A New Benchmark Year for South Florida Luxury Living
2025 is shaping up as a pivot point for South Florida’s high end residential market, with a cluster of landmark projects moving from vision to construction. From Miami’s urban waterfront to the quieter strands of Broward and Palm Beach County, this new wave of development is less about headline square footage and more about the quality of architecture, service and lifestyle that can be delivered in a single address.
Across these ten projects, several themes repeat: deep collaborations with global hospitality brands, design teams drawn from the world’s most respected studios, and a renewed focus on privacy, wellness and long term livability. From Brickell and the downtown core to the Palm-beach coastline, developers are leaning into scarcity, crafting low density enclaves, supertall towers and sustainable flagships that are designed to remain relevant decades from now.
Miami-Dade: Iconic Towers Redefining the Skyline
In Downtown Miami, Waldorf Astoria Miami is set to become the region’s first true supertall tower, stacking nine glass cubes into a singular silhouette that will permanently change the skyline. For buyers focused on the private residences, Waldorf Astoria Residences Downtown Miami pairs that architecture with five star services, a hotel managed lobby for guests, an owners only lobby and sky lounge, resort pool deck, spa and dining, all calibrated for owners who expect discretion and a cosmopolitan in building experience.
Farther north along Miami Beach, Aman Residences Miami Beach introduces the Aman brand to the Faena District with a deliberately low key sense of luxury. An 18 story oceanfront tower designed by Kengo Kuma, with only 22 residences, sits alongside a restored Versailles hotel that will operate as an Aman boutique property. The emphasis is on serenity and craftsmanship, with natural materials, open floor plans that blur indoor and outdoor space, a serious wellness program and an Aman Club that is expected to become one of the most discreet social anchors in Mid Beach.
South in Brickell, The St. Regis Residences, Miami translates one of hospitality’s most storied names into a bayfront condominium. Rising 50 stories along the shoreline, the tower brings the first South Florida residential commission for Robert A. M. Stern Architects. At St. Regis® Residences Brickell, classical proportions, nautical references and richly detailed interiors by Rockwell Group frame a lifestyle defined by butler service, a private marina, high touch dining and over 50,000 square feet of amenities, from tea lounge to spa and fitness.
On Sunny Isles Beach, Dezer Development’s latest collaboration with an automotive marque, Bentley Residences Sunny Isles, takes sky garages to a new level. Residents drive into a Dezervator car lift, ascend with their vehicle and park in a private garage integrated into the residence, typically with capacity for three or four cars and in home charging. Inside, expansive glass, deep terraces with plunge pools, Italian millwork and a club level amenity program that includes whisky and cigar rooms, cinema and a restaurant curated by a celebrity chef echo the mood of a private automotive club on the ocean.
Back in Mid Beach, The Perigon Miami Beach positions itself as one of the most architecturally progressive projects on the sand. Designed by OMA as a sequence of sculpted, diamond like volumes, the building maximises ocean, bay and skyline views while protecting privacy between only 73 residences. Interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners soften the geometry with layered, residential warmth, while a suite of amenities that includes an oceanfront restaurant and speakeasy style lounge by a Michelin starred chef, cinema, guest suites and family spaces creates a full service but carefully curated beachfront lifestyle.
The final Miami entry, The Residences at 1428 Brickell, stands apart not because of a hospitality flag, but because of its focus on sustainability. The 70 story tower incorporates a vertical Solar Backbone of more than 500 photovoltaic panels into its western facade, generating meaningful on site power and giving the building an instantly recognisable profile on the Brickell skyline. Inside, 189 residences sit in a strictly residential setting with no hotel component, topped by a dramatic penthouse and capped with three levels of amenities high above the city, including multiple pools, a wine and art lounge, wellness suites and flexible workspaces that appeal to globally mobile owners.
Broward County: Discreet Beachfront Luxury and Branded Service
North of the Miami line, the most anticipated projects are notably lower density. In Hillsboro Beach, Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach stretches across nearly twelve acres from ocean to Intracoastal on what locals know as Millionaire’s Mile. Two five story buildings, one on the sand and one on the bay, hold only 92 residences, many of which can be combined into estate sized homes. Architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Studio Piet Boon favour soft curves, wide terraces and a calm material palette, framing a lifestyle anchored by Rosewood managed spa, fitness and wellness spaces, racquet courts, a meditation garden, oceanfront pool and an intimate private marina.
