Baccarat Residences Brickell vs. St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles: High-Design Urban Tower or Beachfront Opulence?
Two of South Florida’s most watched branded residential launches sit at opposite ends of the lifestyle spectrum: an urban river-and-bay address in Brickell, and a resort-forward oceanfront setting in Sunny Isles. Baccarat Residences Brickell is conceived as a 75-story, approximately 848-foot tower with 360 residences and an amenity program marketed at more than 75,000 square feet, including a private marina component tied to its waterfront location. St. Regis® Residences Sunny Isles, planned as twin 62-story towers with roughly 340 residences, leans into a classic beach-club rhythm and the brand’s signature Butler Service culture. For buyers deciding between these two icons-in-the-making, the right answer is rarely about which name is louder. It is about which daily cadence, view orientation, ownership economics, and long-term use case best matches how you live in South Florida.
