Kempinski Residences Miami Design District Officially Launches Sales
A New Chapter of European Luxury Arrives in Miami
Sales have officially launched for Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, marking the arrival of the first standalone Kempinski-branded residential collection in the United States. The highly anticipated luxury pre-construction condo development introduces a refined European standard of design and hospitality to one of Miami’s most prestigious and culturally influential neighborhoods.
Developed by DaGrosa Capital Partners LLC, the project will consist of two architecturally striking 23-story towers designed by internationally acclaimed firm Arquitectonica, with interiors by Rockwell Group and landscape architecture by Enea. Each tower will contain just 66 residences — only four homes per floor — for a total of 132 exclusive condominium residences. The development will also include six townhomes and 17 guest suites reserved exclusively for residents. The boutique scale, combined with expansive floor plates and private elevator access, positions Kempinski Residences among the most private new luxury offerings in Miami.
Residences Designed for Scale and Privacy
The residences will offer spacious two- to four-bedroom floor plans ranging from approximately 2,100 to more than 3,100 square feet, with an average residence size of roughly 2,514 square feet. All homes are corner residences featuring large private terraces — many exceeding 500 square feet — framing views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline, and the Design District.
Interiors curated by Rockwell Group emphasize clean lines, natural materials, and refined detailing. Kitchens will feature custom European cabinetry and premium Gaggenau appliance packages, including induction cooktops, built-in coffee systems, and full-height refrigeration. Primary bathrooms will include Kallista fixtures and Kohler smart toilets, creating spa-inspired retreats within each residence. Beginning on the 22nd floor, the development will offer duplex penthouses with dramatic two-level layouts designed to maximize ceiling heights, light, and panoramic views.
70,000 Square Feet of Amenities Across Two Distinct Towers
Approximately 70,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities will be distributed across both towers and connected by an elevated amenities bridge. The North Tower is dedicated to health and wellness, featuring a state-of-the-art fitness center, treatment rooms, spa facilities, a wellness café, garden lounge, children’s room, and an 85-foot lap pool with cabanas and sun shelf.
The South Tower is designed for social and entertainment experiences, offering a beverage bar, business center, conference room, game room, golf simulator, music studio, private dining room, teen and children’s lounges, TV lounge, and a library with bar. Outdoor amenities include a beach-entry pool, splash pad, padel court, lawn sports area, games lounge, and an outdoor theatre. Residents will also benefit from assigned parking, guest suites, curated ground-floor retail, and a dedicated house car for each tower.
Pricing and Timeline
Current pricing begins at approximately $3.7 million for two-bedroom residences, with three-bedroom homes starting in the mid-$4 million range and four-bedroom residences from approximately $5 million and above. The deposit schedule includes a $50,000 reservation, 20% at contract (within 60–90 days), 10% at groundbreaking (anticipated Q2 2027), 10% at top-off (anticipated Q2 2028), and the remaining 60% due at closing (anticipated Q4 2029).
The Kempinski Brand’s Entry into Miami
Founded in 1897, Kempinski is one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious luxury hospitality brands, with a global portfolio of five-star hotels and branded residences across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. Known for its heritage-driven approach to service and understated elegance, the brand’s expansion into a standalone residential development in Miami signals a meaningful milestone. Kempinski Residences Miami Design District will translate that hospitality-driven ethos into a residential-only format, blending European sophistication with Miami’s evolving ultra-luxury condominium market.
Prime Location in the Miami Design District
Kempinski Residences will be located at 3801 & 3883 Biscayne Boulevard, placing residents within walking distance of the Miami Design District’s luxury boutiques, contemporary art galleries, and Michelin-starred restaurants. The property also offers convenient access by car to Wynwood, Midtown Miami, Edgewater, Miami Beach, Brickell, and Miami International Airport. Positioned between Biscayne Bay and one of the city’s most curated retail districts, the development combines global branding with one of Miami’s most dynamic urban settings.
