The James Hotel & Residences Miami

The James Hotel & Residences Miami is a proposed condo-hotel supertall in Downtown Miami that would carry the name of The James, a Sonesta International Hotels brand. Mint Developers, a partnership of Daniel Berman's AD1 Global, Big Development and To The Stars, is behind the project. Its June 2026 brochure places the tower at 244 NE 1st Street, on the block bounded by East Flagler Street, NE 1st Street, NE 2nd Avenue and NE 3rd Avenue. The January 2025 announcement gave 231 East Flagler Street on the same block, where the project was first proposed as Two31 Flagler. The plan has grown. In January 2025 it called for an 82-story, $850 million tower with about 336 furnished residences and a January 2028 opening. Developer materials in 2026 describe 101 stories rising to 1,049 feet, with 411 residences, 317 of them to be delivered fully furnished, and hotel services such as concierge and hospitality management. Unit sizes and floor plans have not been published. The amenity program covers about 45,000 square feet, plus a 56,000-square-foot sport and social club with seven indoor padel courts, wellness and oxygen chambers, a yoga and Pilates studio, a fitness center with an on-site nutritionist, co-working space and a speakeasy bar. A three-story sky lounge and rooftop club for select owners adds a spa with snow and rain rooms and cabanas with plunge pools, and a restaurant is planned at the top of the tower. Renderings released in 2026 show a dark glass tower with a copper-toned crown above a faceted white podium. As of November 2026 the project is still in planning. A groundbreaking targeted for early 2026 has not been reported, and county property records do not show the developers buying the site. The opening target has moved to 2030 on the project website and 2031 in the brochure. Pricing has not been released. The site is a block west of Biscayne Boulevard, a short walk from Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace and the Metromover.
