Swire Properties, a prominent developer known for its innovative projects, has achieved a major milestone with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approving their ambitious One Island Drive development on Brickell Key. This green light propels Swire Properties closer to realizing its visionary project, which promises to be an architectural marvel in the heart of Miami.
The taller tower will be called The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, with 220 residential units.
The second tower will be a Mandarin Oriental hotel with 151 guest rooms, 61 private residences and 28 hotel residences.
The FAA approval specifies the maximum heights for both towers. Tower 1, aptly named The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, has been approved to soar over 1,000 feet above ground or 1,049 feet above sea level, making it a prominent fixture in the city’s skyline. This tower will offer 220 luxurious residential units, providing residents with an unparalleled living experience of sophistication and elegance. Tower 2, the Mandarin Oriental hotel component, has been approved to reach a height of 691 feet above ground or 700 feet above sea level. It will encompass 151 guest rooms, 61 private residences, and 28 hotel residences, catering to discerning travelers seeking an extraordinary hospitality experience.
One Island Drive will comprise two striking towers redefining the city’s skyline. Designed by the esteemed firm Kohn Pedersen Fox, these towers will boast distinctive architectural styles, setting them apart from the conventional Miami skyline while harmoniously complementing each other. Renowned Parisian designer Tristan Auer will meticulously craft the interiors of the residential units. In contrast, the esteemed Parisian designer Laura Gonzalez will bring the hotel interiors to life. The acclaimed Thai firm Shma will lead the landscape architecture, ensuring a breathtaking fusion of natural and urban elements within the development.
Positioned at the southernmost tip of Brickell Key, One Island Drive will serve as a serene oasis amidst the energetic city. The development will feature panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, creating a captivating backdrop for residents and guests. The development will encompass over 100,000 square feet of amenities connected by a resort-style podium. From multi-tiered infinity swimming pools and private cabanas to executive work lounges and world-class restaurants, residents and guests will enjoy an opulent lifestyle complemented by a signature spa and state-of-the-art health and wellness facilities. The lush greenery interspersed throughout the development and the Brickell Key Baywalk extension will create a vibrant and natural ambiance, inviting residents to indulge in an exceptional living experience.
Sales for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, are set to commence in late 2023, offering prospective buyers a chance to own a piece of Miami’s luxury real estate market. With an array of high-end residential options, the development caters to discerning buyers seeking sophisticated design, exceptional amenities, and a prime location in one of Miami’s most coveted neighborhoods.
