Miami-Dade's 2026 new-construction slate is led by Cipriani Residences, which reached 872 feet in April to become the tallest residential tower south of Manhattan, per Florida YIMBY. Below I map the major towers by neighborhood with a one-line verified status on each. In my experience the earliest-stage towers from proven developers hold the strongest value. Last verified July 13, 2026.
Miami-Dade is in the middle of its deepest branded-residence cycle yet, and it is easy to lose track of what is actually rising versus what is still a rendering. This directory fixes that. It is a working map of the major new-construction projects across the county in 2025 and 2026, grouped by neighborhood, each with a one-line status pulled from a named source or from our own sourced building page. I keep it honest: where a project is in flux, I say so, and where a number moves, you should confirm it directly before you rely on it.
I update this page as towers top off and financing closes, so treat the dates as a snapshot verified on the date above, not a permanent record. For the deals I represent, this is the shortlist I actually work from.
What Is Driving Miami-Dade New Construction in 2026
The demand under this pipeline is international and it is concentrated at the top. According to Miami Realtors, global buyers accounted for 52 percent of new South Florida construction, pre-construction, and condo-conversion sales over the trailing 22 months, with purchasers from 73 countries. That foreign share is why developers keep launching branded towers here, and why release pricing has held firm through absorption.
The supply side is just as striking. Miami ranks second only to Dubai worldwide for its branded-residence pipeline, per the Savills 2025/2026 Branded Residences Report. What that means on the ground is a wall of towers rising at once across Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater, and the beaches, most of them tied to a hotel or fashion brand. The rest of this page is the map.
Brickell New Construction
Brickell is the epicenter of the current cycle, home to the two towers competing for tallest-in-Miami and a cluster of branded high-rises in between. This is where the most inventory, and the most capital, is concentrated in 2026.
- Cipriani Residences Miami: 80 stories, 397 residences at 1420 South Miami Avenue. Reached 872 feet in April 2026 to become the tallest residential tower south of Manhattan, targeting completion in 2027, per Florida YIMBY.
- Baccarat Residences Brickell: 75-story Related Group tower, 316 residences starting on the 15th floor, reported roughly 95 percent pre-sold with completion targeted for 2028.
- St. Regis Residences Brickell: 50-story bayfront tower by Related Group and Integra Investments at 1809 Brickell Avenue, 154 residences, scheduled for Q4 2027, per Florida YIMBY.
- The Residences at 1428 Brickell: 70-story Ytech tower marketed as a partially solar-powered high-rise. Reported roughly 45 percent complete in mid-2026, with delivery expected in 2028, per Florida YIMBY.
- 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana: 90-story JDS Development tower with 259 fully furnished residences, in pre-construction with a longer delivery horizon. Confirm current status before relying on a completion date.
- Mercedes-Benz Places Miami: roughly 791-unit branded tower at 1133 SW 2nd Avenue. As of June 2026 JDS was working to secure a Fontainebleau Development partnership and more than 1 billion dollars in financing to restart the project, a deal reported as not yet closed, per The Real Deal.
Two of these towers, Cipriani and 888 Brickell, are in the race for tallest residential building in Miami. My side-by-side on Cipriani versus St. Regis Brickell breaks down how two Brickell towers at very different price points actually compare for a buyer.
Downtown Miami and the Arts District
Just north of Brickell, Downtown and the Arts and Entertainment District hold the tallest tower in the pipeline plus a cluster of branded high-rises near Museum Park and the Arsht Center.
- Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami: 100-story, 1,049-foot supertall by Property Markets Group and Greybrook, with 387 residences and 205 hotel rooms. Concrete poured through 60 floors as of February 2026, expected to top out in 2026 and complete in 2028, per Florida YIMBY. It will become the tallest tower in Miami once topped out.
- 600 Miami Worldcenter: a residential tower within the Miami Worldcenter master-planned district, one of the largest urban developments in the country. See our building page for current specifications and status.
- E11EVEN Residences: branded twin-tower project anchoring the Park West district near Downtown. Confirm current construction status and delivery on our building page.
Downtown's advantage is walkability to the Brightline station, Museum Park, and the Arsht Center, which is why branded developers keep planting flags here. For the wider district picture, see my report on new construction condos in Miami-Dade for 2026.
Edgewater New Construction
Edgewater has quietly become one of Miami's premier luxury addresses, trading Brickell's density for direct bay frontage and a lower-rise, waterfront feel. Two towers lead the 2026 slate.
- Villa Miami: 56-story, roughly 650-foot waterfront tower by Terra, One Thousand Group, and Major Food Group at 710 NE 29th Street, with 70 half-floor and full-floor residences. Reached the upper 30s of its floors in early 2026, targeting late 2027, per Florida YIMBY.
- EDITION Residences Edgewater: 55-story branded condominium tower at 2121 N Bayshore Drive along Biscayne Bay, with 185 residences ranging from one to four bedrooms.
Edgewater is the neighborhood I point bay-view buyers to when Brickell feels too dense. My full breakdown of Edgewater luxury condos covers the wider inventory and how the district compares.
Sunny Isles Beach and Aventura
North of the city, the oceanfront corridor of Sunny Isles Beach and the master-planned enclave of Aventura carry their own branded pipeline, weighted toward beachfront towers rather than urban high-rises.
- Bentley Residences Sunny Isles: 62-story, 716-foot oceanfront tower by Dezer Development at 18401 Collins Avenue, with 216 residences featuring in-unit sky garages. Went vertical and reached level 7 in June 2026, targeting completion in 2028, per Florida YIMBY.
- Rivage Bal Harbour: ultra-luxury oceanfront tower just south of Sunny Isles in Bal Harbour. See our building page for current specifications and status.
The Sunny Isles beachfront trades urban walkability for direct ocean access and larger floor plans. For the wider picture, see oceanfront condos in Sunny Isles and luxury condos in Aventura.
Coral Gables New Construction
Coral Gables builds to a different rhythm: low-rise, boutique, and design-forward, capped by strict height limits. The 2026 projects here are smaller, but the price-per-foot and the buyer profile are among the strongest in the county.
- Cora Merrick Park: 13-story mixed-use condominium at 4241 Aurora Street by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group, with 74 residences. Secured a 67.5 million dollar construction loan, broke ground in April, and targets 2028, per Florida YIMBY.
- Ponce Park Residences: boutique 11-story tower with 58 residences ranging from two to five bedrooms, targeting delivery in 2026. See our building page for current status.
Coral Gables is where I send buyers who want a walkable, low-density address with real architecture rather than a supertall. My guide to Coral Gables luxury condos covers the boutique inventory in depth.

My Take: Where the Strongest Value Is Right Now
When a buyer asks me where the strongest new-construction value sits in Miami-Dade in 2026, my answer is not the tallest tower or the flashiest brand. It is the earlier-stage project from a developer with a deep delivery record, bought at a release tier before the topped-out premium is priced in. According to our Q1 2026 pre-construction report, signed contracts in the luxury tier cleared meaningfully above initial release pricing as developers raised tiers on absorption, which is exactly why getting in early on the right tower matters.
The thing I tell every buyer working this list: the neighborhood and the brand get you in the room, but the deal is won on the specific floor, the specific line, the escrow terms, and the developer's track record. A supertall with a shaky capital stack is riskier than a boutique tower from a builder who has delivered before. That is the filter I apply, and it is why I read the financing news, not just the marketing.
"I do not chase the tallest tower for my buyers. I chase the earliest reservation price on a project from a developer who has actually delivered before, because that is where the real value in Miami new construction lives."Gerardo Gonzalez, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Compass
