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

Cipriani Residences Miami is an 80-story pre-construction tower at 1420 South Miami Avenue in Brickell, developed by Mast Capital in collaboration with Cipriani and designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by 1508 London. It is the first ground-up branded residence for the 90-plus-year-old Italian hospitality company anywhere in the United States. As of April 2026, construction reached 872 feet, temporarily surpassing Panorama Tower's 868-foot roof height to become the tallest residential tower under construction in Miami.

The tower carries 397 residences across one- to four-bedroom layouts, plus the ultra-luxury Canaletto Collection on the top 18 floors -- 68 upper-floor residences including 6 penthouses. Pricing starts around $1.7-$1.8 million for standard residences, climbs from $4.1 million into the Canaletto Collection, and reaches into the $16 million-plus range for penthouses. The first Cipriani penthouse sold at $16.2 million (roughly $3,333 per sf). Delivery is targeted for 2028.

The project was financed with a $600 million construction loan -- the largest single-tower residential construction loan in Florida history at the time of closing -- with Rockpoint as the equity partner on the residential portion.

The Quick Take

Where is Cipriani Residences Miami?

The site is on the west side of South Miami Avenue between SW 14th Terrace and SW 15th Road, in Brickell's residential core. The parcel spans the block between S Miami Avenue and SW 1st Street, immediately behind SLS Brickell. Cipriani Residences is roughly:

• Two blocks south of Brickell City Centre and its retail, dining, and Metromover connection
• A short walk from Mary Brickell Village and the SW 15th Road Metromover station
• Adjacent to the Underline linear park along the Metrorail alignment
• A few blocks from Simpson Park's hardwood hammock, one of the last remnants of the original Brickell tropical forest
• Walkable to Cipriani Downtown Miami at 465 Brickell Avenue, the brand's operating restaurant on the Miami River waterfront

Broader access:

• Brickell Key and the Mandarin Oriental five minutes east
• Bayfront Park, Miami Riverwalk, and the KASEYA Center ten minutes north
• PortMiami ten minutes north via Biscayne Boulevard
• Miami International Airport roughly 15-20 minutes west
• South Beach across the MacArthur Causeway, 15 minutes

Who's Behind Cipriani Residences?

The development team splits into three principals:

Mast Capital -- founded in 2006 by Camilo Miguel Jr., a University of Miami business graduate. Mast is a vertically integrated real estate investment and development firm headquartered in Miami with a portfolio totaling around $3.5 billion. The firm evolved from bridge lending and distressed acquisitions into full-spectrum development, controlling acquisition, financing, design, and asset management. Mast's other Florida projects include The Perigon Miami Beach (73-unit branded residence with a Michelin-starred restaurant program), Louver House in South Beach, and Saddlebrook Resort near Tampa. Cipriani is the firm's largest single-project bet.

Rockpoint -- Boston-based real estate private equity firm serving as the equity partner on Mast Capital's residential program. Rockpoint's involvement helped anchor the record $600 million construction loan on the tower.

Cipriani S.A. -- the Italian hospitality company that operates the brand. Cipriani's Miami operating footprint before the residences includes Cipriani Downtown Miami on Brickell Avenue at the Miami River waterfront. This is the brand's first ground-up branded-residence project in the United States; Casa Cipriani in New York was an adaptive-reuse hotel and members' club rather than a stand-alone residential tower.

Architecture and Design

The design architect is Arquitectonica, the Miami firm founded in 1977 by Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Hope Spear. Arquitectonica is Miami's largest and most influential residential architecture firm, with a portfolio spanning 1,200+ projects across 59 countries. Their Miami residential work includes Regalia Sunny Isles, Fendi Chateau, Aston Martin Residences, and now Cipriani -- effectively defining the last 30 years of the Miami skyline.

