The 10 Best Luxury Residences and Developments in Miami (2026)
The Miami skyline is being rewritten, one extraordinary tower at a time. Where a decade ago the city's residential landscape was defined primarily by generic glass condominiums and seasonal vacation properties, today's market features some of the most architecturally ambitious, amenity-rich, and financially significant residential developments anywhere in the world. The numbers alone tell a striking story: multiple projects with average unit prices exceeding $5 million, several with penthouses that have traded above $50 million, and a development pipeline that continues to attract the planet's most celebrated architects, designers, and luxury brands.
What is driving this transformation is not simply money, though there is no shortage of that. It is a fundamental shift in how the global ultra-wealthy view Miami. This is no longer a place where the rich keep a second home. It is increasingly where they keep their primary one. The migration of billionaires, hedge fund managers, technology founders, and international family offices has created demand for residences that rival the finest private homes in quality, finish, and scale, while offering the security, services, and views that only a modern tower can provide.
These ten developments represent the pinnacle of that ambition in 2026.
1. Bentley Residences, Sunny Isles Beach
When the Dezer Development Organization announced its partnership with Bentley Motors to create the world's first Bentley-branded residential tower, skeptics questioned whether an automobile marque could translate meaningfully into architecture. The finished product has silenced that skepticism entirely. Rising 63 stories above Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, Bentley Residences is the tallest oceanfront residential tower in the United States, and its defining feature, the Dezervator car elevator system that transports residents and their vehicles directly to their units, is not a gimmick but a genuine innovation in vertical living.
Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects with interiors by Bentley's own design team, each of the 216 units offers a minimum of four bedrooms and approximately 4,500 square feet of living space. The finishes draw directly from Bentley's automotive heritage: diamond-quilted leather, brushed aluminum accents, and a palette of materials that feels simultaneously automotive and residential. A 20,000-square-foot spa, a residents-only restaurant, a whiskey bar, and a cinema complement the private pool deck on the upper levels. Prices range from approximately $5.5 million to over $25 million for the penthouses.
Address: 18401 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach
2. St. Regis Residences, Brickell
The St. Regis brand's return to Miami takes the form of a pair of towers in the heart of Brickell, the city's financial district, developed by Related Group and designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, the firm celebrated for its classically informed approach to luxury residential design. In a market dominated by glass-and-steel modernism, RAMSA's design for the St. Regis Brickell introduces a warmth and materiality that sets it apart immediately: limestone facades, setback terraces planted with tropical gardens, and a massing that references the great residential buildings of Park Avenue and Lake Shore Drive.
The interiors, designed by Rockwell Group, maintain that sense of cultivated elegance. Units range from two-bedroom residences of approximately 1,800 square feet to full-floor penthouses exceeding 10,000 square feet. The St. Regis Butler Service extends to every residence, and the amenity program includes a full-service spa by Remede, multiple dining venues, a private art collection curated in partnership with local galleries, and a rooftop observatory. Prices range from approximately $2 million to over $40 million for the top-floor residences.
Address: 1809 Brickell Avenue, Miami
3. Cipriani Residences, Brickell
The Cipriani family's name has been synonymous with Italian hospitality since Giuseppe Cipriani opened Harry's Bar in Venice in 1931. Their entry into Miami's residential market, developed in partnership with Mast Capital, brings that nearly century-long tradition of elegance to a 80-story tower in Brickell that will rank among the tallest residential buildings south of New York. The architecture, by Arquitectonica with interiors by 1508 London, balances the soaring verticality of the tower with the intimate, residential warmth that the Cipriani brand demands.
Every resident receives membership to the Cipriani Club, which includes a private restaurant serving the brand's signature dishes (the Bellini, carpaccio, and baked tagliolini among them), a pool club, a spa, and event spaces that will host the kind of curated social programming for which Cipriani venues are known worldwide. Units range from one-bedroom residences starting around $1 million to penthouses that have been listed above $30 million. The development represents one of the most successful sales launches in Miami history, with the majority of inventory absorbed within months of opening.
