LLC as the developer, with legal representation by Attorney Javier L. Vazquez. The architectural marvel that is the Gateway has been conceived by IDEA Architects.
Miami Commissioners Approve Four Residential Towers in Brickell
In the heart of Brickell, a significant financial move was made last month as county commissioners greenlit the development of four prominent towers on a single block.
This decision, made on September 20 during a session of the Miami-Dade Zoning Board, paves the way for Sentral, Menesse, Westpine, and Calle 8 towers.
Cumulatively, these ventures will usher in an impressive 1,995 residential units across the five towers.
In a strategic move, the developer behind Menesse has entered into a covenant, committing to a significant contribution to enhance Brickell’s mass transit infrastructure. This agreement, formalized on October 18, entails Menesse Brickell LLC allocating $350,000 towards the refurbishment of the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover stations. This contribution will be made before the issuance of the building permit.
Furthermore, in a nod to sustainable urban development, the developer has pledged to reserve a minimum of 5% of the residential units for workforce housing. This initiative targets households earning between 60% and 140% of the area’s median income and will be in effect for two decades post-TCO issuance.
The administrative review of the tower’s site plan is currently in progress, and the financial world watches with bated breath as Brickell continues to evolve.
