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. Both are designed by Arquitectonica, yet their propositions diverge in the details that matter to end users and long-term holders: waterfront access and marina positioning versus a brand-led dining culture and an upper-tier collection in the tower’s top floors. This guide compares what is publicly marketed today, with a focus on layout philosophy, amenities, construction signals, and who each tower tends to fit.

Customizing a Pre-Construction Condo in Miami: Decision Deadlines, Design Control, and Deposit Reality

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. This editorial frames pre-construction customization the way sophisticated buyers actually experience it, as a sequence of decision deadlines, technical constraints, and financial choreography that rewards clarity.

Baccarat Residences vs Una Residences: Two Waterfront View Philosophies in Brickell

In Brickell’s most coveted edge-of-water parcels, “the view” is not a single promise. It is a choreography of height, orientation, glazing, and what sits between you and the horizon. Baccarat Residences and Una Residences represent two distinct ways to buy into Biscayne Bay: one through a high-rise, dual-water icon at the river mouth, the other through a boutique, yacht-inspired curve designed to keep the bay constantly in frame.

Miami’s 1,049-Foot Era: How Supertalls Are Rewriting the Luxury Condo Buyer’s Playbook

Miami’s next generation of ultra-tall, brand-led towers is converging around a widely referenced practical height ceiling of 1,049 feet, creating a new class of “sky estates” defined as much by service, resilience, and liquidity as by view.