Address: 1420 South Miami Avenue, Brickell
4. One Thousand Museum
Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum remains, even several years after its completion, the most architecturally significant residential building in Miami and one of the most visually striking towers in the world. The late Pritzker Prize-winning architect's only completed residential skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere, One Thousand Museum rises 62 stories above Museum Park in downtown Miami, its exoskeleton of white fiberglass-reinforced concrete flowing organically around the glass curtain wall like a living structure.
The building contains only 83 half-floor and full-floor residences, ensuring a level of exclusivity that matches the architecture. Units begin at approximately 4,600 square feet, with full-floor residences exceeding 10,000 square feet. The amenities are equally extraordinary: a rooftop helipad (one of the only private residential helipads in the city), an aquatic center with lap pool and hydrotherapy spa, a sky lounge on the 62nd floor, and a bank vault for residents' valuables. Resale prices range from approximately $6 million to over $30 million. There is nothing else like it in Miami, and very little like it anywhere.
Address: 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami
5. 57 Ocean, Miami Beach
On a stretch of Millionaire's Row in Miami Beach that was once defined by aging condominiums and modest apartment buildings, 57 Ocean has introduced a new standard of beachfront living. Developed by Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management and designed by Arquitectonica, the 18-story boutique tower contains just 71 residences, each with a flow-through floor plan that provides views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
The interiors, designed by Brazilian firm Anastassiadis Arquitetos, draw on a material palette of natural stone, warm woods, and handcrafted details that reflect a distinctly South American sensibility. The result is spaces that feel lived-in and personal rather than showroom-perfect. The amenity deck includes an oceanfront pool, a residents' lounge, a wellness center, and private gardens designed by Enzo Enea. Residences range from two-bedroom units starting at approximately $2.5 million to penthouses that have traded above $18 million. For buyers seeking an alternative to the mega-tower model, 57 Ocean offers something increasingly rare in Miami: intimacy at scale.
Address: 5775 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
6. The Residences at 1428 Brickell
Developed by Ytech and designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Meyer Davis, The Residences at 1428 Brickell represent a new typology in the neighborhood: a boutique luxury tower focused on oversized residences with the finishes and proportions of a private home. At just 189 units across 70 stories, the building maintains a density low enough to ensure that the common areas and amenities never feel crowded, even at full occupancy.
The design philosophy centers on what the developers describe as "unframed living," with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, deep terraces, and open floor plans that blur the boundary between interior and exterior space. Private elevator access to each residence is standard, and the smart home technology is among the most advanced in any Miami residential building. The amenity program spans three full floors and includes a resort-style pool, a fitness center designed by Anatomy, a spa, a private dining room, a children's area, and a dog-grooming facility. Prices range from approximately $1.5 million to over $15 million.
Address: 1428 Brickell Avenue, Miami
7. Shore Club Private Collection
The redevelopment of the iconic Shore Club on Collins Avenue represents one of the most ambitious adaptive reuse projects in Miami Beach history. The original Shore Club hotel, designed by Robert Swartburg in 1949 and later reimagined by David Chipperfield, was a social epicenter of South Beach's cultural renaissance. The new Shore Club Private Collection, developed by Witkoff and designed by Kobi Karp Architecture with interiors by Tara Bernerd, preserves the property's storied social character while transforming it into one of the most exclusive residential addresses on the beach.
The development includes 49 private residences ranging from one-bedroom units to expansive penthouses with private rooftop pools, alongside a restored and reimagined social club, a wellness center, and direct beach access through manicured tropical gardens. The original hotel's legendary pool deck, where generations of models, musicians, and moguls gathered, has been updated for residential use while retaining its iconic proportions. Prices range from approximately $3 million to over $30 million for the penthouses.