With sales now underway, Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is poised to become one of the most exclusive and architecturally refined new luxury launches in Miami.

Sneak Peek at Una Residences as Closings Set to Begin This Month
Closings are set to begin this month at Una Residences, the 45-story, 135-unit luxury waterfront condominium in South Brickell developed by OKO Group and Cain International and designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG).
Rising directly along Biscayne Bay, Una offers expansive two- to five-bedroom floor plans with sweeping water views and private elevator access in most residences. The tower is crowned by two extraordinary triplex penthouses, each featuring a private rooftop terrace and swimming pool — among the most exclusive residential offerings on the Miami waterfront.
With construction complete and interiors finalized, the building now transitions from development milestone to residential occupancy — and newly released drone photos offer a striking first look at Una in its finished form.
A Sculptural Waterfront Tower with Rare Engineering
The new drone images highlight:
Una’s elegant curvature and rippling glass terraces
Its elevated pedestal and landscaped bayfront setting
Unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean
A rare deep underground parking garage — particularly notable in Miami’s high water table environment
Unlike many towers in Miami that rely on above-grade parking due to sea-level constraints, Una features one of the city’s deepest underground parking garages. This engineering achievement required advanced waterproofing and structural planning given Miami’s proximity to Biscayne Bay and high groundwater levels — a notable differentiator for residents who value protected, secure parking.
A Global Architectural Pedigree Arrives in Miami
Una Residences is the first Miami residential tower designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) — a firm recognized internationally for its elegant yet performance-driven architecture. The firm also developed 830 Brickell, a recently completed Class-A office tower in Brickell.
Adrian Smith, before co-founding AS+GG, famously designed the Burj Khalifa while at SOM — the tallest building in the world. That expertise in innovative high-rise design carries forward into Una’s refined vertical proportions and sculptural form.
Together, Smith and Gordon Gill have collaborated on internationally significant projects including Jeddah Tower, planned to exceed one kilometer in height, and Central Park Tower, the tallest residential building globally.
With Una Residences, that global design pedigree now arrives on the Miami waterfront — contributing a distinctive mark to the skyline.
A Boutique Luxury Tower in a Mega-Tower Market
Developed by OKO Group and Cain International, Una was intentionally conceived as an intimate, design-forward alternative to larger Brickell supertalls.
Highlights include:
135 exclusive residences
Private elevators servicing most units
Expansive bayfront terraces
Spa, fitness center, and curated amenity spaces
Deep underground parking garage — rare in a city defined by its water table
With closings set to begin later this month, early buyers who secured pre-construction pricing will begin taking delivery of residences in one of Brickell’s most architecturally distinctive buildings.
A Major Milestone for South Brickell
The commencement of closings at Una Residences marks one of the most notable tower deliveries in the South Brickell waterfront submarket.
With limited newly delivered bayfront inventory, Una now transitions into the resale and immediate occupancy phases — positioning it as one of the most desirable luxury waterfront condominium addresses in Miami.

Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove Secures $324M Construction Loan
A Major Milestone for One of Miami’s Most Anticipated Luxury Projects
Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove has officially cleared a major hurdle toward construction after securing a $323.8 million construction loan, signaling strong lender confidence and paving the way for the project to move forward.
The financing was secured by developers CMC Group and Fort Partners, two of the most established names in South Florida luxury development, with the loan provided by Bank OZK, a frequent lender on high-profile luxury condo projects across the United States
Construction Financing Signals Momentum and Execution
Securing construction financing is one of the most critical milestones for any large-scale condominium development. In today’s cautious lending environment, a loan of this size underscores the project’s financial strength, sales performance, and overall market demand.
With financing now in place, Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove is expected to advance confidently into the next phase of development, transitioning from vision to vertical construction.
Over 50% Pre-Sold
Even more telling than the financing itself is the project’s sales performance. Industry sources indicate that more than 50% of the residences were already sold by late 2025, well ahead of projections.
