In the vibrant district of Brickell, amid Miami's evolving skyline, a renaissance is underway, promising to redefine luxury living. Nestled within this dynamic urban landscape, the Mandarin Oriental Residences at Brickell Key are poised to transform the way we envision opulence.

Join us as we explore these exceptional towers, where visionary architecture, lavish interiors, and serene outdoor spaces converge to create a living experience unlike any other.

Architectural Brilliance: A Vision Brought to Life

At Brickell Key, the Mandarin Oriental stands as a symbol of luxury and sophistication. The prestigious buildings are slated for demolition in 2025, to pave the way for a remarkable transformation, a vision set in motion by a group of brilliant minds.

At the forefront of this ambitious project is Swire Properties, a globally renowned developer with an impressive legacy dating back to 1972 in Hong Kong. Throughout their history, they've remained steadfast in their commitment to integrity, innovation, and the highest standards of quality, setting new benchmarks in urban development.

Guiding the architectural marvel of the new Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami is the celebrated Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. Their reputation precedes them, known for their innovative designs and engineering mastery that has graced iconic skyscrapers worldwide.

Together, these visionary teams share a common goal: to not only redefine the architectural landscape but to craft an unparalleled living experience that will shape the future of luxury living in Brickell for years to come.

The Towers: A Vertical Marvel

Two magnificent towers are poised to become iconic landmarks on the Miami skyline.

The first tower, known as "The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami," will ascend to an impressive 800 feet in height. This vertical marvel will house 220 exquisite condo units, each designed to provide a new dimension of opulence.

Adjacent to its taller counterpart, the North American Mandarin Oriental condo-hotel will proudly stand at 400 feet. This distinguished tower features a blend of 151 hotel rooms, 61 private residences, and 28 condo-hotel units. 

Elegance in Detail: Tower Materials and Design

The architectural style of these towers combines modern sophistication with timeless elegance. Exquisite materials and attention to detail define their aesthetic. The use of sleek glass facades and contemporary design elements ensures that they will stand as beacons of luxury in the Brickell Key skyline.

Residents of The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami will not only enjoy a privileged lifestyle but also breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay, enhancing the overall living experience.

A Panoramic Perspective: Tower Views

Whether it's the early morning sunrise over the bay or the tranquil hues of sunset, every residence within the towers offers a front-row seat to Miami's natural beauty. These views are more than just a backdrop; they become an integral part of the daily experience, a reminder of the opulent lifestyle that awaits.

And to fully embrace lavish living, residents can immerse themselves in the sumptuous interiors of the Mandarin Oriental, meticulously designed to captivate the senses.

Indulgence at Every Turn: Interior Design

In the Residences at Mandarin Oriental, the influence of renowned Parisian designer Tristan Auer is unmistakable. Auer's extensive career and collaborations with luxury brands underscore his expertise in interior design.

His goal here is evident: infusing European elegance into every aspect of these residences, creating an ambiance of sophistication that harmonizes with the stunning bay views.

Every corner of The Residences reflects Auer's commitment to blending classic European charm with the contemporary appeal of coastal living. These interiors exude refinement, with each glance revealing another layer of luxury.

Auer's artistic vision seamlessly complements the breathtaking bay vistas within The Residences at Mandarin Oriental. As you explore this opulent sanctuary, a harmonious blend of luxury and nature becomes apparent, where the interiors enhance the beauty of the surrounding environment.

Urban Oasis: Outdoor Tranquility and Resort-Style Amenities

The Residences at Mandarin Oriental at Brickell Key offer a unique blend of outdoor tranquility and resort-style luxury, setting a new standard in urban living. Here, Thai firm Shma takes its first steps into the Miami market, bringing a refreshing approach to outdoor design by seamlessly integrating nature into the cityscape.

Shma's visionary landscape design introduces serene sanctuaries amidst the city's hustle and bustle, infusing natural beauty into the luxurious surroundings. This commitment to harmony between urban life and nature is a defining feature of these residences.

At the heart of the complex lies a sprawling 100,000-square-foot resort-style amenity podium that seamlessly connects the two towers. It's more than just a collection of amenities; it's a lifestyle enhancement crafted for residents and guests alike.

Featuring multi-tiered infinity-edge swimming pools, private cabanas, signature spas, and state-of-the-art health and wellness facilities, the Mandarin Oriental Residences create an unparalleled way of life that's both luxurious and invigorating.

In this urban oasis, the outdoor amenities by Shma and the resort-style facilities at the Mandarin Oriental Residences combine to offer a haven where the city's vibrancy meets the tranquility of nature, setting the stage for a truly exceptional living experience.

Elevated Living: A Holistic Experience

In essence, the Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami offer more than just physical spaces; they embody a holistic, elevated lifestyle that transcends traditional definitions of luxury.

Every aspect of these residences, from the visionary architecture to the opulent interiors and serene outdoor spaces, is meticulously designed to create a harmonious and unmatched living experience.
