Baccarat Residences vs. Cipriani Residences: Brickell’s Battle of Branded Towers

In Brickell, two branded high-rises are defining what “service” means in Miami’s next cycle: Baccarat Residences at the Miami River’s edge and Cipriani Residences Miami along South Miami Avenue.

In South Florida’s ultra-luxury new-construction market, the most valuable upgrade is often timing. The earlier you commit to a residence and assemble a design team, the more control you have over the elements that are expensive, disruptive, or simply impossible to change later: layouts, lighting, smart-home infrastructure, and humidity-forward comfort systems.
