These are two very different bets in the same district. Cipriani Residences Miami is an 80-story Arquitectonica tower at 1420 S Miami Avenue in central Brickell, 397 residences from $1.1M, developed by Mast Capital, topping 872 feet to become the tallest residential building in Brickell, delivering Q4 2028. St. Regis Residences Brickell is a roughly 50-story Robert A.M. Stern limestone tower on the South Brickell bayfront at 1809 Brickell Avenue, just 152 residences from $4.6M, developed by Related Group with Integra Investments, with a private resident marina, East tower targeted Q4 2027. Cipriani opens the door wide. St. Regis stays scarce. Source: Construction Review Online and developer prospectus filings with Miami-Dade County.
Buyers shopping Brickell pre-construction ask me to put these two head to head all the time, and I understand why: both carry famous hospitality names and both sit in the same zip-code-adjacent stretch of Miami. But they are not really competing for the same buyer. Cipriani is a high-rise glass icon by Arquitectonica with a $1.1M entry point and 397 units, built to bring a broad international and local buyer pool into a branded tower. St. Regis is a bayfront limestone building by Robert A.M. Stern with only 152 residences and a $4.6M floor, built for the ultra-high-net-worth end-user who wants butler service and a private marina. Here is my analysis based on each developer's own pricing, unit counts, and delivery schedules as of Q2 2026.

Price Analysis
The gap between these two is not a small premium, it is a different league. Cipriani opens at roughly $1.1M for a one-bedroom-plus-den, which is one of the lowest entry points into any globally branded tower in Brickell. St. Regis opens at $4.6M for a lower-floor residence, more than four times Cipriani's floor. That spread reflects what each building is: Cipriani is an 80-story tower with 397 units designed to reach a broad buyer pool, while St. Regis is a 152-residence bayfront enclave priced for the ultra-high-net-worth end-user. At the top, Cipriani's penthouse collection climbs toward $32M while St. Regis residences run above $12M, so both buildings reach into trophy territory even though they start in completely different places.
Who Should Pick Which
Choose Cipriani Residences Miami if: you want a globally branded tower at the most accessible price in Brickell, you like a high-floor view from an 80-story glass icon (the tallest residential building in the neighborhood), and you are comfortable with a Q4 2028 delivery at 1420 S Miami Avenue in central Brickell. With 397 units and a range running from about $1.1M to roughly $32M, this is the building that fits the widest set of buyers.
Choose St. Regis Residences Brickell if: you want a true bayfront address, a private resident marina, a low-density enclave of only 152 residences, and the full St. Regis butler-service operation. You are buying a Robert A.M. Stern limestone tower at 1809 Brickell Avenue on the South Brickell waterfront, with delivery targeted Q4 2027 for the East tower and a $4.6M starting point. This is the pick for the end-user who wants scarcity and managed luxury over price access.
Investment Profile
The two buildings attract different capital. Cipriani's $1.1M entry and 397-unit count make it the more natural fit for investors and first-time luxury buyers, since the lower cost basis spreads risk and opens a deeper future resale pool. St. Regis skews heavily toward end-users who actually live in the residence, the Latin American family establishing a Miami base or the buyer who has outgrown a conventional condo, and with only 152 units it leans on scarcity rather than volume. Buildings that are mostly owner-occupied tend to hold quality and support a steadier secondary market, which is part of the St. Regis thesis. I run unit-level numbers on either before you commit, because the right answer depends on whether you are buying to use it or to hold it.
My Recommendation
There is no universal winner here. I help clients decide based on their specific use case: primary residence, second home, or investment. If you have narrowed your search to these two, let me pull the actual available units in each and run a unit-level comparison on exact floor, view, and layout.
"When a buyer says they are torn between Cipriani and St. Regis, my first question is always the same: are you buying access or scarcity? At a $1.1M floor with 397 units, Cipriani is the wide door. At a $4.6M floor with 152 bayfront residences, St. Regis is the narrow one. That single distinction answers the question more often than any amenity list."Gerardo Gonzalez, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Compass
"Buyers who rush the brand comparison miss the real decision points. It is not which logo is on the building. It is which building fits your actual life or investment profile."

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is more expensive, Cipriani Residences Miami or St. Regis Residences Brickell?
St. Regis is far more expensive at the entry point. It starts at $4,600,000 for a lower-floor residence, while Cipriani starts at roughly $1,100,000. St. Regis is built as a 152-unit ultra-luxury enclave, so its floor sits more than four times above Cipriani's.
Which delivers sooner?
St. Regis delivers sooner. Its East tower is targeted for Q4 2027, while Cipriani Residences Miami is targeted for Q4 2028. Both are under construction in Brickell as of Q2 2026.
Which building is taller?
Cipriani is much taller. It rises 80 stories and topped 872 feet to become the tallest residential building in Brickell. St. Regis is a lower-rise limestone tower of roughly 50 stories on the South Brickell bayfront.
Which one is on the water?
St. Regis is the bayfront option at 1809 Brickell Avenue on the South Brickell waterfront, with a private resident marina on Biscayne Bay. Cipriani sits inland in central Brickell at 1420 S Miami Avenue and relies on high-floor views rather than direct frontage.
Which has fewer residences?
St. Regis has far fewer, at only 152 residences across its towers, compared with 397 at Cipriani. Lower density is central to the St. Regis pitch; Cipriani's larger count supports its much lower entry price.
Which is a better investment?
It depends on your goal. Cipriani's lower $1.1M cost basis and 397-unit count make it the more flexible play for investors and first buyers. St. Regis, with 152 owner-occupied-leaning bayfront residences, leans on scarcity and a steadier resale market. I run custom numbers on either before you commit.
