A Gateway to Opulence On the 30th of October, an affiliate of Swire Properties demonstrated their commitment to excellence and precision by submitting three separate phased permit applications, all of which are currently undergoing meticulous review for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Miami.

A separate permit application for the sales center, the future face of this luxurious development, remains under careful scrutiny. This space is envisioned to be more than just a sales center; it is set to be a gateway to the opulent lifestyle that awaits future residents.

The Architectural Marvel: Soaring to New Heights Swire Properties has a reputation for creating architectural masterpieces, and this project is no exception.

Phase 1 of the project promises a sprawling 6,500 square feet of premium office space, setting the stage for a development that seamlessly blends work and leisure.

The utilities agreement further unveils the grandeur of Phase 2, which is set to include:

  • 289 meticulously designed residential units
  • 179 luxurious hotel rooms
  • A full-service restaurant sprawling across 28,054 square feet

The residence building is set to soar over 800 feet, offering breathtaking views and unparalleled luxury, while the second tower, standing at around 400 feet, will provide a perfect complement to this majestic structure. The design of these buildings is in the capable hands of Kohn Pedersen Fox, a firm renowned for its innovative and awe-inspiring architectural designs.

Swire Properties is once again redefining luxury living in Miami with its latest venture in Brickell Key.

Last week marked a pivotal moment for Miami’s real estate landscape as we witnessed the commencement of construction for the Baccarat Residences Miami, a development poised to redefine luxury living in the city. The groundbreaking ceremony, captured and shared through social media, has ignited conversations and anticipation among industry insiders and aficionados alike.

Baccarat Residences is on track to become an iconic fixture in Miami’s skyline, boasting an impressive stature of 75 stories, and soaring to a height of 848 feet above ground, or 852 feet above sea level. This monumental structure is set to eclipse the current record-holder, the Aston Martin Residences tower, which stands tall at 66 stories and 816 feet above ground, located just along the Miami River and nearing its completion.

Not too far from the site, the Waldorf Astoria is making its own mark, with construction well underway. This ambitious project is expected to reach a staggering 1,041 feet above ground, incorporating both hotel and residential components, offering a multifaceted luxury experience.

The city’s Building Department has been actively involved, issuing a site work permit for the Baccarat Residences in September, with the permit for full vertical construction currently under meticulous review.

John Moriarty, a name synonymous with excellence and precision in construction, has been entrusted as the contractor for this landmark project.

Adjacent to the Baccarat site, another development is taking shape. A 44-story tower, currently under construction, is set to house 506 apartments, further enriching Miami’s residential offerings.

For hedge fund managers and investors alike, the Baccarat Residences represent not just a pinnacle of luxury living, but also a strategic opportunity in one of Miami’s most sought-after locales. The project’s ambitious scale and prime location underscore Miami’s unwavering appeal and resilience, even in the face of ever-evolving market dynamics.

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.

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.
