New Construction in Miami-Dade County 2026: The Major Projects by Area

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 the November 2025 New Construction Global Sales Report from 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, and I count it myself rather than repeat a round number. Of the 76 South Florida projects LuxuryDade tracks with a dated published source, 53 sit in Miami-Dade carrying 16,162 published units, and only 22 of those had cleared permitting as of September 5, 2026, per our pipeline stage report. Branding is the variable buyers underrate: Knight Frank wrote in September 2025 that in cities such as Miami branded residences have become almost ubiquitous, diluting the premium a household name once carried on its own, and that more than 80 percent of branded projects globally are delivered by hotel brands. 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. Topped out at roughly 950 feet in July 2026 to become the tallest residential tower south of Manhattan, with delivery guided to Summer 2027, per PROFILEmiami.
• Baccarat Residences Brickell: 75-story Related Group tower with GTIS Partners at 444 Brickell Avenue, 360 residences (324 tower units, 8 penthouses, and 28 riverfront flats and duplexes), delivery targeted for early 2028 per the Related Group offering plan and the Miami-Dade building permit record.
• St. Regis Residences Brickell: 50-story bayfront tower by Related Group and Integra Investments at 1809 Brickell Avenue, 152 residences, scheduled for Q4 2027, per Florida YIMBY.
• The Residences at 1428 Brickell: 70-story, 850-foot Ytech tower with 189 residences, wrapping over 20,000 square feet of photovoltaic glass into its facade. Ytech broke ground in November 2024 and completed the foundation pour in September 2025, per Florida YIMBY, with delivery estimated for 2028.
• 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana: 90-story JDS Development tower designed to reach 1,049 feet, with 259 fully furnished residences. Construction has not begun and no delivery date is published, per The Real Deal.
• Mercedes-Benz Places Miami: 791 residences across 67 stories at 1 Southside Park in Brickell, the first Mercedes-Benz branded residential project in the United States. Completion is now pointed at 2028, pushed back from 2027: The Real Deal reported in April 2026 that construction was delayed under a foreclosure suit on the site, and as of August 25, 2026 the rescue financing had still not closed. Treat the delivery date as open until it does.

888 Brickell is designed to 1,049 feet, which would tie the Waldorf Astoria for tallest in Miami, while Cipriani holds the title today at roughly 950 feet. 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 Realty Partners with Mohari Hospitality, S2 Development and Hilton, carrying 387 residences and 205 hotel rooms. Construction began on the ninth and final cube in August 2026 with the structure at level 85, and signage on site advertises topping out this winter, per Florida YIMBY. It is backed by 668 million dollars in construction financing from Bank OZK and Related Fund Management, and completion is anticipated in the second quarter of 2028. At 1,049 feet it will be Florida's first supertall.
• 600 Miami Worldcenter: 606 fully furnished residences across 32 stories inside the 27-acre Miami Worldcenter district, by Merrimac Ventures and Aria Development Group. Studios start near 400,000 dollars, there are no rental restrictions, and completion is estimated for 2026. It is not sold out.
• E11EVEN Residences: 457 residences across 65 stories at 20 Northeast 11th Street, by PMG and E11even Partners. This one is finished, not pending: the building completed in June 2026 and closings began that March.

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 waterfront tower by Terra, One Thousand Group, and Major Food Group at 710 NE 29th Street, with 70 half-floor and full-floor residences. Construction surpassed the 21st floor in January 2026, per PROFILEmiami, with delivery targeted for late 2027.
• Aria Reserve Miami: the tallest twin waterfront residential development in the United States, two 62-story Melo Group towers at 700 and 725 NE 24th Street with 792 residences. Florida YIMBY reported in April 2026 that the South Tower had delivered and the North Tower was nearing completion for 2026.
• EDITION Residences Edgewater: 55-story Two Roads Development tower at 2121 N Bayshore Drive along Biscayne Bay, with 185 residences from one to four bedrooms. Two Roads settled with the holdout Biscayne 21 owners for about 50 million dollars, and managing partner Taylor Collins told the Miami Herald the building finishes in September 2029.

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: 63-story, 749-foot oceanfront tower by Dezer Development at 18401 Collins Avenue, with 216 residences served by the patented Dezervator car elevator. The superstructure had advanced to roughly 13 stories as of August 6, 2026, per Florida YIMBY, with completion targeted for 2028.
• Rivage Bal Harbour: 56 residences across 24 stories at 10245 Collins Avenue, on the last three oceanfront acres in Bal Harbour, by Related Group and Two Roads Development with SOM architecture. Broke ground in September 2024 against a 424 million dollar construction loan, with completion slated for 2027.

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: 12-story mixed-use condominium at 4241 Aurora Street by Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group, with 74 residences. It secured a 67.5 million dollar construction loan, per Florida YIMBY, construction began in April 2026 and completion is expected in 2028.
• Ponce Park Residences: boutique 11-story Allen Morris Company tower at 3000 Ponce de Leon Boulevard with 58 residences from two to five bedrooms. Construction began in the fourth quarter of 2025 and completion is now targeted for early 2028, not 2026.

One more Miami-Dade project belongs on this map even though it sits outside the districts above. Six Fisher Island delivers just 50 residences on 6.5 acres of the former Vanderbilt estate, priced from 15.5 million dollars by Related Group with BH Group and Globe Invest, with completion estimated for 2026. It is the smallest unit count and the highest entry price on this page.

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. My read from our Q1 2026 pre-construction report is that developers kept lifting release tiers as inventory absorbed, so the buyers who committed early paid the earlier tier. I am not going to put a precise premium on that, because the tier schedules are private to each project.

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