The Cipriani design vocabulary:

• Curved facade framing panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, Downtown Miami, and the Atlantic
• Approximately 940 feet in height at 80 stories
• Approximately 10-foot ceilings in the main living areas
• Expansive terraces accessible from living rooms and primary suites
• Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on residence elevations

Interiors are by 1508 London, the design firm behind ultra-luxury residential and hospitality interiors in London, Dubai, and gateway cities. The Cipriani interior palette runs to warm neutrals and rich wood tones, with:

• Custom Italian cabinetry
• Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance packages
• Sculptural stand-alone bathtubs in primary baths
• Smart-home automation integration
• Select residences with direct private elevator entry

Structural engineering is by Thornton Tomasetti; Moss Construction is the general contractor. The tower's roof height is programmed to reach approximately 940 feet at final completion, though its temporary status as the tallest residential tower under construction in the city depends on comp-set completions on other Brickell supertalls.

Brand Heritage: Cipriani Since 1931

Cipriani is one of the few branded-residence operators that predates World War II. The history:

Harry's Bar Venice, 1931. Giuseppe Cipriani Sr., a bartender at the Hotel Europa in Venice, opened Harry's Bar on May 13, 1931 in a former rope warehouse off Piazza San Marco. The bar was named for Harry Pickering, a young American whose family had cut him off and to whom Cipriani had lent 10,000 lire. When Pickering returned in February 1931 with the loan repaid plus 40,000 lire in additional capital, Cipriani used the funds to open his bar. Harry's Bar invented the Bellini cocktail and the beef dish Carpaccio, and drew a clientele of writers (Hemingway among the regulars), painters, aristocrats, and Hollywood figures.

Growth of the brand. Cipriani expanded through the 20th century into a global hospitality group. Under Giuseppe's son Arrigo Cipriani and later the third generation, the family built out restaurants and clubs in New York, London, Miami, Monte Carlo, Ibiza, and elsewhere. Cipriani S.A., the operating parent, runs Harry's Bar Venice, the Cipriani Downtown restaurants, Casa Cipriani members' clubs, and now the Cipriani branded residential program.

Miami operating footprint. Cipriani Downtown Miami operates on Brickell Avenue at the Miami River waterfront, at 465 Brickell. Casa Cipriani Miami Beach is a separately planned members' club project.

First US ground-up residence. Cipriani has been involved in branded residential in other markets, but Cipriani Residences Miami is the brand's first ground-up US branded-residence project. The Canaletto Collection at the top of the tower is intended to function as the flagship tier of the residential program.

Cipriani's amenity program covers more than 50,000 square feet and runs on Cipriani-branded hospitality operating standards:

How Cipriani Compares to Other Brickell Branded Residences

Brickell has one of the deepest branded-residence pipelines in the US. The comparative set:

Where Cipriani differentiates:

• Currently the tallest under-construction residential tower in Miami at 872 feet (as of April 2026), with a programmed roof height of ~940 feet.
• The oldest brand in the group by a wide margin -- Cipriani traces to 1931, versus most competitors post-1990.
• Two-tier residence program with the Canaletto Collection carved out as a separate flagship tier on the top 18 floors, priced 2-3x standard residence pricing.
• First ground-up US branded-residence project for Cipriani. Prior residential involvement in other markets and Casa Cipriani in New York were different formats.

The Brickell Neighborhood

Brickell is the densest urban core in Miami-Dade -- office towers, restaurants, condominium high-rises, and the city's main financial-district corridor. What is walking or Metromover distance from 1420 South Miami Avenue:

Retail and dining

• Brickell City Centre -- two blocks north, with Saks, retail, restaurants, and cinema
• Mary Brickell Village -- restaurants and everyday retail
• Komodo, Sexy Fish, Cipriani Downtown Miami, Casa Tua Cucina, La Mar at the Mandarin Oriental
• Cafes, boutique grocery, and everyday shops throughout the surrounding blocks

Parks and outdoor

• The Underline -- linear park along the Metrorail alignment
• Simpson Park Hammock -- 8.5-acre remnant of original tropical hardwood forest
• Brickell Key and Bayfront Park minutes east

Culture and civic

• KASEYA Center (formerly the FTX Arena, home of the Miami Heat)
• Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and Frost Museum of Science in Museum Park
• Miami Riverwalk connecting Brickell to Downtown

Transit

• SW 15th Road Metromover station within walking distance
• Brickell Metromover loop integrated with Metrorail
• Brickell Metrorail station connecting to Miami International Airport

Brickell's density means you can live here without owning a car for daily errands -- which is part of the branded-residence buyer profile the project targets.
