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

If you know the Faena name, you already understand what this project means. When Alan Faena transformed a forgotten stretch of Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach into the Faena District, he did not just build a hotel. He created an entire cultural ecosystem: a theater designed by Rem Koolhaas, a Damien Hirst mammoth in the lobby, a live performance series that draws from Buenos Aires to Basel. The Faena brand carries weight in art, hospitality, and luxury real estate circles that very few developers can match. Now that identity is being applied to a 440-unit residential project on the Miami River, and the development team behind it has the credibility to execute. Fortune International Group has completed over $10 billion in South Florida real estate. Kar Properties built 565 Broome SoHo with Renzo Piano. Together, they commissioned Rafael Vinoly Architects to design twin 68-story towers connected by a three-story Sky Bridge at 700+ feet. This is not a quiet entry into the downtown market. This is a statement.

Rafael Vinoly, whose portfolio includes 432 Park Avenue in New York (the Western Hemisphere's tallest residential tower at the time of its completion) and the Tokyo International Forum, brings a particular sensibility to vertical architecture. His twin-tower design for Faena is structurally ambitious. The Sky Bridge connecting both towers at roughly 700 feet above ground houses three floors of amenities, including a restaurant with a bar and lounge, an infinity pool with an underwater sound system, and The Pistol, a DJ-driven cultural venue that extends Faena's arts programming into the residential experience. I have toured dozens of amenity decks across Miami's pre-construction market, and nothing currently in development matches the scale or concept of what Faena is proposing at the Sky Bridge level. Bryan O'Sullivan Studio, the Irish-born London-based designer behind Four Seasons Surf Club's renovation and several high-profile Faena properties, is handling the interiors. Sasaki Associates, the landscape architecture firm, is designing the riverfront gardens and grounds.

The wellness program at Faena Residences is unlike anything else in Miami residential development. The Spa Penthouse, which the developers describe as "Miami's first Sauna Penthouse," occupies its own dedicated floor and includes botanical steam rooms, salt passages, a hammam, cold plunge pools, red-light infrared saunas, a longevity clinic, a glam room, and a beauty arcade. The fitness level features a 25-meter smart pool, Pilates and yoga studios, a weight and cardio room, and an outdoor terrace. There is also a padel court, a children's nursery and play area, a pet spa, and an immersive room. According to Knight Frank's 2025 Wealth Report, wellness amenities are now the number-one driver of purchase decisions among ultra-high-net-worth buyers globally. Faena has built its entire amenity stack around that trend.

The Miami River corridor is the story within the story. For years, downtown Miami's river frontage was underused, mostly industrial and commercial. That is changing fast. The Waldorf Astoria is under construction nearby. Baccarat Residences is rising on the river's eastern bank. Major restaurant groups have moved in along the waterfront. The city has invested in the Miami Riverwalk, a continuous pedestrian path along both banks that will eventually connect Brickell to the bay. Faena's 327 feet of river frontage, combined with a porte cochere arrival, fire pits, cabanas, and lap pools at the ground level, positions the project to take full advantage of this transformation. For buyers who recognize that Miami's downtown river corridor in 2026 is where Wynwood was in 2014 or Brickell was in 2010, the timing is significant.

Pricing from $1.3M to $6.8M+ puts Faena in a competitive range against other branded towers in the market, but the cultural identity of the brand gives it a different buyer profile. Faena buyers tend to be art collectors, entrepreneurs, and globally mobile individuals who are drawn to lifestyle as much as location. The twin-tower format with 440 total units also creates a broader product mix, from compact 712 sqft one-bedrooms to 7,676 sqft penthouses, than most single-tower projects.
