Una Residences Nears Completion in Brickell with Deepest Underground Garage in Miami
Construction continues at Una Residences, a striking 47-story tower rising along the waterfront in the southern end of Brickell. Designed by world-renowned architectural firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, the 579-foot tower has already topped off and is quickly taking shape as one of the tallest residential buildings in the area.
Developed by OKO Group and Cain International, Una Residences will offer approximately 135 ultra-luxury condominiums with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay. The building is not only distinguished by its sail-inspired silhouette and modern design but also by its engineering feat—a record-setting underground garage. Construction began in the fall of 2020, with crews excavating to nearly 50 feet below sea level to build what is now Miami’s deepest and most expensive subterranean parking structure, accommodating 236 vehicles across three levels.
In addition to its luxury residences and world-class amenities, Una will contribute to the neighborhood’s pedestrian experience with a planned public baywalk situated behind the property, enhancing access to the waterfront for residents and visitors alike.
As vertical construction nears completion, Una Residences is poised to deliver a bold architectural statement and elevated lifestyle experience to one of Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Una Residences Tops Off Construction
Brickell, Miami’s dynamic urban core, is witnessing a transformative moment with the rise of Una Residences, a beacon of luxury and sophistication. The latest update heralds a significant milestone in the project’s journey as construction has recently reached its peak, crowning Una Residences at an impressive 47 stories tall. This architectural marvel, designed by the esteemed Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill (AS+GG) in collaboration with Revuelta Architecture International, stands tall as Brickell’s first waterfront residential development in over a decade.
Perched at 579 feet, Una Residences offers a breathtaking panorama, showcasing unobstructed vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, Key Biscayne, and the glittering skyline of Downtown Miami. With its prime location at 175 Northeast 25th Road, nestled within the serene South Brickell enclave, Una Residences epitomizes exclusivity and luxury.
Developed by the visionary partnership of OKO Group and Cain International, Una Residences has captured the imagination of discerning buyers, reflected in robust pre-sales that have nearly sold out the tower. The allure of this ultra-luxury project is undeniable, as evidenced by the record-breaking sales of the upper tri-level penthouses, each fetching an impressive $17.75 million in 2022.
“This marks a pivotal moment for our team,” remarked Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of OKO Group, and Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International, in a joint statement. “Una Residences introduces a one-of-a-kind building to the Brickell City skyline, offering a luxury living experience unparalleled in the South Florida market.”
Una Residences presents a curated selection of 135 spacious condominiums, ranging from two to five bedrooms, with sizes varying from 1,100 to 4,786 square feet. At the pinnacle of luxury are the two upper tri-level penthouses, each spanning approximately 7,089 square feet and boasting an additional 2,871 square feet of outdoor terrace and rooftop space. These exclusive retreats feature private pools, a summer kitchen, sauna, and steam room, epitomizing the epitome of opulence.
The allure of Una Residences extends beyond its luxurious interiors, with an array of world-class amenities to elevate residents’ lifestyles. From a private marina and three swimming pools to a children’s splash pad area, movie theater, and resort-inspired spa, every aspect of living at Una Residences is meticulously crafted for unparalleled comfort and indulgence. Residents will also enjoy exclusive membership to the prestigious Grand Bay Club on the beachfront of Key Biscayne, further enhancing the allure of waterfront living.
Una Residences is not merely a standalone project but a testament to the commitment of OKO Group and Cain International to redefine luxury living across South Florida. As part of an extensive portfolio, including the recently completed Missoni Baia and the upcoming 830 Brickell and One River, Una Residences stands as a testament to the partners’ unwavering dedication to excellence.
Behind the scenes, a team of renowned engineers and architects, including DeSimone Consulting Engineers, VSN Engineering Inc., HNGS Consulting Engineers, and Enea Garden Design, ensures that Una Residences stands as a pinnacle of structural integrity and aesthetic brilliance.
With construction anticipated to be completed in early 2025, Una Residences is poised to become the crown jewel of Brickell’s skyline, setting a new standard for luxury living in South Florida. As the final touches are added to this architectural masterpiece, anticipation mounts for the unveiling of a new era in waterfront living.
Construction Update for Una Residences
Construction at one of the newest Brickell towers, Una Residences Miami has gone vertical. Recently, a tower crane was seen being installed to begin the actual construction of the tower.
Since the project began construction in 2022, the developers began with one of the most extensive projects of the construction, the underground parking garage. At 100,000 square feet, the garage is considered one of the most expensive and deepest garages in Miami with the ability to house 236 cars. The garage itself is 3 stores below sea level.
With the parking garage located under the building, the developers were able to increase the height of the lobby and include 20-foot tall glass windows that will overlook the pool deck.
UNA Residences will feature floor-to-ceiling glass surfaces on every floor ‘reflecting the Miami sunshine,’ 10′ 8″ foot ceilings in every residence, and the most spectacular views of Biscayne Bay and the Rickenbacker causeway. Prices for these remarkable units range from $942,000 to $6,643,000.

Construction is currently underway. Rebar is being brought in to construct the foundation and cranes are onsite beginning the dig-out of the 100,000 square feet car garage, which will be 50 feet deep and three stories below sea level. According to a construction update from the Florida Construction news, 800 holes will be drilled into the ground then filled with concrete creating interlocking pillars that will eventually construct a cement block for the garage. That block will then be hollowed out to create the deep garage.

UNA Residences: A Short Film w/ Architects Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill and Developer Vladislav Doronin
Get your popcorn ready! The developer of UNA Residences, OKO Group, has released a short film starring architects Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill along with Chairman and CEO of OKO Group, Vladislav Doronin. The duo architects share their inspiration for the building’s design while Doronin describes the amenities and lifestyle that future residents of UNA will get to enjoy, from its bayfront pool and marina to its world-class spa…and everything in between.
Earlier this week, the Miami Condo Investments Team was invited to the Una Residences sales center to receive a special presentation for Brickell’s only waterfront preconstruction development. Not only did we have an opportunity to see first-hand the kitchen and bathroom finishes, we also had an opportunity to view the newly released renderings and see for ourselves some of the views that the development will offer.
Pre-sales for Una Residences launched a few months ago and the development has been very well received. The 47-story tower was designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill (AS+GG) and is being developed by OKO Group. Completion of Una Residences is slated for summer 2021.
