Aman Miami Beach Residences: Pre-Construction Buyer's Guide (2026)

Aman Miami Beach is the first Aman-branded residence in the continental United States and the second in North America after Aman New York at the Crown Building. It is also the smallest new oceanfront residential project on Miami Beach's Mid-Beach oceanfront, with just 22 branded residences rising in an 18-story tower designed by Kengo Kuma on the parcel of the historic Versailles Hotel at 3425 Collins Avenue.

The development is a joint venture between OKO Group -- the Miami- and New York-based real estate company led by Aman chairman and CEO Vladislav Doronin -- and Access Industries, the New York investment firm founded by Sir Leonard Blavatnik. The residential tower sits alongside the preserved and restored Versailles building, which will reopen with 56 Aman hotel keys designed by long-time Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy of Kuala Lumpur-based Denniston.

Vertical construction began in August 2025, top-off is targeted for early 2026, and delivery is scheduled for 2027. The residences were fully presold at launch, so buyer interest today is anchored on the resale queue rather than the primary sales list.

The Quick Take

Where is Aman Miami Beach?

The site fronts 3425 Collins Avenue on Mid-Beach, one block south of 35th Street. That places it immediately adjacent to the Faena District, the four-block stretch of Collins Avenue from 32nd to 36th Streets that Alan Faena redeveloped around the Faena Hotel, the OMA-designed Faena Forum, and the Damien Hirst-installed Gone but Not Forgotten gold mammoth at the pool deck of Faena House.

Mid-Beach itself sits between the noise density of South Beach and the residential-only oceanfront north of 45th Street. A short walk or bike ride north on the beachwalk brings you to Soho Beach House at 4385 Collins, and continuing north to the Fontainebleau at 4441 Collins and the Miami Beach EDITION at 2901 Collins to the south. Mount Sinai Medical Center sits west on the 41st Street corridor, which handles Mid-Beach grocery, banking, and dining logistics.

The ocean is right at the property line. The Atlantic beach here runs uninterrupted along the Mid-Beach oceanwalk south to South Pointe and north through Surfside to Bal Harbour.

Who's Behind Aman Miami Beach?

The development team splits into three principals:

OKO Group -- founded in 2015 by Vladislav Doronin, who is also Aman's chairman and CEO. Doronin bought Aman in 2014 through an investor group and has expanded the brand from a resort-only footprint into gateway urban properties -- Aman Tokyo (2014), Aman New York (2022), and Aman Nai Lert Bangkok among them -- while pushing Aman aggressively into standalone branded residential. OKO's other Miami-area projects include Missoni Baia and Una Residences.

Access Industries -- Sir Leonard Blavatnik's New York-based privately held investment firm, founded in 1986. Access owns or has held stakes in Warner Music Group, LyondellBasell, DAZN, Calpine, and A24. The Aman partnership pairs Doronin's operating and development track record with Access's capital.

Aman -- the hospitality operator. Aman was founded in 1988 by Indonesian hotelier Adrian Zecha, who opened the first property, Amanpuri, on Phuket that January with only 40 rooms. The brand grew as a chain of remote, minimalist boutique resorts oriented around seclusion and staff-heavy service. Doronin's 2014 acquisition transitioned Aman from resort-only to a vertically integrated hotel-and-residence platform. The Aman portfolio in 2026 spans roughly 35 hotels, resorts, and residential projects across 20 countries.

Architecture and Design

The design architect is Kengo Kuma (born Kanagawa, 1954), founder of Kengo Kuma & Associates in 1990 and one of the defining Japanese architects of his generation. Kuma designed the Japan National Stadium for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the V&A Dundee, the LVMH Group's Japan headquarters, and the Suntory Museum of Art. He is emeritus professor of architecture at the University of Tokyo and holds the 2016 Global Award for Sustainable Architecture. Aman Miami Beach is his first Miami residential commission.

Kuma's Miami Beach design departs from the glass-curtain-wall norm of Collins Avenue. The 18-story tower carries a tiered, scalloped facade that steps in and out to give every residence direct ocean exposure. Between the terraces, the elevations are worked in Japanese material vocabulary -- stone, wood, and ceramic elements that read as craft-oriented rather than reflective. Terraces run deep enough to function as outdoor rooms.

The Versailles Hotel building, a 1940s Mid-Beach landmark, is being preserved and restored on the same parcel. It carries the 56 Aman hotel keys and the ground-floor arrival, spa, and food-and-beverage program. Jean-Michel Gathy's Denniston -- a long-time Aman design partner across roughly 10 Aman properties including Aman New York -- handles the hotel interiors.

Suffolk Construction is the general contractor. Vertical construction commenced in August 2025 with a pace targeted at one floor every two weeks through top-off in early 2026.

The Aman Brand Heritage

Aman is not a licensed name. It's a hotel operator with a specific service philosophy that translates -- literally, in staffing model -- into the residential program.

Founding. Adrian Zecha opened Amanpuri on Phuket in January 1988 with 40 rooms. Zecha had been looking for land for his own holiday house, found a coconut plantation, and pivoted the plan into a small boutique resort with partner Anil Thadani. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for peace, aman. Amanpuri and the next property, Amandari in Bali, established the resort model: remote settings, low room counts, staff-heavy service, and architecture that read local rather than international.

Growth. The brand expanded through Asia (Amanpulo in the Philippines, Amanwana in Indonesia, Amankila in Bali, Amangani in Wyoming and Amanjena in Marrakech among them) across the 1990s and early 2000s. Zecha stepped back from ownership after a contested control battle in the mid-2010s.

