A Groundbreaking Cultural Epicenter on the Miami River
Situated along 327 feet of Miami River frontage within a 14-acre private district, Faena Residences Miami represents the first standalone residential project by the visionary Faena brand — a seamless blend of five-star hotel luxury, bespoke living, and world-class cultural programming.
Designed by the legendary Rafael Vinoly Architects with interiors by Bryan O'Sullivan Studio and landscapes by Sasaki, every detail has been crafted to redefine riverfront living — from site-specific artworks by Faena collaborators Juan Gatti and Andres Reisinger to the soaring Sky Bridge 700 feet above the river.

Why Buyers Choose Faena Residences Miami — Two Iconic Towers on the Miami River
Alan Faena's Track Record on the Beach
We see buyers gravitate to Faena Residences Miami because Alan Faena already proved himself with Faena House in Miami Beach, which still trades at record per-square-foot prices. This new project brings that same cultural DNA to the Miami River corridor with two 68-story towers, 406 residences, and a 14-acre private district. Buyers trust the Faena brand because it delivers on its promises consistently. If you appreciated what he built on Collins Avenue, this is the next chapter, and honestly, we think the river setting gives it something the beach project never had.
The Sky Bridge and Cathedral Lobby Set It Apart
When our clients tour Faena Residences Miami for the first time, the Sky Bridge connecting the two towers and The Cathedral lobby leave the strongest impression. These are not amenities you find replicated anywhere else in Miami. The Cathedral is a soaring arrival experience that immediately signals this is not a conventional condo tower. The Sky Bridge adds a communal element at true elevation that creates genuine community between the two towers. For buyers comparing this to other riverfront projects, these singular architectural moments are consistently what tip the scale toward Faena.
Pre-Construction Pricing on the Miami River
From a value standpoint, Faena Residences Miami offers pre-construction pricing in a corridor that we believe is significantly undervalued relative to Brickell and Miami Beach. The Miami River is undergoing a genuine transformation, and early buyers here are positioning themselves well ahead of the curve. With delivery projected for 2030 and beyond, there is time for the surrounding area to mature considerably. Our clients who bought early in Brickell or Edgewater years ago saw substantial appreciation, and we think the river corridor follows a very similar trajectory with this caliber of development leading the way.
Full-Service Living with Tierra Santa Healing House
Faena Residences Miami includes the Tierra Santa Healing House spa concept, which our wellness-focused clients find extremely compelling. This is the same spa brand from the Faena Hotel that became a destination in its own right on Miami Beach. Paired with resort-style pools, curated food and beverage programming, and full concierge services, the building delivers hotel-caliber living without the hotel traffic. For buyers relocating from Manhattan or international cities who expect five-star service as a baseline, Faena checks every box on the service and wellness side of the equation.
Our Take on Faena Residences Miami
Faena Residences Miami is one of the most ambitious projects we have tracked in the Miami market. Two 68-story towers with 406 residences along 327 feet of Miami River frontage, all within a 14-acre private district. That scale alone puts it in a different category from most developments in the pipeline.
What makes Faena compelling from our perspective is the combination of brand pedigree and location timing. Alan Faena's track record at Faena House on Miami Beach established a benchmark for luxury that still holds. This project brings that same curatorial approach to interiors by Bryan O'Sullivan Studio and architecture by Rafael Vinoly, but applies it to the Miami River corridor, an area we believe has significant upside as it continues to develop.
The amenity package is genuinely distinctive. The Cathedral lobby, Sky Bridge connecting the two towers, and Tierra Santa Healing House spa are not features you will find duplicated at competing projects. For buyers who cross-shop Brickell branded residences like the St. Regis or Waldorf Astoria, Faena offers something fundamentally different: a cultural program, not just luxury finishes.
On the practical side, the residence configurations span one to four bedrooms across several collections including River Lofts, Sky Lofts, and Sky Villas. This gives us flexibility when working with a range of buyers, from investors looking at entry-level units to end-users seeking full-floor penthouses.
The consideration we raise with clients is delivery timing. With completion projected for 2030 and beyond, this is a longer hold than most Miami pre-construction. But for buyers with patience and a belief in the river corridor, the entry pricing today looks attractive relative to where we expect the submarket to be at delivery.
About Faena Residences Miami — Two Iconic Towers on the Miami River
Faena Residences Miami represents the expansion of Alan Faena's cultural vision from Miami Beach to the Miami River corridor. The project consists of two 68-story towers with 406 fully serviced residences, situated along 327 feet of Miami River frontage within a 14-acre private district. Architecture is by Rafael Vinoly with interiors by Bryan O'Sullivan Studio.
The development marks the first standalone residential project from the Faena brand, which established its luxury credentials with Faena House on Collins Avenue and the Faena Hotel, both of which reshaped the mid-Beach market. This new project applies that same blend of art, culture, and hospitality to a rapidly evolving urban waterfront setting that is attracting significant attention from both domestic and international buyers.
Residences span one to four bedrooms across several carefully curated collections. The design approach by Bryan O'Sullivan Studio emphasizes natural materials, generous proportions, and floor-to-ceiling glass that frames views of the river, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami skyline. Every residence is fully serviced, meaning owners have access to hotel-caliber housekeeping, concierge, and food and beverage programming as part of their ownership experience.
The amenity program is among the most extensive we have seen in a Miami residential project. The Cathedral is a soaring lobby experience that sets the tone for the entire development. A Sky Bridge connects the two towers at elevation, creating a shared social space unlike anything else in the market. The Tierra Santa Healing House spa, which became a celebrated destination at the Faena Hotel on Miami Beach, anchors the wellness offering. Additional amenities include resort-style pools, curated dining experiences, dedicated fitness facilities, and comprehensive concierge services designed to anticipate residents' needs.
Location is a key part of the value proposition. The Miami River corridor is undergoing significant transformation, with new restaurants, marinas, and cultural programming arriving regularly. The area benefits from proximity to Brickell's financial core while offering a waterfront character and sense of place that is distinctly its own. For buyers who purchased early in neighborhoods like Brickell, Edgewater, or Wynwood before those areas matured, the river corridor offers a similar opportunity at an earlier stage of its development cycle.
Delivery is projected for 2030 and beyond, placing Faena Residences Miami in the longer-horizon category of Miami pre-construction. Pre-construction pricing and deposit structures are available through our team. We work directly with the developer sales team and can arrange private presentations for qualified buyers interested in securing their position early in this landmark development.
