Inside Faena Residences Miami, Faena's First Standalone Residence
The pool at Faena Residences Miami. Binyan Studios When Faena Hotel Miami Beach opened in 2015, it transformed the city's luxury hotel scene by introducing the city to a new level of five-star hospitality fused with a bold mix of art, culture, and cinematic design. Instantly recognizable by its signature red accents, gilded details, larger-than-life artwork, and theatrical flair, the hotel quickly became known for its glam nightlife, elevated cuisine, and sumptuous spa services in a vibrant and immersive atmosphere that blurred the lines between hotel, theater, and cultural institution. The Miami Beach property marked the second opening in the brand's portfolio. Founder Alan Faena, the Argentine hotelier and real estate visionary, first launched Faena Hotel Buenos Aires in 2004. In addition to future hotel openings, including the highly anticipated Faena Hotel New York, the brand recently announced its first-ever standalone residential scheme: Faena Residences Miami, located within rapidly transforming Miami Riverfront in downtown Miami. "As we transformed Miami Beach into a global hub of art, culture, hospitality, and design, we now embark on a new journey, one that promises to create a groundbreaking cultural epicenter along the Miami River," Alan Faena exclusively tells Forbes. Just as the Faena Hotel Miami Beach reshaped six blocks of Miami Beach's Collins Avenue, the forthcoming Faena Residences Miami will reimagine the city's evolving riverfront, a new vertical neighborhood centered on immersive culture, unique dining, curated retail, and waterfront experiences designed for a new generation of global residents. Faena Residences Miami allows brand devotees to live a full-time Faena lifestyle. A rendering of a living space. Binyan Studios Set to open in 2029, Faena Residences Miami is the final architectural work by the late and notable architect Rafael Viñoly. There are two glass-clad towers rising 60 stories each, which are connected via a sculptural Sky Bridge on the upper levels, marking a striking new addition to Miami's ever-evolving skyline. The project includes 434 residences within these two towers, with interiors envisioned by Faena Design Studio alongside London-based Bryan O'Sullivan Studio (BOS). The design aesthetic pays homage to the brand's identity with muted red tones, layered textures, and expressive detailing but reimagined through a timeless lens suited for residential living. 'The soul of Faena will be reflected in every detail of this project,' he says. 'From the macro to the micro, every corner is given the same thoughtfulness and attention to detail. From the 80-meter-long murals designed by Juan Gatti to the smallest touches within the space, everything is crafted under the Faena way with intention and love.' A rendering of the tower. Binyan Studios In true Faena fashion, the development will include 45,000 square feet of amenity space dedicated exclusively to year-round cultural events, performance venues, and wellness. Most of this programming will be located in the Sky Bridge. In addition to the building's many amenities, residents will be able to enjoy waterfront living, private boat tours, and walkable access to the Brickell City Centre, offering the perfect mixture of cosmopolitan living with a tranquil waterfront lifestyle. Units range from one to four bedrooms with layouts spanning 700 square feet to 3,300 square feet. Pricing will range from $1.3 million to $10 million, and sales are currently underway. Larger lofts and penthouse units will be introduced closer to the opening.
