DELANO Residences Miami, Prices, Floor Plans & Pre-Construction Details

The Delano name carries weight that very few hospitality brands can claim. When Ian Schrager and Philippe Starck opened the original Delano South Beach in 1995, they did not just build a hotel. They created a cultural moment. The all-white lobby, the outdoor "water salon," the velvet ropes and celebrity clientele turned Collins Avenue into a global destination and redefined what a boutique hotel could be. That DNA is now being translated into a permanent residential address. DELANO Residences Miami, rising 90 stories and 985 feet at 400 Biscayne Boulevard, brings the Delano lifestyle from South Beach hospitality into Downtown Miami's skyline, and it does so at a price point that makes it one of the most accessible branded towers in the market.

PMG, led by Ryan Shear, is the developer behind this project, the same firm currently building Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami just one block south. That fact alone tells you something about PMG's confidence in Downtown Miami's trajectory. They are not placing one bet on this corridor. They are placing two, with two different global hotel brands, at two different price points, on the same boulevard. The Waldorf targets the ultra-luxury buyer starting at $1.1 million. DELANO targets a broader audience starting at $742,000, with studios at 432 square feet and four-bedroom residences reaching 2,019 square feet. Both projects share the same developer infrastructure, construction management expertise, and commitment to delivery. PMG has built a reputation through E11EVEN Hotel and Residences, Muse in Sunny Isles Beach, and now two supertall branded towers in Downtown. No other developer in Miami is operating at this scale and velocity simultaneously.

The observation deck is the detail I keep coming back to in conversations with buyers. At over 850 feet, DELANO will feature Miami's first public observation deck. This does not exist anywhere in the city today. No building in Miami-Dade County currently offers a public viewing platform above 500 feet. The deck transforms DELANO from a residential tower into a civic landmark, the kind of destination that generates permanent brand awareness, media coverage, and foot traffic. For residents, it means living in a building that the entire city knows by name. For investors, it means a level of brand exposure that no marketing budget can replicate. The sky pool at 800 feet, visible from across Biscayne Bay, adds another layer of visual identity that will define Miami's skyline for decades.

Meyer Davis, the firm responsible for interiors at Baccarat Hotel New York, designed every residence at DELANO. The distinction here is that every unit is delivered fully finished and furnished. Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances in the kitchens. Waterworks fixtures in the bathrooms. Custom cabinetry, smart home technology, and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. This is not a cosmetic package layered over builder-grade bones. It is a complete interior by a firm that understands hospitality-grade finishes at scale. For the buyer, the furnished approach eliminates the 6 to 12 months of design, permitting, and construction that typically follow a pre-construction closing. Your unit is move-in ready or rent-ready from day one, which is a significant financial advantage when you factor in carrying costs during a buildout period.

The pricing is the final piece that makes DELANO worth serious consideration. At $742,000 to $4.8 million, this is a branded residential tower with Meyer Davis interiors, a sky pool, two signature restaurants, the legendary Delano Rose Bar, a full spa, and 24-hour concierge service, all at a fraction of what St Regis Brickell or Baccarat Residences Brickell will cost. For buyers who want the hospitality infrastructure and brand recognition of a five-star hotel residence without committing $2 million or more at entry, DELANO is the answer.