Address: 1901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
8. Edition Residences, Edgewater
Ian Schrager's EDITION brand, which has already proven its appeal in the hotel sector through properties in Miami Beach, New York, London, and Tokyo, makes its first foray into standalone residential development with the Edition Residences in Edgewater. The project, developed in partnership with Two Roads Development and designed by Arquitectonica, occupies a bayfront site in one of Miami's most rapidly transforming neighborhoods.
Schrager's involvement means that the common areas and amenity spaces are designed with the same level of theatrical precision that defines his hotels: a grand porte-cochere arrival, a double-height lobby that functions as both social space and art gallery, and a pool deck with the curated atmosphere of a private resort. The tower contains 185 residences ranging from one-bedroom units of approximately 800 square feet to four-bedroom units exceeding 3,500 square feet. Bay views are unobstructed from virtually every unit, and the building's Edgewater location provides proximity to the Design District, Wynwood, and Midtown. Prices start at approximately $1 million and reach above $8 million for the upper-floor residences.
Address: 2901 NE 2nd Avenue, Edgewater, Miami
9. Aman Miami
When Aman Resorts, the ultra-luxury hospitality brand beloved by heads of state, technology founders, and old-money dynasties, announced its first residential development in the Americas, the choice of Miami confirmed what the global luxury market had already concluded: this is where the world's wealth is moving. The Aman Miami, designed by Kengo Kuma, the Japanese architect celebrated for his use of natural materials and his ability to create buildings that feel simultaneously modern and timeless, will rise in the heart of Miami's arts and design corridor.
The project includes a limited number of branded residences, an Aman hotel, and the brand's signature Aman Spa, which will be among the most expansive urban spa facilities in the world. Kuma's design draws on the Japanese concept of komorebi, the interplay of light filtering through leaves, with louvered facades, planted terraces, and a material palette of wood, stone, and water that creates an atmosphere of sanctuary within the urban landscape. Residences are expected to begin at approximately $5 million, with penthouses reaching significantly higher. For Aman devotees, and there are many, this will be the most coveted address in Miami.

10. Five Park Miami Beach
Developed by Terra and designed by Arquitectonica, Five Park is the tallest building on Miami Beach at 48 stories, rising from a site at the southern tip of the island where South Pointe Park meets Government Cut, the shipping channel that separates Miami Beach from Fisher Island. The location is singular: residents enjoy unobstructed views of the Atlantic, Biscayne Bay, the downtown Miami skyline, and the parade of cruise ships and yachts passing through the cut below.
The building's canopy structure, a sculptural steel and glass form designed by Arquitectonica's Bernardo Fort-Brescia that extends from the base of the tower over the adjacent public park, has become an instant architectural landmark. Inside, the 98 residences range from 1,400 to over 5,000 square feet, with interiors by Gabellini Sheppard Associates that emphasize restraint, natural light, and exceptional material quality. The amenity deck, located on the third floor, includes a resort-style pool, fitness center, children's play area, and a social club. A private canopy park designed by West 8 landscape architects provides exclusive green space for residents. Prices range from approximately $2.5 million to over $25 million.
Address: 500 Alton Road, Miami Beach
The Architecture of Ambition
What these ten developments share, beyond their price points and their views, is a conviction that Miami's residential architecture should aspire to something more than competent luxury. Each of these projects, in its own way, is making an argument about what it means to live well in a subtropical city at this particular moment in history. Some, like One Thousand Museum and Aman Miami, make that argument through architectural authorship. Others, like the St. Regis and Cipriani, make it through the weight and tradition of their brands. Still others, like Bentley Residences and Five Park, make it through pure innovation and the audacity of their engineering.
Taken together, they paint a portrait of a city that has moved decisively beyond its reputation as a place of transient glamour and seasonal indulgence. Miami's luxury residential market in 2026 is building for permanence. The buyers are staying. The architects are delivering their finest work. And the skyline, reshaped by these extraordinary structures, tells the world that this city intends to be taken seriously for a very long time.
