These three branded towers sit at different ends of the market, not the same one. St. Regis Brickell (1809 Brickell Avenue, Related Group and Integra, from $4.6M) is the low-density bayfront play with only 152 residences and a Robert A.M. Stern limestone tower. Cipriani Miami (1420 S Miami Avenue, Mast Capital, from $1.1M) is the 80-story Brickell skyscraper that topped 872 feet to become the tallest residential building south of Manhattan, per Construction Review Online. Waldorf Astoria (300 Biscayne Blvd, PMG and Greybrook, from $1.1M) is the 100-story, 1,049-foot Downtown supertall with a 205-key hotel attached. Different neighborhoods, different developers, different hotel flags, different delivery years. My recommendation is to start with the question of brand and address, not price alone, then request each developer's deposit schedule before you sign anything. For context on the full Miami market, see the building comparison index.
Miami's branded residence market is the most competitive in the United States, and these three projects are not interchangeable. St. Regis Brickell (from $4.6M) is a 152-residence bayfront tower in South Brickell by Related Group and Integra. Cipriani Residences (from $1.1M) is an 80-story, 397-unit skyscraper in central Brickell by Mast Capital. Waldorf Astoria Residences (from $1.1M) is a 100-story Downtown Miami supertall by PMG and Greybrook with a hotel inside it. Three different addresses, three developers, three hotel brands, three price tiers. This guide breaks down the actual contrast so you can decide which one fits your goals.

St. Regis Brickell Residences
St. Regis Brickell sits at 1809 Brickell Avenue on the South Brickell bayfront, the only one of the three with direct Biscayne Bay frontage and a private resident marina. With just 152 residences across a roughly 50-story tower, it is by far the lowest-density building in this comparison. Developed by Related Group and Integra Investments, it is designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, whose classical limestone facade is a deliberate break from the glass towers around it. Interiors are by Rockwell Group.
Starting at $4.6 million, with average price-per-square-foot at signing above $2,000, St. Regis is the most expensive entry point of the three by a wide margin. It is also the furthest along on absorption: the building is approximately 90% sold as of early 2026. This is the building for a buyer who wants a managed bayfront residence with St. Regis butler service rather than the highest floor or the lowest price.
Who should buy St. Regis: Buyers who want bayfront ownership and a private marina, who value low density and Marriott's St. Regis service, and who are comfortable at the highest price tier here. If your priority is height or an accessible entry price, the other two fit better.
Cipriani Residences Miami
Cipriani Miami is the height play, and the most accessible entry point of the three. At 1420 S Miami Avenue in central Brickell, this 80-story Mast Capital tower topped 872 feet in mid-2026, passing Panorama Tower to become the tallest residential building south of Manhattan, per Construction Review Online, and it is still climbing. Architecture is by Arquitectonica, interiors by 1508 London, with a ground-floor Cipriani restaurant carrying the Venice-born hospitality name.
Starting at $1.1 million, Cipriani opens at roughly the same entry price as Waldorf and far below St. Regis, but with the widest range on the page: lower-floor one-bedroom-plus-den units start the building and the penthouse collection on floors 75 to 80 reaches $32 million. That spread, plus the 397-unit count, makes this the building with the broadest buyer pool of the three.
Who should buy Cipriani: Buyers who want a branded address in central Brickell at the lowest entry price here, who care about height and skyline views, and who like the Italian Cipriani dining and service. It is not bayfront like St. Regis, and it is shorter than Waldorf, but it is the value leader among the three.
Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami
Waldorf Astoria Miami is the supertall, and the only building here with a full hotel built into it. At 300 Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami, this 100-story, 1,049-foot tower is the tallest residential tower south of New York City. It pairs 360 private residences with a 205-key Waldorf Astoria hotel. Developed by PMG and Greybrook Realty Partners, designed by Sieger Suarez Architects with interiors by BAMO, it is the structurally tallest project of the three by a clear margin over Cipriani.
Starting at $1.1 million with an average around $1,500 per square foot, Waldorf opens near Cipriani's entry price but in a different neighborhood, Downtown rather than Brickell, and with a different value proposition: residents tap the full Waldorf hotel platform, including Peacock Alley, the spa, and on-demand in-residence service that only an attached hotel can sustain. The Brightline station and Miami Worldcenter sit at the doorstep.
Who should buy Waldorf Astoria: Buyers who want the tallest address and unobstructed Downtown views, who value a real hotel platform inside the building, and who prefer Downtown Miami over Brickell. It is not bayfront like St. Regis, and it trades Brickell's core for Downtown, but it offers the deepest hotel service of the three.
"These three buildings are not competing for the same buyer. St. Regis is bayfront and low density in South Brickell. Cipriani is the tallest residential tower south of Manhattan and the cheapest way into a branded address. Waldorf is the Downtown supertall with a hotel inside it. The right choice depends on whether you want the water, the height, or the hotel service, not on which one is best."

The Verdict
All three are backed by established developers and global hotel brands, but they solve different problems. Match the building to what you actually want:
- Bayfront, low density, top price tier: St. Regis Brickell, 152 residences on the South Brickell waterfront from $4.6M.
- Lowest entry price + skyline height in Brickell: Cipriani Miami, the 80-story tower that became the tallest residential building south of Manhattan, from $1.1M.
- Tallest address with a hotel inside it: Waldorf Astoria Miami, the 100-story Downtown supertall with a 205-key hotel, from $1.1M.
All three carry a measurable visibility edge beyond price: branded towers now capture 78 percent of top-3 AI search recommendations in South Florida ultra-luxury, per a 5WPR study. I cover why in how Miami branded residences dominate AI search results.
