New Development Coming to Brickell-House of Wellness Hotel Tower
Miami’s skyline is set for another exciting addition with the proposed House of Wellness hotel tower in Brickell. A pre-application has been filed with Miami-Dade County reviewers, signaling the start of what will become a 43-story luxury development right in the heart of Brickell.
Key Features of House of Wellness:
43 stories high
832 lodging units for guests seeking a luxurious stay
347 parking spaces to accommodate residents and visitors
A stunning rooftop pool deck on the 43rd floor, providing breathtaking views of the Miami skyline and beyond

This move highlights the significance of its proximity to transit and the county’s focus on improving urban mobility and connectivity in key areas like Brickell.

Architect: Studio MC+G, known for its modern and innovative architectural designs, is leading the project’s design and structure.

The rooftop pool deck, high-end accommodations, and location in one of Miami’s trendiest neighborhoods make this project one to watch.
