May 23rd, 2025 – Faena is once again rewriting the rules of real estate in Miami. This time, the stage is not the oceanfront but the city’s ever-evolving riverfront, where Faena Residences Miami—the brand’s first standalone residential development—has officially launched sales.

With some contracts already underway, the dual-tower development represents more than a milestone for the Faena brand—it’s a bold architectural and cultural statement on what the next chapter of Miami living can look like.

Developed in close collaboration with Alan Faena, whose namesake district reshaped Miami Beach into an international cultural magnet, this project brings that same sense of artistry, storytelling, and immersive lifestyle to the banks of the Miami River.

The location is no accident. Miami’s riverfront, once overlooked, is now emerging as one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Backed by more than $25 billion in real estate investment, the area is being redefined with over 10,000 residential units planned or underway, alongside a surge of new retail, culinary, and hospitality developments.

Faena Residences Miami positions itself as the cultural anchor of this transformation—a “vertical district” that borrows the DNA of Faena’s beachfront vision and reshapes it for a residential context. At its core is a dramatic 45,000-square-foot Sky Bridge dedicated entirely to cultural programming, performance, wellness, and community engagement. This is Faena’s signature narrative approach on a grand new scale: think Art Basel energy, but built for permanence.

This project also carries historical significance as the last architectural work by the late Rafael Viñoly, the internationally celebrated architect behind such icons as 432 Park Avenue and the Carrasco International Airport in Uruguay. Here, Viñoly’s sculptural form rises above the river with deliberate grace—its design echoing the flow of water below, the organic rhythm of the city around it, and the vertical ambition of a skyline in constant flux.

The pair of 60-story towers will house 434 luxury condominiums, each infused with intention, detail, and a sense of place.

The interiors mark a significant debut as well: this is the first branded residence project for London-based Bryan O’Sullivan Studio (BOS), known for their subtle yet emotionally resonant approach to design.

In collaboration with Faena Design Studio, BOS has crafted a residential expression of the brand that balances theatrical flair with modern serenity. Expect muted reds, layered textures, and atmospheric flourishes that echo the drama of Faena Miami Beach but with a quieter, more intimate tone. Shared spaces and private residences alike carry the same through-line: a lived-in opulence that respects both craft and comfort.

Faena Residences Miami offers a range of layouts, from one- to four-bedroom units between 700 and 3,300 square feet, as well as lofts and penthouses that promise future releases at higher price points. Current prices range from approximately $1.3 million to $10 million, positioning the residences at the upper tier of Miami’s luxury residential market.

Every residence is designed not only as a home but as a canvas—spaces intended to be filled with personality, art, and moments that matter.

With this project, Faena is reasserting its singular approach to hospitality and design—one where architecture, community, and creativity are inseparable. The result is a development that doesn’t merely reflect Miami’s transformation, but actively shapes it.