Doronin era. Vladislav Doronin led an investor group to acquire Aman in 2014. Under Doronin, the brand pivoted from resort-only to include gateway urban properties -- Aman Tokyo (2014), Aman Kyoto (2019), and Aman New York (August 2022) -- and to a major push into branded residential. Aman Residences Tokyo opened in November 2023 on the top 11 floors of the Mori JP Tower at Azabudai Hills, with 91 units and interiors by Yabu Pushelberg -- the first Aman-branded standalone residential building.

US branded residences. Aman's US branded-residence footprint before Miami is exactly one project: the 22 residences at Aman New York, in the landmarked Crown Building at 730 Fifth Avenue, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy and delivered in 2022. Resale transactions at Aman New York have recorded pricing in the $8,000-$11,400 per sf range, among the highest in Manhattan. Aman Miami Beach is the brand's first branded residence in Florida and the first outside a global gateway city center.

Amenities

Owners get the full Aman hospitality program through the hotel side of the property. The published amenity list runs across the two buildings:

Wellness

• Aman Spa with a reported footprint near 25,000 sf -- treatment rooms, hammam, sauna, pool, meditation area
• Fitness center overlooking the ocean
• Yoga pavilion
• Personalized wellness programming through the Aman Wellness protocol

Pool and beach

• Private residents' pool deck on the ocean side
• Oceanfront hotel pools shared with the hotel side
• Private beach club with attended lounges and beach service

Dining and social

• Aman signature restaurant as the flagship food-and-beverage program
• Aman Club intimate members-style room for tastings, cultural events, and private dining
• Priority access for residents at all Aman restaurants and lounges

Service

• 24-hour concierge and valet through Aman's staff-heavy service model
• In-residence dining and housekeeping via the hotel
• Aman guest suites in the adjacent Versailles hotel building for owners' overflow visitors

Aman's staffing model runs materially heavier than typical branded-residence programs -- part of why the operator commands a per-square-foot premium at every one of its urban residences.

How Aman Miami Beach Compares to Other Trophy Miami Residences

Aman is aimed at the same buyer set that shops the shortest list of Miami trophy residences. The competitive frame:

A few distinctions:

• Lowest unit count of the group. 22 residences is roughly half of Faena House and lower than every other benchmark trophy project. That translates into service ratios per resident that even the other branded projects can't match.
• The Versailles preservation is the differentiator on the site itself. Kuma's tower plus the restored 1940s Versailles hotel gives Aman a two-building configuration with meaningful footprint, rather than a single stacked amenity floor.
• First-in-Florida branded residence for the operator. Buyers get an Aman program that was previously only available at the New York Crown Building in North America.
• Design pedigree is genuinely global. Kuma sits alongside Foster + Partners (Faena House) and Herzog & de Meuron (Jade Signature) at the top of the Miami architectural roster.

The Mid-Beach and Faena District Neighborhood

Mid-Beach runs roughly from 24th Street north to 63rd Street. It has three anchors:

The Faena District -- 32nd to 36th Streets on Collins. Alan Faena and Len Blavatnik assembled and redeveloped the block starting in 2010. The district today includes:

• Faena Hotel Miami Beach at 3201 Collins -- the Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin-designed reopening of the 1947 Saxony Hotel
• Faena House at 3315 Collins -- the Foster + Partners condo tower that set Mid-Beach record pricing on delivery in 2015
• Faena Forum at 3300 Collins -- OMA's 43,000-sf cylinder-and-cube cultural venue
• Faena Bazaar and Faena Theater
• The Damien Hirst-installed Gone but Not Forgotten gilded mammoth on the pool deck

North Mid-Beach hospitality -- Soho Beach House at 4385 Collins, the Fontainebleau at 4441 Collins, and the Eden Roc at 4525 Collins.

South Mid-Beach hospitality -- the Miami Beach EDITION at 2901 Collins, the Ian Schrager and John Pawson-designed hotel and 26-residence property covered separately.

For neighborhood dining, drop Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann at Faena, Malibu Farm at the Nobu Miami Beach, Byblos at the Royal Palm, and Matador Room at EDITION into rotation. The 41st Street corridor three blocks west of Collins handles Publix, banks, and everyday retail. Downtown Miami and Brickell are 15 minutes over the MacArthur Causeway; South Beach dining and Lincoln Road are 10 minutes south; Bal Harbour Shops are 15 minutes north on Collins.

When will Aman Miami Beach deliver?

Vertical construction began in August 2025. Top-off is targeted for early 2026 with delivery on schedule for 2027. Suffolk Construction is the general contractor.

Can I still buy at Aman Miami Beach?

The building was fully presold in 2021 at an average reported price near $5,000 per sf. Availability now runs through resale and pre-delivery assignments rather than primary sales. Expect long gaps between listings -- the comparable Aman New York rarely has more than one or two homes on the market at any moment.

Is this the first Aman branded residence in the United States?

Aman New York opened in August 2022 at 730 Fifth Avenue with 22 residences in the Crown Building. Aman Miami Beach is the brand's second US residential project and first in Florida. It is the first Aman residence built as ground-up new construction paired with an adaptive-reuse hotel component.

What does the Versailles Hotel piece do?

The 1940s Versailles Hotel on the same parcel is being preserved and restored to house 56 Aman hotel keys, the arrival lobby, Aman Spa, and food-and-beverage. Residents access the hotel program as a single integrated Aman property -- so hotel services, spa, restaurants, and hotel suites for owner guests flow through to the residential tower.

Bottom Line

Aman Miami Beach is a 22-residence Kengo Kuma tower on the Mid-Beach oceanfront, paired with the preserved Versailles Hotel, developed by OKO Group and Access Industries, and operated by Aman on the same service model as Aman New York and Aman Tokyo. The building was fully presold in 2021, vertical construction is underway, and delivery is set for 2027. For buyers who want the lowest-density branded residence in the Miami market with a design pedigree comparable to Faena House and Jade Signature, Aman is the trophy of the current pre-construction cycle.