Further north in Pompano, The Ritz-Carlton Residences® Pompano Beach brings one of the world’s best known luxury hotel brands to a market that has only recently entered the ultra luxury conversation. A 32 story Beach Tower directly on the Atlantic pairs with a 14 story Marina Tower on the Intracoastal, together offering 205 residences with floor to ceiling glass, expansive terraces and, at the top, private rooftop pools for select penthouses. Across more than 35,000 square feet of amenities, owners can move between oceanfront and marina pools, beach club, spa, yacht concierge and social spaces operated to Ritz Carlton standards, effectively turning Pompano into a full service resort address.
Palm Beach County: Heritage, Rarity and Resort Caliber Living
On the West Palm waterfront, South Flagler House reads as a love letter to Palm Beach tradition while sitting firmly within the fabric of a growing city. Two 28 story towers on a 3.5 acre bayfront site are designed by RAMSA with stepped massing, loggias and a pale facade that nods to historic island estates across the Intracoastal. Inside, generously scaled residences with long east facing terraces and interiors by Pembrooke & Ives connect directly to a club like amenity suite, from multiple pools and spa facilities to dining rooms, a library and an indoor pickleball court, all supported by hospitality style staff.
Across the bridge on Palm Beach Island itself, Aman Palm Beach Residences is poised to become one of the rarest offerings not only in South Florida, but in the entire Aman portfolio. Three low rise buildings, each only five stories, are planned for a nearly five acre oceanfront site that has long been off the market. With roughly 41 expansive residences layered above an Aman boutique hotel, early concepts from OMA and Studio Sofield suggest an ultra private compound of large floor through homes, penthouses with pools, dense landscaping and a wellness focused amenity program that keeps the quiet character of Palm Beach while finally delivering true five star, fully serviced condominium living on the island.
Positioning as a Buyer in 2025
For globally mobile buyers, the practical question is how to position within this 2025 pipeline. Urbanists who want immediate access to business districts, fine dining and cultural life will naturally gravitate toward Brickell and Downtown, where Waldorf Astoria Miami, The Residences at 1428 Brickell and St. Regis sit at the top of the hierarchy. Those who prefer Miami-beach’s sand and scene, but want contemporary architecture, will pay close attention to The Perigon and Aman’s Miami Beach project, each offering boutique scale and strong design pedigrees.
Buyers seeking more space, quieter beaches and easier Intracoastal boating increasingly look to Broward and the northern counties. Low rise enclaves such as Hillsboro-beach and Pompano-beach, as well as the emerging West-palm-beach skyline, now provide alternatives that feel less like traditional condominiums and more like horizontal resorts or private clubs. Across all of these projects, considerations such as construction timeline, deposit structure, long term carrying costs, privacy, brand alignment and exit liquidity are as important as finishes or views, and careful advisory work can make the difference between simply buying a residence and securing a legacy asset.
FAQs
Q: Which 2025 project is best if I want a walkable urban lifestyle in Miami? A: Buyers who prioritise walkability and a true city feel typically focus on Brickell and Downtown. Waldorf Astoria Miami offers a dramatic supertall experience with hotel energy, while The Residences at 1428 Brickell and St. Regis in Brickell provide more classically oriented residential environments with deep amenity stacks and strong bay views.
Q: How should I think about branded versus non branded residences on this list? A: Branded properties such as Waldorf Astoria, Aman, Rosewood, Ritz Carlton and Bentley Residences generally deliver systematised services, hotel trained staff and globally recognised names that can support resale and rental performance. A project like The Residences at 1428 Brickell, by contrast, leans on design innovation and sustainability rather than a hospitality flag, which can appeal to buyers who prefer a more private, residential tone.
Q: What distinguishes Broward’s new projects from those in Miami and Palm Beach? A: Developments in Hillsboro Beach and Pompano focus on lower density, generous acreage and a more relaxed pace. Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach, for example, combines ocean to bay frontage, gardens and a marina in an estate like setting, while The Ritz-Carlton Residences® Pompano Beach offers a full resort program without the intensity of Miami or the formality of classic Palm Beach.
Q: How can I compare oceanfront, bayfront and Intracoastal locations when choosing among these projects? A: Oceanfront sites maximise direct access to the sand and unbroken views, but bayfront and Intracoastal positions often provide calmer water, yacht facilities and more dramatic skyline vistas, especially in Brickell and West Palm. Many buyers choose to prioritise lifestyle first, then work backwards to the address that best aligns with how they actually plan to use the property through the year.
Q: What is the most effective way to approach reservations and due diligence for these 2025 projects? A: The most efficient strategy is to define your lifestyle brief, budget range and timing, then review floor plans, view corridors, brand obligations and association structures across several buildings in parallel. A specialised advisor who knows the nuances of each tower can negotiate allocations and timelines discreetly, and the team at MILLION Luxury can provide that level of guidance for clients seeking a quiet, thoroughly researched acquisition across South Florida’s 2025 pipeline.