Strong pre-sales not only reduce developer risk but also play a key role in securing construction loans—making this financing a direct reflection of buyer confidence in the project, the brand, and the Coconut Grove condo market.
Prices Surpass $4,000 Per Square Foot
Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove is also making headlines for its pricing. Non-penthouse residences have reportedly eclipsed $4,000 per square foot, positioning the project as the highest price-per-square-foot condominium development on the Miami mainland—a benchmark historically reserved for ultra-luxury oceanfront properties.
This pricing reinforces Coconut Grove’s evolution into one of Miami’s most prestigious residential submarkets and highlights the growing demand for branded luxury living outside traditional beachfront corridors.
A Defining Project for Coconut Grove and Miami Luxury Real Estate
With world-class branding, top-tier developers, strong pre-sales, record-setting pricing, and now construction financing secured, Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove is shaping up to be one of the most significant luxury residential projects in Miami’s current development cycle.
As construction moves forward, the project is expected to further elevate Coconut Grove’s status while setting new benchmarks for luxury condominium pricing and demand on the mainland.
David Beckham Sells One Thousand Museum Museum Penthouse for $24.6 Million
David Beckham has officially sold his Miami penthouse at One Thousand Museum for $24.6 million, a transaction that stands out not just for the celebrity name attached to it, but for the extraordinary price per square foot achieved compared to recent sales in the building.
The sale, which closed off-market in September, places Beckham’s residence among the most expensive condo transactions in Greater Downtown Miami over the past year — and at a valuation that significantly outpaces nearby comparables.
Inside Beckham’s Former One Thousand Museum Penthouse
Located at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, One Thousand Museum is a striking Zaha Hadid–designed tower overlooking Museum Park and Biscayne Bay. The building is known for its full-floor and half-floor residences, ultra-private layouts, and dramatic architecture.
Beckham’s former penthouse spans 9,200 square feet, placing it in a rare tier even within a luxury tower that already caters to high-net-worth buyers. At a final sale price of $24.6 million, the transaction pencils out to $2,674 per square foot. Beckham acquired the penthouse in September 2022.
While details such as furnishings and interior upgrades were not publicly disclosed, celebrity ownership alone often adds a layer of intangible value — particularly in a globally recognized, architecturally significant building.
A $2,674 Per Square Foot Sale
What makes this sale especially notable is how sharply it contrasts with the three most recent closed sales at One Thousand Museum.
TH-1002 sold on October 24, 2025 for $1,024 per square foot
Unit 3001 sold on May 27, 2025 for $1,217 per square foot
Unit 2501 sold on May 20, 2025 for $1,188 per square foot
Even the strongest of those transactions falls well under half of the $2,674 per square foot achieved by the penthouse — meaning Beckham’s sale closed at well over double the price per square foot of the the recent comps in the building.
Why the Premium Matters
While penthouses typically command a premium, the magnitude of this spread is unusual, especially in a building where many residences already occupy full floors with panoramic views.
Several factors likely contributed to the outsized valuation:
Penthouse positioning at the top of an iconic tower
Celebrity provenance, which can meaningfully influence ultra-luxury pricing
Potential custom interiors or turnkey condition
Long-term scarcity of comparable trophy residences in Downtown Miami
Regardless of the exact mix, the sale reinforces a key takeaway: exceptional, irreplaceable units can trade on an entirely different pricing curve than the rest of the building.
A Strong Signal for Trophy Assets in Miami
Beckham — who also co-owns Inter Miami CF — has long maintained a presence in South Florida, and this sale adds to a growing list of headline-grabbing luxury transactions tied to high-profile buyers and sellers.
While the broader condo market remains sensitive to interest rates and inventory levels, this deal shows that best-in-class, one-of-one residences continue to attract premium capital, even when nearby comparables tell a very different story.

$54 Million for a Non-Penthouse Condo
Surfside continues to redefine luxury benchmarks as a ground-level unit at The Seaway at The Surf Club sold for a staggering $54 million.

$4,400 Per Square Foot—A New Benchmark
